Philadelphia Roughly Used.

Philadelphia, March 9.-Philadel-
phia was snowbound. Railroad serv-
Zee in all directions was crippled and
in some cases, particularly to New
York, was discontinued. Telegraphic
communication was practically cut off.
The blizzard was the most dis
astrous since February, 1902. The
actual snowfall was about seven
inches, but in the suburbs it was much
heavier and the high winds piled it
up high.
Seven persons are dead as result
OF the storm. A motorman was crushed
to death between two trolley cars, a
stevedore fell into the hold of ship,
four men and woman died on the
street and numerous more or less seri-
Gus accidents are reported from all
sections of the city.
A portion of the brick wall Of the
Phillies ball park hundred feet long
was blown down. In the northeastern
part of the city several houses were
blown down. These we're untenanted,
however, and no one was injured.
Reports from all points up state as
far as Williamsport tell of great
havoc wrought. Houses were. blown
down and unroofed and many barns
we're destroyed.

Though reserving judgment on the

WEATHER A BARRIER
New Business Restricted in Many
Sections Of Country.


Dun's Review of Trade says this
week:
Severe storms restricted new bust.
ness in many sections of the country
this week and caused delay in making
deliveries on old orders. The intense
cold and heavy snowfall stimulated
activity in seasonable merchandise at
retail, but the interruption to general
trade was sufficient TO retard distribu.
tion considerably. Traffic blockades
hsmpered freight movements and re.
duced receipts resulted in higher
prices for various food products.

tendency to check progress in com
mercial and Industrial channels re

emanated from those lines benetitine

BY Ralph A. Watson.

written for the United Press.)
The Blue Sky law is an instrument
of protection to the investors of the
state. 1t is a barrier placed across
the path of fraud and deceit. 1t is
a token of honest dealing between man
and man, promise of fair play, an
exponent of the square and the hon
est deal tt is because of the unprin-
cipled greed of man, careless of the
misfortune of others in his mindful
ness of his own content; it is because
of dishonesty and Misrepresentation
and untruth; it is because too many
men, entrusted with the money and
the hopes of others, have proven un-
true to their trust because the voice
of self-profit has been louder than the
voice of conscience, that the law is
necessary. The result of the Blue Sky
law will be that the unprincipled pro-
moter, the dishonest broker, the fakir,
the fraud and curbstone dealer in wild
cat securities will find Oregon less
vale of hope fulfilled and more of a
Garden of Gethsemane.
A corporation is a child of the leg
islature, born of it's statutes and obedi-
ent to them. 1t has no power that
Imperial Valley press., 1914-01-27

it's stockholders with a saturated So
luton of stock certificates.
But what about the speculative in
vestment, the development of the pat
ented article, of problematical value;
the opening of the mine of unknown
worth. All patents have to be pro-
NOTED, all mines have to be developed.
l do not believe the legislature has any
right to legislate against honest and
legitimate speculation. 1t is the God
given right Of man to take a chance.
The mining game is a gambling
game, with Luck for the dealer and
Chance for the lookout. 1t is a good
game if it is square and bad one if
it is crooked. Any man has a right
to play it, but he has a right to know
when he sits in a game that the deal
is honest, the cards not marked, and
that he has a chance to WIN oack the
money he put in.
When the normal stockholder in
vests in mining stock he has the right
to expect that his money will be used
to develop the mine and not the horse
power of the presidents automobile.
An investor has the right to know
where his money is going, what it is
being spent for. He has the right to
insist, when he buys stock under the
representation that the money is go
ing to be used to sink prospect shaft,
that the shaft is sunk.
That is what the Blue Sky law is
for. Its purpose is to see that the
investor ges his moneys worth. 1t
means that no corporation can be
formed in the future unless it has more
assets than stock book and a foun
tain pen. The Blue Sky law does not
mean that the State of Oregon has un
dertaken to become the guarantor of
every security that passes the test of
the corporation department. The law
noes not attempt to eliminate all bus
mess risk and make every stock GER
tificate as safe and staple as a treas
ury note. 1t provides that every cor
co-partnership, company, as
sociatlon or person who shall issue
or negotiate securities, must show his
proposition to be safe, sane and equi-
table, and to hold out promise of sue
cess with proper, honest and efficient
1t means that the peo-
pie of Oregon will no longer be robbed
of millions of dollars by the dishonest
promoter and the Misrepresentation
of the stockholder and the wild cater
whose manipulations have done more
to stagnate legitimate development
than any other thing.
Imperial Valley press., 1914-01-27

the statutes do not grant. The corpo-
ration is simply the creature of the
law, by and through which many men
can act as a single man to develop
something, to produce something of
value to the stockholders and to the
advantage of the public generally. The
Blue Sky law reaches behind the COM
pany to the promoter, and beyond the
promoter to the stock salesman and the
stock broker, demanding of them hon
esty of intention and integrity of ac-
ton. 1t is not the purpose and it will
not be the effect of this law to hamper
circumscribe or retard the progress
or development of legitimate and hon
est corporate activity in this state.
The law is the friend of the square
corporation. Oregon wants and needs
the producing corporation to come in
to develop her resources, to market
her products, to open her mines, to in
crease her workshops, her mills and
factories.
Suppose John Doe wants to buy a
farm and has no money. He knows
where there are 100 acres of good
land, worth 500 an acre. He wants
to put it into crop and to carry it
until its produce will begin to pay him
back for his work and worry. The
land will cost him $4,000, the i'm
provements and working capital $1O,-
900 more. John Doe is entitled to bor-
row $4,000 to buy and equip his farm.
He would not be justified in borrow
ing 100000 or $4,000 or 100000 on
the deal. No one would be so opti-
mistic as to hope to find any man, or
set of men, who would loan $4,000
on $4,000 proposition; certainly not
100000. | fail to see, then, that if
John Doe cannot expect to borrow
100000 on $4,000 gamble, why
the promoter of corporation can ex-
pect to borrow of a band of stock
holders two or three times the value
of the basic proposition he has to of

more so because husbands and chill

The subject with which this volume

as premature. But you, am assured,
understand the fact that there is, and
has been and will continue to be, a
growing dissatisfaction with the ad-

"To be sure, one may say that
there is dissatisfaction with local and

affairs demand the closest attention

beneficial to the people and logically

throughout the whole human race a
demand for a justice which appeals
to the higher intelligence of all ma
tions alike, and that is the question
of the international rights of men.
"Appeals come from many directions
and for causes almost too innumer-

today, although the thirst for knowl-
edge can largely be gratiied in each
