INSURANCE STOCK SALES
COVERED BY NEW LAW

Salem Ore. June 17.-The blue
sky law covers insurance companies
as well as any other corporation
when they desire to sell stock or any
other kind of securities, according to
an opinion rendered by Attorney Cen
eral Crawford to Corporation Commis-
stoned Watson.
The question came up on an inquiry
from the Union Pacific Life Insurance
company as to whether it would have
to comply with the blue sky law be-
fore II could sell about $4,000 worth
of capital stock of which 1t wished to
dispose.
Attorney General Crawford held
that while the regulation of the IN
surance business itself came under
the state insurance department, the
matter of stock selling was subject to
the regulation of the blue sky law.
In the same opinion he held that
the new law does not apply to banks
in selling their own stock, but Will
apply to any of them that make
business Of negotiating securities
whether OF their own or other cor
porations.

or of the authors of The Federalist,
or any classic, then the greatest of
daily chroniclers of present-day his
tory would admit that he needed them
to give depth, range and insight to
MS comment. But if it is meant that
for success in journalism today, even
in conformity to the highest ideals of
the calling, it is necessary for the
writer to know the inside of any con-
siderable number of the books issu-
ing from the press, the statement is
questionable.
Thinkers of nation now find ways
of getting publicity prior to book pub
lication. All this Is grist to those
journalists who can count on adequate
reporting of the innumerable speech
es and addresses given from one
of population. Combining this ex-
preston of opinion by experts with his
own scrutiny of the news Of the day
the journalist comes to his own de-
cision. 1t is not denied that often he
would write more weightily IL he
knew the contents of books written
by experts. 1t Is not denied that a
newspaper writer conversant with
standard works of history, biography
and belles-letters and able to quote
aptly and effectively is useful men,
