A PROTECTION TO INVESTORS.

The great activity in the promotion
of mining enterprises and the DISPOSE
ton of the public to buy most any
thing in the way of mining stock with
out the careful investigation that Is
given to other classes of investment
has attracted attention to a law OF
the state of Nevada which requires all
mining companies to permanently
stamp stock certificates sold in man
ner that will clearly indicate TO the
purchaser whether it is treasury stock
or so-called promotion stock. 1t is not
uncommon for new mining corpora
tions to enter into an arrangement
with a promoter to dispose Of block
of stock at a certain figure and for do
ing so he receives a certain amount of
stock. Now If a purchaser buys his
stock direct from the officers of the
company he may be reasonably certain
that his money is being used for the
development of the property, but how
Is he to determine this if he is dealing
with broker or promoter who has
both treasury stock and promotion
stock, or if there is no way to definite
ly distinguish one from the other? 1t
is to the interest of mining operators
that the public should have the great
est protection in this respect. When a
man buys stock in a new property he
does so with the understanding that
his money will be used to develop the
property and give value to his invest
ment, and he should have some means
of knowing that his money is not go
ing into the pocket of some individual
holder of the stock.
Another system Is perhaps a more
common method of imposition upon
easy going investors in mining stock,
but which amounts to the same
thing, is the payment of large commits
sions for the sale of treasury stock,
There can of course be no reasonable
objection urged against the payment
of fair commission to an agent or
promoter for finding a market for
treasury stock, but when the commits
sion is as much or more than the
amount turned in to the treasury of
the company, it is evident that the man
who buys stock is being imposed upon
If the stock of the company is being
offered say at rs cents per share and
only 10 cents per share is turned over
to the company and Is cents goes in
to the pocket of the promoter for float
ing the stock, it is evident that the
man who puts up the money is not
getting a square deal
There have been questionable trans
actions in the promotion of Occur
d'Alene mining companies in which
methods here referred to have been
used, but they are not common. How
ever, the fact that they have occurred
should cause investors to make more
careful Investigations before parting
with their money.
The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1916-03-16

A. 2. Berlin arrived from Pennsyl-
vania last week and proceeded at once
to Murray, where he will give his at
tention to the development of the
property of the Penn Idaho Mining
company located on Butte creek. Mr..
Berlin is an engineer by profession
and whatever the result of his work
on the Idaho, he says he is go
ing to stay with mining for at least
two years. He has great faith in his
property, but outside the probability of
making a mine, he considers the ex-
perience he will gain in practical min
ing will amply repay him.

OF course, when l was younger, things
were lively now an then,
An in my time I've seen some stunts

In fact, this here preparedness you

Was fairly well developed hereabouts

1t wasn't jist a case of bein' ready at

But ready all tn time, an ready first,
or not at all.

But now, my son, jest cast yer lamps

PICKLES IMPORTANT CROP
Upper Wisconsin Farmers Realize
From SIS to $3.50 an Acre on
Their Cucumbers.

Marinette Reorganization of the
1916 picking season in this locality
shows that pickles are one of the sta
pie cash crops playing an important
part in the settlement of the new lands
of upper Wisconsin. The report of
John Lee, manager of the picking sta
ton at Crivitz, shows receipts of 5000
bushels for the season, and l. M. GRIPPE,
manager at Wausaukee, reports $500
bushels A new station with two watts
was erected during the summer at Por-
terfeld, and has been operated
throughout the season. Farmers real
lied all the way from SIS to $3.50 per
acre on their cucumbers. Caulifower
also showed good returns, being grown
on contract for the picking companies
the same as cucumbers. Because Gu
cumbers grow fast here, are crisp and
firm and disease free, the big picking
companies have been encouraging
their growth here for a number Of
years. Company representatives say
the acreage in upper eastern Wiscon-
sin will be more than doubled in 1917.

GOVERNOR CALLS SPECIAL SEES.
SION TO PROVIDE MEANS FOR
GUARDsMEN TO VOTE.
TWO METHODS SUGGESTED
Law Makers to Discuss Whether Vote
Shall Be Cast on the Field or
MaiIed-May Discuss Vot-
ing Machines.

Madison Gov Phillip has issued a
call for a special session of the state
legislature to provide means for the
National guardsmen now serving on
the border to vote. The session, it is
understood, will convene Oct. 10.
Two methods of voting have been
suggested, and considerable discussion
may ensue before the final decision is
reached. The lawmakers, must decide
whether the guardsmen shall vote on
the field before duly authorized cleo.
ton commissioners, or whether the
vote shall be mailed by the men to
the precinct in the state where they
are legal voters.
The. matter of the use of voting ma.
chimes also has been discussed as a
possible subject to come before the
special session.
The secretary Of state has issued a
notice of a primary election to be held
on Oct. IL to nominate candidates for
state senator in the Fifth senatorial
district TO succeed Senator e. T. Fair
child, who resigned to accept an ap-

FINISH LONG MARCH
WISCONSIN BOYS COMPLETE So
MILE HIKE FROM AUSTIN.
Return Trip Made in Two Days Less
Time Than Required For Going
Excellent Showing Made.

San Antonio, Text was footsore
but Iight-hearted lot of soldier boys
that marched through San Antonio
headed for Camp Wilson on the last
lap of the eight-three mile hike from
Austin.
Although legs were swollen, backs
ached and threats were parched, the
militia from Illinois and Wisconsin
that formed the advance guard of Gen.
Greene's division were happy in the
fact that with the arrival in Camp Viii
son they were to receive orders that
would send at least part of them
home.
The main body of the troops in the
twelfth provisional division on reach
ing Camp Wilson completed the
march from Austin in two days less
time than was required for the going
trip. The excellent form shown by the
guardsmen caused Gen. Greene to
shorten the schedule.
According to staff officers of the
southern department, the fact that the
troops are able to shorten the time of
their going trip by two days on the
return march, shows the benefit of the
training they have received since leav-
ing for Austin Sept. Is. On the start
from Camp Wilson many men fell out
of the ranks for the first two or three
days, even in short marches which the
schedule called for. Now they are
coming back, able to negotiate greater
distances in far better condition.

and other property owned and operat-
ed by organizations for charitable,
benevolent, religious and educational
purposes" is exempt from taxation, ac-
cording to the opinion of Attorney Gen

the tax commission. which in the past
has assessed and taxed such property.
AS there is no express statutory provis-

future abide by this opinion, according
to the statement of Chairman Haugen.

MANY STUDENTS LOSE VOTE
Only Permanent Residents of Madison
May Use Ballot Is the Ruling
Of Supreme Court.

Madison - No student may vote in
Madison who comes here solely for
educational purposes, who is depend
ent upon his family for support and
who has not the intention of perma-
nently residing in this city.
By decision, written by Justice F..
G. Eschweiler and handed down by the
supreme court the great majority of
University of Wisconsin students will
be disfranchised. Under it, only those
may vote who can show that they are
not dependent upon their families, not
the residents of any other city and
who propose to make Madison their
home
This was the decision in the case Of
Fred Seibold of Camp Douglas. It is a
reversal of Judge e. Ray Stevens of
this city.
The court sustained the decisions Of
Judge Stevens in the cases of John
Gross and Albert Asbahr, in which it
was clearly shown that they were self
supporting and "emancipated" from
their families. Both may vote.
In the case OF Randolph WadSWOrth
of Kentucky, Judge Stevens was also
upheld, the supreme court declaring
that Wadsworth came to Madison for
educational purposes only and is not
entitled to vote.
All cases were actions against cleo
ton officials who refused to allow stu
dents to vote.
