BLUE SKY JOKERS
ARE POINTED OUT
Secretary Of Better Business Bureau
Calls Goodrich Measure mon.
strosity" and Says IL Is Ideal
for Stock Statesmen.
AFFORDS PUBLIC NO PROTECTION

indianapolis. Ind.-The blue sky
law passed by the recent special ses-
sion OF the legislature IL termed n
"monstrosity" and one that will suit
"the salesman of questionable securi-
ties" by c. F. Olwin, secretary-mana-
ger of the indianapolis Better Bust
ness Bureau in report made 10 his
organization. The passage of such a
law was urged by Governor Goodrich
in his message to the assembly and
the administration forces threw their
weight behind the measure.
, When persons really interested IN
obtaining a law that would protect
ne public from questionable securi-
ties" learned that II, like the curative
tax measure. was full of jokers. they
recalled that the governor himself
has been interested from time TO
time in the promotion of stock enter
prises through his Winchester bank.
Ideal for Stock Statesmen.
I'm the opinion OF the bureau mana
ger" Mr.. Olwin's report says, this
is not such a blue sky law as the peo-
pie OF Indiana have been demanding.
nor suoh law as they had a right to
expect their representatives in the
senate and house to give them. To
our mind it is an ideal stock sales
mems blue sky law.
The first amendment struck out
the words principal or agent. in Sec
tion | and inserted the word issuer'
making this and succeeding sections
apply only to the issuer' who may
undertake by advertisement, circu.
lar. prospectus, through agents or
other public, or general Offering at
tempt to dispose OF securities, amen
able to this law
Here is how this may work. Let
us call the issuer' the Come.on-Motor
Corporation with home office in Illi-
nois. IL they, for themselves or
through agents, attempt to sell stock
in this state they will come under the
jurisdiction of the blue sky commits
sion. However, TO get around this
law they make a secret contract with

count and pHoceed to sell it in this
state at $3.50 per share II is their
stock and they have a right to dis
pose of it and advertise II for sale

Eliminate Meat Of Bill.

THE next amendment which
worked havoc with this bill was that
which struck out all of paragraph
e of Section 1 and other parts of the
bill requiring the filing of copies OF
all Contracts of agreements between
tho issuer and underwriters OF such
securities ETC., and all contracts rela-
tive to the sale or disposition of
stock. together with copies of the
minutes of directors or stockholders
relating TO or affecting the issue OF
such securities.
This provision was the very meat
would have done more than all the
rest of the bill put together to pro-
tect the public from the sale OF ques-
tionable securities But the stock
salesman does not want publicity in
such matters and this was stricken
from the bill
Without the provision requiring
the filing OF copies OF all contracts
and minutes relative to the DISPOSE
ton of stock, most any sort of a deal
may be put over without the knowl-
edge OF the investing public
Sales Are Not VoiuabIe.
Another amendment struck out
all of Section 20. which made sales
consummatet In violation OF tie pro-
visions of this act 'voidable' provid-
ing that request for the return of the
money was made in writing within
one year. Is there any good reason
why sale made in violation of the
law shsSld not bs voidabe?
The salesman of questionable Sc
curities prefers to work under blue
sky law If such a law is 10 his liking.
as he uses the fact that the state has
blue sky law to boost hts sales We
believe that the Indiana law will suit
him. He will in effect say, You know
Indiana has one Of the most stringent
blue say laws o; any State In the
union The commission even passes

cations OF applicants. IL this stock
were not all right, you may bet We
wouldn't be allowed TO sell the

Industry Lags.

rGSn news 1IOM IIle COdl IuiHSS tells of the troubles of the operators, and it seems more than likely that la- bor troubles will add to the probability of coal shortage the coming winter. And what is true with regard to coal also appears to apply to most of the industrial plants of the country which are oversold, and which are vainly trying to speed up production.
 The farmers have shown no dispesi- tion to curtail their produce, except for the one reason Of insufficient help to care for what the soil will yield in abundance. Of course there is the dreaded apprehension of a lack in transportation facilities; and the car shortage has had tendency to make farmers as well as manufacturers con- servative. But while, everywhere there has been tendency for manu- 1acturers and farmers sloE down. the striking reason has been that there has not been enough labor to carry on the ordinary game of life.
 At the same time, in the cities as well as in the towns and country, there has been a house shortage. In New York it is not uncommon for a single office room to rent for as high as thousand dollars year. In Washington offices are double what they were before the war. This condi- ton holds good in most of the large cities. Apparently there are not enough people to man the industries, to take care of farm production, and to build new houses and building struc- lures within the Nation. The United States census now being taken, snows the population is increasing, but it does not indicate what has become of the laboring people, who evidently are becoming scarcer and scarcer as the years roll by. If America could ana- lyze her true economic condition she would likely find out that the country is several years behind in the affairs of it's shops and households.
 Whatever the idealists and theorists could figure out from above facts is uncertain. In any event conditions all show that the people who predict prices are sadly misguided, as there are of necessity, continued good times ahead-and these likely will improve as more people are compelled to turn to the ranks of industry after dissipat- ing the small fortunes that they accu- mulated during war times. Doubtless prices are slowly coming down, due to the fact that business profteers and labor profiteers are being forced to subscribe to saner business conditions

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
By J. E. Jones'
Breaking The News to Cox and Hard,
 ing

EttS
 The Presidential candidates and their Vices" have been receiving po- litical delegations bearing the impor- tant tidings of the Chicago and San Francisco conventions. And now that the candidates have been notified it seems probable that everybody has been told whose names will be on the ballots in the frosty and melancholy days of November. But 1t does not seem at all likely that either business or industry is apt to become excited over the Presidential campaign. In this respect there have been a good many comments to the effect that nei- ther Harding nor Cox are regarded as firebrands. The more correct explana- tion lies in the fact that in recent years, and particularly during the war, that it has been determined by the American people that the business of government must be confined to the handling of the affairs of government. In other words the day has passed when anyone expects new President or new Congress to start out upon a program to aproot the established pol icies under which business and com merce have been built. The ghosts of government ownership, the Plumb plan, naturalization of industries and the like, have been successfully put to sleep in the United States, and in place of these restless possibilities there has been built a substantial foundation for our transportation system, as rep resented by the Federal Reserve Banks. It therefore appears that the present outlook on life promises the customary dullness of midsummer en- livened by vacation periods for the rich and pour; after which revival in business and the security markets are looked for. While the frost is on the pumpkin and the fodder is in the shock the campaign orators and political managers will enliven the country with brisk campaign. Amid one final resounding shout the news will sweep the land telling who is the victor. No matter what is the result it is not like ly to add one business failure or to up- set and industrial or financial enter prise in the country. There is no dan ger that the bottom will fall out of the old U. S. A.
