"Biue Sky" Law to Go in Operation.
The Wisconsin law regulating the
sale of securities, popularity known as
the blue sky law" becomes effective
October. 1. The railroad commission OF
Wisconsin is the body charged with
the administration of the law, and is
now preparing blanks to be used in
complying with it.
The law is in two more or less dis
tinct parts, one affecting dealers III
corporate securities and the other al
fecting companies which sell their
own securities. In the case of dealers,
a license from the railroad commits
sion is required, while in the case OF
companies the requirement is that
certain information regarding the af-
fairs of the company be submitted to-
the commission, and any company
which cannot satisfy the commission
that it is safe and sound and that it's
business is lawful and conducted in a
lawful manner is to be excluded from
doing business in the state.
Applicants for dealers licenses will
be required to show what securities
they propose to deal in and to file
lists of the agents who are to repre-
sent them in Wisconsin. These lists
Of securities and of agents are to be
kept up to date, and in addition per-
iodical reports will undoubtedly be
required of dealers showing what Sc
curities they have sold in Wisconsin.
1t will not be necessary for agents act
ing only on behalf of licensed dealers
the law as recently interpreted by the
attorney general contemplates the IL
censing only Of the principal and not
of the agent.
1t is not the intent of the law that
the private affairs of the dealer should
be inquired into except as such in
quiry may be necessary in isolated
cases where the integrity Of the deal
er is doubtful, nor will it be neces-
sary in the case of securities of good
standing for the commission to make
an extended investigation before per-
hitting the dealer to dispose of them
In the state.
In the case of companies selling
their own securities, however, the law
intends much more searching inves
tigtaion, and gives the commission
board powers of examination. twill
be necessary to obtain from such COM
panies statements Of their assets and
liabilities with sufficient description
of them SO that fictitious values can
be detected. 1t will also be neces-
sary in case of companies already in
operation to find out the financial re-,
suits of their operations in the past.
Their plan of selling securities, to-
gether with commissions to be paid,
prices to be obtained for the securi-
ties, etc., as well as their general plan
Of doing business, will be the subject
of inquiry. This portion of the law,
however, applies only to companies
which are to use the proceeds of the
sale of the securities to the extent of
$4,000 or more in the payment of pro-
motion fees, organization expenses,
commissions and similar items
TO Meet September 81,
There will be meeting Of the state
vice commission at Madison, Saturday,

man of the commission, says: "Our
first steps will be to send circular let
ters to city officials asking them about

able that we will first take up the
problem in the smaller cities, where it
Is not so complex"
