FARMERS TO EXPOSE
FAKE STOCK SALES

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. Steps to
protect Indiana farmers against fake
stock selling schemes were taken at a
meeting of the executive committee
Of the Indiana Federation Of Farmers
Associations.
A motion was passed by the com.
mittee recommending that the board
of directors of the federation provide
means whereby any member of the
federation can obtain complete re-
port as to the financial status of any
company, individual or corporation
offering bonds or stocks for sale.
, 1t was further recommended that a
rigid blue sky law be prepared and
presented to the next session of the
legislature. The legislature commit
tee was directed to aid in urging that
the bill be passed. The new appoint.
ments to the central legislative com
mittee of the federation were made
by the committee. They are Henry
Lochers, Of Johnson county. and
Charles w. Hickman. of Tippecanoe
county
According to William Bosson, treas
urer Of the federation. the action OF
the committee resulted from the mum
erous fake stock schemes which have
been presented to the farmers of the
state in the last year. The farmers
have lost thousands of dollars in this
way, he said.

FRANCHISE LEADERS
ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT
PLAN 0E GOVERNOR

The Richmond Women's Franchise
League is enthusiastic about the pro-
posed one-day session Of the legasla-
ture to ratify the federal amendment
according to several members Of the
organization. No organized campaign
Is under way here to obtain the
pledges Of the legislators.
"At the Republican women's lunch
con held recently. the governor was
most enthusiastically applauded when
he suggested that he would. probably
have special session to ratify the
amendment" Miss Annette Edmunds,
treasurer OF the league, said In dis
cussing the matter today.
The governors expressed reason for
making this proposition was that both
the tax law and the road law were In
the higher courts and neither Of them
could be taken up by the assembly
until decisions on them had been
handed down by the courts. He be-
lieved that these cases would not be
decided for several months.
Time IL Critical.
In the meantime the ratification of
the suffrage amendment in Indiana Is
being delayed at q time which will be
very critical for the suffrage cause,
not only in this state but all over the
United States, said a local woman.
There are several states waiting for
Indiana to ratify before they take &C.
ton. The link in the chain of ratifica-
tion is being broken by Indiana's delay,
and for this reason the governor is
willing to call the session provided the
Franchise League can gain the support
Of the legislators to the pl~:..
Thirty-six states must ratify to make
the amendment operative. Both the
political parties and the great majority
of men and women in this country
wish every adult to be a full citizen
by the 1920 election.
Indiana will not be the state to de-
lay this great consummation.
