Pierre.-Blue sky legislation has its
inning in the legislation for several
daSsduring the past week. Like the
bone dry law and several other stat
utes inserted in the penal code in the
past few years the blue sky law was
provided with a full set of teeth, but.
unfortunately the teeth weren't sharp
enough, and it has become the
duty of the present legislature te
sharpen them. The state securities
commission, which is charged with
the duty of administering the
provisions of this law have discovered
that it needs tightening up in sever.
al important respects in order to en-
able it to accomplish the most effective
results.
Outside Concerns Cause Trouble
Among he chief difficulties that
the commission is confronted with in
the administration of this law are
those relating to the operations of CON
Germs outside the state. In some cases
these concerns make a practice of slim
ping men into the state for a few days
to sell stock or other securities usual
ly worthless, before the commission be-
ON aware of their presence in the
state. Others manage to inflict them
selves upon the u~nsuspecting public
by way of a c~unningly contrived mail
order scheme. Much difficulty in the
meantime is also experienced in ascer-
tanning satisfactory evidence of the
responsibility of these outside CON
Germs which in most cases are able TO
put up a front that looks perfectly
legitimate and proper even to the most
technical investigator yet afterwards
proves to be absolutely unsound and
likely to be an imposition upon the
public.
How the "F1eecers' Work
In many cases the solicitors OF UNI
sound or semi-unreliable concerns
from outside the state find it possible
to secure the endorsements and rec
concentrations of bankers and promi-
nent men to aid them in the sale Of
their so-called securities. Bankers in
several instances have been known to
exchange letters of endorsement for
blocks of stock or other emoluments
in companies that proved to be un-
worthy of confidence with the result
fhat many people We're imposed upon
and defrauded out of their money.
Among the most notorious cases of
this kind the commission has reported
are several mail order houses and
chat store propositions selling their
so-called memberships. These are sold
at prices ranging from $25 to 500
each and usually entitle the misguided

It is. the desire of the securities COM
mission that the legislative adopt ade-
quate remedial measures whereby al1
such successfully. al least than is pos,
sible under the law as it now stand.
Grated Enough to Build r., r..
During the debate on the bill to
amend the blue sky law in the senate
some rank stories came to light as to
how men and women in many parts
of the state had been swindled out Of
their money in the past year or two
showing that while the blue sky law
has done a great deal of good in de-
feating the designs Of INSCRIPTIONS
stock statesmen it, is yet very far from
perfect in it's operations Senator Ur-
dahl Of Lake county reported that he
had heard of numerous complaints
against an alleged Sioux City packing
plant that had sold thousands and
thousands of dollars worth of their
stock in Lake I'M adjoining counties
and there seemed to be no prospects
that the investors would ever see their
money again. Senator Will, of Jerauld
county said that in the last two years
unsound securities in his county TO
build and equip a railroad clear across
the county, and not one dollar of these
investments would ever be realized on.
If there was any way Of tightening up
this law, he said. so as to cut out all
such ~manipulations he was heartily in
favor of adopting it. Senator's Lin
coin, Milne, Bennett and Others also
brought some serious complaints.
Many Headed Off.
While the operations Of the South
Dakota blue sky law hav fallen far
SIX o X
short of the expected results in many
respects the commission has been high
ly successful in protecting the people
Of the state against fraud and imposi-
tions of every description, as may be
readily observed from the fact that
within the past two years it has de-
clined to issue permits for the sale of
Sc, 200. 900 of stocks and alleged securi-
ties coming from unsound concerns of
different kinds who wanted to do bust
ness in the state.
One of these concerns for instance
was a bogus oil company organized in
Wyoming. Parties had bought a half
section of worthless land for a cash
payment of 5000, which they then con
verted into s50O0,0o0 of alleged essets
in a company capitalized at $2,00O,000.
On this basis with a lot of extraVa-
giant advertising matter they am to

tiles commission for a license to sell

there is no doubt whatever, in spite of
predictions to the contrary from non
partisan league agitators. that some
definite action will be taken with re-
gard to a cement plant before the pres
ent legislature adjourns. THE joint
committee having this matter under
consideration expects to make its re.
port about the middle Of next week.
Will Need Investigation.
The state market commissioners is
about ready to present his report on
his investigation concerning the high
prices of mill feeds. Recently the
Legislature adopted a joint resolution,
introduced by Representative Craft OF
Minnehaha, directing the market com
missioner to make such an investiga-
ton nj report to this legislature in
time TO permit of its taking such ac
ton as may be deemed expedient for
the relief of mill feed consumers. The
commissioner has investigated the
mills at Watertown, Aberdeen and
other South Dakota points as well as
the big milling concerns of the twin
cities and did not get as much salts
faction as he had reason to expect. He
finds, however, that the principal rea-
son for the prevailing high prices of
mill feed is that there has been an.
unusually strong demand from south
ern territory, which is at its maximum
height ut this time of the year. An
otflcrt1ing is that for certain condi-

considerable time to ascertain ITS acs
tual standing which was eventually
found to be entirely unsound and the
license to sell stock was promptly re-
millions In 1t" Affair.
Another concern, incorporated I'M
der the laws of Delewara with business
offices in Minneapolis, organized for
nitrogen chiefly for the United States
government. Tt was highly capitalize
ed Its literature was put up in the fin
est style of the art and IT'S proposition
was indeed an attractive one. Its rep
-resentatives came to Pierre with all
the pomp of men Of immense wealth
and applied to the commission for d
permit to float a million dollars worth
of stock, but upon q. critical investiga-
ton the concern was found to be with
out any substantial assets whatever
and the application was promptly re-
fused. During the past year the com
mission ha denied permit to 10 or a do
zen other concern scarcely any bet
ter than those named. Within a per
.iod of two years the commission has
granted permits to 1913 companies to do
business in the state, has issued II
.censes to ZIG agents to sell stock and
other securities and cancelled the per-
mits of SO others.
Financially the commission is more
than self sustaining for in the last
biennial period it's cash receipts from
the sale of privileges amounted TO S6,-
593.45 with expenditures of 4.251.32,
leaving a balance in the treasury of

Cement Bill Hits Snag.
The report that the cement products
committee of the house had introduce
ed a bill for the creation Of an inter.
nal improvement commission with
power to establish a cement plant,
which has been sent out from this city
is untrue. The cement products com
mittees of the house and senate are
hard at work on q bill OF such a char
acter but at this time no agreement
has been reached. The present draft
of their biz provides for an appropsia
alton of $4,000 which is expected to
be reduced some, to be used in making
Investigations and obtaining inforIna-
ton regarding matters relating to the
practicability of establishing a cement
plant and The marketing Of it's product.
he present plan of the bill provides
for a commission to take charge of the
project. If his commission is created
it will have power to issue the bonds of
the state for one million dollars to fl
nance the cement plant proposition
without further action by the legisla-
ture. The bill in it's present form is
meeting with a good deal of objection
on the ground that it leaves too much
authority in the hands of the proposed
commission and on that account will
probably be subjected to considerable
alteration, but the sentiment in favor
of a state plant is very pronounced in
both branches of the legislature and
