Credit Is Due State
Board For This Very Pat
and Equitable Decision

The decision Of the Michigan securi-
ties commission in the matter Of the
stock of the Harroun Motors corpora
tor is verdict for the stockholders and
upholds ihe point eontended for by this
newspaper, which questioned only the
sale Of the stock before il had been ap-
proved by the commission and the sensa-
tional and misleading advertising Of the
brokers engaged in its sale.
The motives Of the Harroun corpora
ton itself were never part Of the issue
raised by The Times.
Promises were made in the advertising
that were unreasonable. The brokers
made contradictory and bungling state
ments concerning the potentialities in an
investment, according to the report Of
Richard H. Lee, special counsel for the
Associated AID Clubs Of the World who
made a personal investigation OF the
brokers in Detroit.
The licenses of these brokers, incident
ally. remain suspended.
The first restriction is that the $4,000
900 worth of stock given the original pro
moters must be held in escrow with the
commission until the corporation shows
earningsof six per cent on its entire cap
italization of $4,000 600.
The second restriction applies TO the
corporations advertising relating to th'
sale of further stock. 1t requires that al
advertisements shall be submitted t. th'
commission for approval before beinl
published.
A vote of thanks from stakeholder
and the public at large is due TO th'
securities commission for its very pat an,
most just and equitable decision.

Suppose a Man Should
Build a Roof and Then
Punch 1t Full of Holes?

There is no mistaking the sentiment
of the people Of Michigan relative TO the
kind Of prohibition law they want Tho
legislature to pass.
Word comes from the state capital
that Legislators who spent the weekend
in their home towns have returned con-
WINGED that Laws that viii mean exactly
what the amendment on the ballot said is
wanted.
Those Legislators who did not - home
have been busy opening letters from con-
stituents reminding'tbem that7h. state
was voted dry. and that il Is ~ To them
TO pass laws that VIII make it dIy
rather than laws Chat wil ail in keeping
il wet
AS a result Of having heard from the
people, the legislature expected to pass
the bone-dry measure introduced rs Rep
Macarthur.
This is cheering news.
Any other kind Of Law would lack woe
fully in consistency and would cheat the
10000 majority registered IN November
against booze and ii favor OF the nome
1t is argued against a bone-dry law on
the one hand. that prohibition was car
RED at the polls largely thru the votes
of vets who counted an Their ability to
obtain at all times liquor for their per
sonal use.
Another argument against a bone-dry
law is that it is the very kind Of law
the vets want.
These latter vets are recognized al
once, Of course, as the professionals and
the others, who have assumed the role IF
guardians, are as easily recognizable rs
those who say II can drink il or let il
alone" as was likewise remarked. some
what earlier in his career as a booze
fighter by the fellow whose case calls
now for the attention Of the aforesaid
guardians.
The quite apparent effect of a bone-dry
law would be, therefore. TO divide the
ranks of the vets while pleasing ALL
drys.
This would make prohibition much
surer in Michigan for some time 70 come
than would law that would not mean
prohibition at all.
The law proposed by the Anti-Saloon
league would amount to building q roof
