BLUE SKY"
LAW HERE
EFFECTIVE
New Companies Securities to Be
Given Close Scrutiny; Many
Laws Passed by Last
Legislature.

Oklahoma CITY, June 2S.-Sixty
three senate and house bills, passed
by the last legislature, are now ef
fective under the rule that all non
emergency measures are in force
ninety days after the adjournment
of the legislature. Adjournment was
taken on March 30
Probably one of the most impor-
tant measures to become effective
is the blue sky" law, senate bill
No 1875. Originally introduced in
both houses, it embodied practically
the Kansas law, but went through a
course of amendments and revisions
At one time its administration was
lodged in the corporation commits
sion, but finally placed in the hands
of a commission composed of the
secreary of state, state auditor and
bank commissioner.
The commission is given power to
select a secretary who shall be sec
retary to the commission, and paid
official. He shall look after the de-
tails in connection with inspection Of
records and reports of all stock sell
ing companies, make Investigations
will perform all functions bestowed
upon it by law. Lewis Terry of Ho-
bart has been selected as the sec
retary to the board and will take up
his duties July 1.
This wild be the drst blue sky"
law for Oklahoma. The commission
is going to pay close attention to the
companies coming under it's super
vision, and reports giCbn under oath
will be closely scanned. Specific in
vestigations will be made of any com
pany where conditions Justify
Another law becoming effective or
rather an amendment, is the con
pensation act The old law is
amended in the more material points.
An attempt was made to refer this
measure, but failure to obtain names
to petitions caused those in the move
to drop the matter. Compensation
is substantially increased, the wait
ing period reduced, and other benefi-
ciary provisions are strengthened in
the amended lbil

dragged out for public inspection. The
storm broke around the head of Rodin,
such q storm even for him, a veteran
in the matter of weathering storms.
His reputation as a sculptor, now
fairly established, was torn to shreds
in a night, and so great was the pub
lie clamor that the statue had to be
withdrawn.
Rodin himself fairly went under in
the general unheaval. He was tired
and overworked. and this catastrophe
all but finished him. He had some
thing like a nervous breakdown and 1t
was someatime before he recovered his
proverbial serenity. Not that he

After that everything passed in a

inal consists of a group of three peo-
pie, Victor Hugo In the middle with
two women, one on either side of him.
All we'll informed people know that
there was another woman besides his
wife who played an important part in
the life of the great poet and states
man--Juliette Duret--and knowing
this the study of that group Of three
becomes profoundly psychologist icai. The
group Is called pensees intime (inti-
mate thoughts). ana in the study of
this one arrives at the real idea of
Rodin in the outstretched arm which
seems to be holding the thoughts in
the balance of justice.
The French guard carefully the SC
crets of their illustrious fellow citi-
zens. and even in the heat of the
most bitter political campaigns they
are punctilious In their respect for
the personal characteristics of their
adversaries. Knowing this 1t is easy
to understand how they were willing
even to sacrifice the perfection of a
work OF art, in the fear of any allusion
to something strictly personal in the
life OF Victor Hugo. One of the most
fruitful sources of Robins artistic
troubles was that he refused to cater
to peoples little weaknesses as re-
CARDS themselves. and when there was
choice to be made between beauty
and truth, beauty had to take back
seat every time. He did things as he
conceived them in the light of truth,
nor gave any thought as to what the
final results might be when the work
came to face the subject, the public
and the critics.
Thus his notorious Balzac. This
statue was ordered of Rodin by the
Government and was destined to be
placed In one of the public squares
along the Boulevard Haussmann. Now.
Rodin did not begin that work with
out having first collected every docu-
ment obtainable concerning the ap-
pearance and personality OF the pro-
digious author of La Coincide HUI
maine" Balzac was known to have
been something of a monster physi-
cally, a prototype of some of his own
most celebrated characters. Further
more. he had a dropsical body, died
Of that malady in fact, and Victor
Hugo tells in one Of his books, Chooses
vues," of a visit to his friend Balzac
on his death bed. He speaks of touch
ing one of the blue swollen hands
which lay outside the covers and of
the shock of getting no response, no
recognition Of his presence.
The Monks Cnssock.
Rodin took all the facts and after
he had modelled the really marvellous
head, the fabulous powerful head and
face, and when he had modelled the
| figure. he finally spread over it the
famous monks cassock. which Balzac
was always wont to wear when walk
