Incorporated Par Value
Arc Void.

sI2 Campbell Building.
OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. 27-Stock
that has been sold by corporations
organized in this state for less than
par value that has been named in
the articles of Incorporation OF such
concerns is void, according to de-
cision of the supreme court today.
The opinion, written by Justice
Rainey, calls attention to the con-
stitution of the state which in Sec
ton SO, article Q, says that mo cor
poration shall issue stock except for
money, labor done, or property ac-
tually received to the amount of the
par value thereof, and all fictitious
increases of stock or Indebtedness
shall be void" The court holds that
stock certificates are void In the
hands OF all holders IL they were
issued by the corporation in viola
ton of the constitution.
The decision came in the case of
Frank Il. Lee and A. d. Morton VS..
c. Fl. Cameron and the Paden Oil
company, on an appeal from the Ok
lahoma county district court. The
judgment of the lower court is re-
versed and remanded. Suit was
brought by Lee, stakeholder in the
Paden company. against Cameron to
cancel 260 shares of stock of the
corporation issued by II to Cameron.
1t was alleged that the par value of
the stock issued to Cameron was $25
a share, but that the purported con-
sideration was about 40 per cent of
its par value.
The court further said: Corpora
tions are not entitled to and should
not receive credit of having a large
paid-up capital when only small
percentage of the par value of the
stock issued has ever been paid into
the treasury of the company"

Gas association, comprising five hum

The oil men objected to the provi-
sions Of the law which would allow
the government to take a large per-
centage of oil profits above an amount

many oil properties worth millions are
beirg operated on a capitalization of
less than 100000, it was pointed out

that efforts will re made to carry
Russia into the position of an active
ally of the central powers. This might
produce most serious situation by
making available to Germany the vast
stores of food, oil and cotton of Russia
and even tho the Teutons found IL
impossible to convert the disorganized
country into an active military ally,
the million or more German, Austrian
and Turkish prisoners held in Russia
would be freed for service with the
Teutonic armies.
Long Anticipated.
Ever since the overturning of the
Kerensky government military strate-
gists here have been anticipating such
a condition as exists today in Russia.
This Is one of the principal problems
with which the inter-allied war coun-
ell in Paris is expected to deal. With
out being bound by any special in
structions. Colonel House and his mill
tary adviser. General Bliss. will CO.
operate with the representatives OF
the entente powers in Iramtng some
policy to meet the sit6ation.
Strong hope Is felt that any attempt
by Lenine to turn Russia over To Ger
many will meet with powerful resist
ancc at home. Any action decided up
on by the allies will be directed n,
the Petrograd extremists and not al
the people of Russia.
Reports that come from the Cos
sack country that the hetman, Gen
eral Kaledines, may be the master OF
the situation thru mis- control of the
food which is necessary to maintain
any military force in the north OF
Russia. have encouraged military ex-
perts here 20 believe that in spite OF
the aid Of his German advisers, Lenine
and his faction may be brought tc
terms.

producer is forced either to sell under the
buyers conditions or not at ALL and then
how the ultimate consumer is mulcted by

banks are al. eminently guilty in this

line of blockade, effectively shutting off the
producer from the consumer is more com

blockade, according to Mr.. Howe.

THE GREAT WAR IS
LIKE THE CRUSADES
Men Are Fighting for an Ideal
of Democratic Govern
ment on Earth

Out of the ruck of innumerable and more
or less valueless war books David Jayne
Hill's THE Rebuilding of Europe" emerges
outstandngly. The eminent jurist writes
out of the background of intimate expert
cnce with European policies and diplom icy
and from the philosophic depths of "A trained
historian and "A university professor. Doctor
Hill served. after leaving his academic
chair, rs United States Minister to republic
can Switzerland and democratic Neither
lands and as ambassador to autocratic and
imperialistic Germany.
The very title of his book is construc-
tive. The text considers the great war only
in rel ltion to its consequences. It surveys
old Europe and forecasts the promise and
achievements of the new Europe. The pre-
liminarics on watch he bases his conclu-
sions are valuable as his ultimate proph-
ecies Through n carefully studied and
accurately informed discussion of the de-
vclopncnt Of dverging governmental ideals
and national and racial "geiSts" he informs
the reader Of the primary causes of the
world conilagraton. Many perplexites of
diverse and conflicting policies are clari-
ned. The evolutionary transfer of SOW
ereignty from the State to peolNe is pointed
out in its relation to the war. The clma X
comes in Doctor Hills statement that not
since the Crusaders battled for the Chris
tan faith has there been waged war
so abstract in its aspirations and aims.
WV oppoStu VI SONtItISHs pIiii-
osophy are keenly defined in their lfe-and-
death struggle-nperalism at its ist dcs-
perate stand and democracy wide-spread-
ing and impelled by the will for victory.
The weaknesses and the strength of both
causes are keenly and imparti Ally pre-
sented. Past faiths are shown disin-
tegrating, and the new internationalsm
which Germany has unwittingy and unwll-
ingly precpitatcd, is haled as the hope OF
the future.

Teamwork by Fourteen
NOyeliStS

Fourteen American authors had Il great
deal of fun in writing composite novel
about suffrage and American politics. The
result of their united efforts Is thrilling,
absorbing work that has dash of love
throughout, yirility in each line and "A
decided punch in every one Of the fourteen
chapters.
"'rhe Sturdy Oak is a euphemistic title
intended to describe the strsng chivalrous
oak of manhood protecting the modest
shrinking violet Hf womankind from the

Briefly the book deals with the troubles
that beset one George Remington, sturdy
oak candidate for district attorney in a
war-boom town. Being inexperienced, he
makes the fatal mistake of taking sides on
the suffrage question, vigorously denounc-
ing the Votes-for-women crusade at the
outset of his campaign. Then, between the
women and his campaign managers the
young politician finds no rest until he is
finally elected by the women themselves.
But Remington has considerably changed
his views before rhis delightful denouement.

story flows along. Few readers, indeed,

Fabre for Children

Jean Henri Fabre's scientific stories for
children are SO popular in France that the
book containing them has run through
nineteen editions. He is known on this
side of the ocean chiefly a student of
insect life. His scientific knowledge il
broader than that. In the book for young
people he describes the mineral wonders
under the earth as well as the plant and
animal life ON its surface. A translation
of the nineteenth edition Of the French book
has appeared. II reminds one in form Of the
Rollo hooks Of two or three generations
ago. This means that the dialogue Is
rather siff and constrained. Yet the story
