MAY LICENSE LAND AGENTS
Wisconsin Advancement Association
Approves Plan Whereby Prospec-
tive Settlers Would Be Protected.

Milwaukee, a meeting of the
Wisconsin Advancement association,
a resolution providing for state sys-
tenn of licensing real estate agents as
a means of preventing the sale of
worthless land to prospective farmers,
was approved Supporters of the reso-
luton claim that the sale OF poor land
in the northern part of the state has
started the rumor that all of the land
in the moth is worthless and that it
has discouraged many persons from
settling in that section. As there is
a vast amount of agricultural land in
upper Wisconsin, the passing of a
law to protect would-be settlers from
exploitation would hasten the develop
ment of that part of the state, it is
claimed.

DECISIONS
IN FRANCHISE SUIT
FEDERAL COURT JUDGES MAY
RULE ON PERMANENcY OF
INJUNCTION.
TWO COMPANIES INVOLVED
Western Union Telegraph and PhiIa.
delphia and Reading Coal and
Iron Corporations Ask Re-
strainins Order.

Madison.-A decision is expected
to be announced soon in the suits
brought by the Western Union Tele-
graph company and the Philadelphia
and Reading Coal and Iron company
to restrain the secretary of state
from reyoking their franchises to do
business in Wisconsin on the ground
that they violated statute purport
ing to prohibit them from transfer
ing from state to federal courts suits
brought against them by residents of
Wisconsin. The companies applied
to the federal court for injunetions
to restrain the secretary of state
from revoking their franchises and
arguments on the applications were
heard by Judges c, c. Kohlsaat OF
Chicago, f. A. Geiger of Milwaukee
and A. L. Sanborn of Madison in Chi
cage last November.
The original action grew out OF
the action brought by Walter L.
Houser against the telegraph COM
pany in the Dane county circuit court
for damages, alleging failure on the
part of the telegraph company to
transmit and deliver a telegram sent
from Philadelphia to a Mr. Blum at
Mondovi, Wis. The telegraph COM
pany applied for an order from the
court permitting 1t to take the mat
ter into a federal court, which was
granted.
The Philadelphia and Reading Coal
and Iron company is a plaintiff in the
present action through the suit
: brought by Ole Huen against the com
pany claiming damages for injuries
} alleged to have been sustained Will,
in the employ of the company. TIL,
action was started in the superior
court of Douglas county and upon re
quest of the company the case wa
removed to federal court.
The right of the secretary of stat,
to revoke the licenses of these com
panies is based upon section 1870
Of the statutes OF Wisconsin I'm the
following language
! Whenever any foreign corpora.
ton doing business In this state shall
remove or make application TO re-
move into any district court of the
United States any action or proceed
ing commenced against it by any cit
izen of this state upon any claim or
cause of action arising within this
state, It shall be the duty OF the sec
rotary of state, upon such fact be-
ing made to appear to him, to re-
woke the license of such corporation
to do business within this state"
1t is expected that the decision OF
the judges will involve the validity
of the law and determine the right
of the state to say whether actions
started in a state court may be re-
moved to a federal court on the pc
tition of an interstate corporation.
