Des Moines. July 14.-Another Of the
new laws that will cause additional la
Dor in the department where corpora
lions are required to report, II the bill
which virtually forces all foreign cor
porations in under tho so-called Peter
son law Of Iowa. which requires such
corporations to submit their plans and
make reports.
All foreign corporations are required
to file articles of Incorporation except
those that are organised strictly for
purpose Of manufacture or mercantile
work. That has long been the law.
But very few corporations doing BUSH
ness in Iowa come under the exception,
in fact most mercantile and manufac-
turing corporations are organized with
the broadcast Of powers. But the new
incorporate in Iowa
Hereafter. when any corporation do
ing business In Iowa, and this includes
holding companies and similar outside
organization. desires to issue stock
other than on cash payments, 1t must
set permission from the state Off
Gals. No railroad company now do
ing BUSINESS in Iowa, for instance. can
increase capital stock without submit
ting the matter to the state officials.
The same IL true Of gas. water. cleo
trio light and similar companies. They
are all under the Iowa law no matter
where their head offices may be.
1t IL anticipated that because Of the
fact that all discriminating advantage
in favor OF the foreign over the domes-
tic company has now been taken away.
a large number Of the new corpora
tions will be put directly under Iowa
law at the start. The new law IL de-
cided disbursement to the industry
Of organizing Iowa companies under
the laws Of other states.
Those who imagine that one day
this week the whole matter Of whether

to collect q millage tax for improve
ment Of its own property around the
state house will be settled by q Judge
sitting in chambers in Ottumwa, are
doomed to disappointment. No such

main question, which would have to 60
into court in Jefferson county and
come up in its turn on the docket
there. The Judge. however, could de-
eide that no temporary Injunction
would issue. or he might decide that
he would issue one.
But he will be confronted right at
