E0N0R DEL. ATTORNEYS

Delaware's corporation law. from
which the State derives substantial
Income. is threatened, according to
reports brought back to Delaware by
attorneys from this State, who last
week attended a meeting of the
National Bar Association at Cincin-
natl. Ohio.
The national association has con-
mittee on uniform laws. Among the
work scheduled for this COMMITTEES is
to prepare a uniform corporation act.
After this has been accomplished. the
Jaw will be adopted by the national as
'ociation and then submitted to all
the states for consideration.
At the present time there are two
other states that have corporation
act under which companies may be
Incorporated, that are very similar to
Delaware. But those states DO not
attract the business that Delaware
does in the charter line. Consequently
the fees and yearly licenses or levies
that Delaware receives from charter
ing so many corporations is not en-
jcyed by other states.

pletcs its labors this year. and pre-
scnts such charter Incorporating act

wareans TO decide whether they wish
TO adopt il. II all states should have
the same Incorporating act. then there
would be afforded an equal oppor-
tunity for all to incorporate COM
panies in their own states. Just now
Delaware is obtaining many incorpo-
rations from states all over the
country.
Should the revenue obtained from
chartering corporations be removed or
greatly diminished in Delaware, the
loss would be severely felt
