CALL FOR BANK STATEMENT.
State Auditor Asks For Report at Close
Of Business April 1e.

Of Business April 1e.
Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines, April FL The sec
ond call for the year of the
auditor for a bank statement is for the
18th OF April. The last bank state
ment made a very fine showing Of the
condition OF the banks. There is no
reason to expect anything different this
time.
There have been about twonty banks
organized under laws since the first
of the year. Five have gone out OF
existence-three by consolidation and
two to become national banks. The
latter two are in Elma and Rembrandt.
Banks in Des Moines, Cedar Rapids
and Gilman have consolidated.
The adoption Of law authorizing
banks organized under the state law
to join the federal reserve will have
no effect on the situation. Some time
ago four or five state organized banks
were DESTROYS of Joining the federal re-
serve, but it Is said none OF them now
desire to do SO. since there is a law
pernnit ting it. Only sixteen banks or
ganized under state laws in the whole
United States have become members OF
the federal reserve system All the
national banks are compelled to be-
long.

PRODUCTIVE EFFICIENCY"
PLEA OF RAILROAD MEN
FOR HIGHER WAGES.
Observation-Disclosures
Especial correspendence.l

Washington, April REPRODUCTIVE
efficiency" is the new term which has
been applied by the railroad brother
hoods to an economic theory which
has been presented in connection with
the wage and hours dispute now I'M
der consideration by the board Of arbi-
tration which is endeayoring to settle
the controversy between niety-eight
western railroads and $4,000 engineers
and firemen.
Whether the board of arbitration will
recognize this principle. Or. at least,
take it into account, is matter OF
much moment both to the railroad en-
ployes and to the railroads. In fact,
it Is of moment to the big Industrial
concerns of the country.
The decision of the board Of arbitra-
ton Is expected in the next ten days
or two weeks.
What is productive EFFICIENCY" It
is the doctrine that under the most
modern conditions the productivity OF
the railroad employee is much enhanced
and that therefore he is entitled to
more wages than formerly. OF course.
1t could be applied to other lines OF in
dustry as well as railroads but this is
productive efficiency" SO far as the
present wage and hours dispute is con-
cerned.
Representatives OF the railroad
brotherhoods have urged this doctrine
on the board of arbitration. 1t Is con-
tended in general that with more
powerful locomotives, greater trains,
better roadbeds. and the like, the OPP
Grating efficiency OF the railroads has
increased but the same time the en-
ployes have had to do harder and more
complicated work. a greater volume
of traffic has been handled in proper
ton to number Of engineers, firemen.
etc, than before. This means that
relatively the wages paid for the engi-
neers and firemen and ether train
men have gone down. At least this is
what the railroad nrothezhoods have
sought to demonstrate.

REMopELED STATUTE TO BE
PLACED IN OPERATION o.
GINNING JULY 4
PERMIT MUST BE PROCURED
TO SELL SECURITIES
New Law Designed Only to Prevent
Fraud Upon Public - Secretary Of
State May Refuse Permission to Sell
Securities He Believes Fraudulent or
Designed to Promote Freud.
Special to Times-Repubhcan.

Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines. April Gin a few days
the new blue sky" Jaw will be put
into operation and ali persons who
have securities Of any kind to offer for
sale in the state, who have confidence
in the same or who are perfectly will
ing to have the light Of publicity shine
upon their doings, Will proceed to Sc
cure permits for sale of such securities
and pay a nominal fee to the state or
Iowa.
The new law to protect Iowa inves-
tors differs from the old one in that the
new one is distinctly statute against
frauds When application is made for
a permit to sell securities the secretary
OF state must investigate, first by
scrutiny OF the application blanks as
filed out and signed under oath. and II
not fully satisfied then to make or
cause to be made a personal inVesti-
CATION. He must be convinced that the
securities are honest offered with pur-
pose TO repay. In case the secretary
of state is convinced that the scheme
is fraudulent or will work a fraud, he
will reject the application and refuse
the permit. 1t is all hinged on the
question Of fraud.
This Is the plan Of operation OF blue
sky laws agreed upon by the attorney
generals Of several states where cases
were pending and taci:ly agreed to oF
the representatives Of the investment
brokers who deal In blue sky securities.
Land Sales Not Included.
The new Iowa law does not govern
land sale contracts Of any kind. 1t does
not affect the sale of any stock Of cor
porations organized IN Iowa and COM
plying fully with the Iowa law as to
character of the stock issued. Such
stock can be sold without q special
permit.
The issue Of a permit to sell stock OF
an outside corporation in iowa does not
Of itself authorize the company whose
stock is thus sold to engage in business
in Iowa. Much confusion has arisen
on this point
Under the old law the secretary of
state issued eighty-one permits to sell
securities and three licenses to brokers.
There were two applications for per-
mits refused. One of the applicants
has since been doing business in Iowa
thru the mails.
The organization Of blue sky securi
ties dealers, which fought the Old law
will. 1t Is assumed, hght theasnew one,
while they have insisted they want a
law that will shut out fraud 1t is stated
they have gone into court in every
state to kill of every law that has been
passed.
