Would Revise Domestic and
Foreign Corporation
Laws of Alabama
COLLECTS $S1,O19IN
PAST TWO YEARS
Claims Pending for Approximately
$4,000 Franchise Taxes-Belieyes
Next Legislature Will Au-
th0rize Many Changes

Montgomery, October Especial )--B/
revision of the domestic and foreign
corporation laws of the state the annual
revenues would be increased thousands of
dollars, and at che same time work no
hardship upon the legitimate corporate in
terests of Alabama. This is the opinion
of Daniel w. Troy. special counsel for
the state in the collection of taxes and
fees due by corporations.
That Mr. Troy knows whereof he speaks
may be shown by the fact that during
the past two years he has brought into
tlfe state treasury $Sl,o19. all of which
money would have escaped but for mis- ac-
tivity in bringing corporations to task for
violations of the Alabama statutes.
In addition to the $4,000 which Mr.. Troy
has already collected, there are now
pending claims for approximately So, 900
franchise taxes due the state and for
half that much due the counties follow
ing the decision of the supreme court In
the case of the Kansas City, Memphis
and Birmingham railroad against j. p.
Stiles. These claims will probably all be
adjusted in favor of the state and coun-
ties
During the past two years Mr.. Troy
has made close and careful study of
the foreign and domestic corporation laws
of the state. with the result that he is
probably better prepared to suggest legit-
innate changes in these statutes than any
man in Alabama.
According to Mr.. Troy ''the domestic
corporation law of Alabama is almost a
direct invitation to fraudulent issues
He declares that d corporation may be
organized with $1,000 capital. only half of
which may be subscribed for. The cor
poration may then obtain authority to
issue additional stock up to several mil
lions This additional stock may not lie
subscribed for. but may be traded off for
property. Should the enterprise then fail,
the creditors have no recourse except by
looking to the original takers of the $1,000
Laws Need Much Revision
The foreign corporation laws also need
much revision. Under the present stat
utes, in order to check the status of a
foreign corporation, it is necessary to OBJ
tain information from the sixty-seven
counties of the state together with facts
from two other sources.
Mr.. Troy believes the next legislature
will authorize many changes in the cor
poration laws of the state, and it Is be-
lieved he will play a conspicuous part in
bringing about the needed changes.
When the state and counties have re-
ceived the various franchise taxes due
them. Mr.. Troy will have brought Tito
the treasury nearly 100000. Even with
out the adjustment of the franchise taxes
claims he will have brought into the stare
treasury by January l in the neighbour
hood of 500, 900.
Mr.. Troy has made the following col
lections: Penalties foreign corporations,
s55, 100; entrance fees, $97705; permit fees,
s1270; franchise taxes due state, $16-5o
franchise taxes uue counties, sS44i. This
makes total of Troy collections of $751;
