WASHINGTON-M than bill
lion dollars q year is lost by Ameri-
cans to get-rich-quick promoters and
stock swindlers.
Much of this is taken from widows
and others whose means are SO small
that they riSk-and lose-everything
in the belief that they can attain
financial comfort.
The swindlers work principally
through the United States mails.
For six years Congressman Edward
E. Denison of Illinois has fought alone
to end this situation through federal
legislation. But the bill which he in
troduced in 1922 is still in congress
and it is not likely to be passed this
session unless pressure is brought to
bear by those who favor it. The
reason is that there is no politics in
volved in the measure and there is
opposition to it. That combination
has killed most bills designed for no
other purpose than to serve the pub
tic interest.
Oll 1llGClCOOO III CAcbO cbAANA OhActAAOAA@o
and mining interests elsewhere in the
west have been responsible for block
ing the bill Denison says. 1t was
once passed by the house, but there
was opposition in the senate which
prevented the vote required to make
it law.
The Denison bill, introduced with
the backing of the Investment Bank
Crs association. the National Asso-
citation of State Securities Commits
sioners and the executive COMMITTEES
of the American Bankers association,
provides that no one shall send liter
ature and securities through the mail
or advertise or deal in them by tele-
phone or telegraph when such pro-
motion or sale could not be made
within the state where attempted de-
livery is made. Thus, it merely seeks
Douglas daily dispatch., 1928-03-14

to prevent evasion of state blue sky
laws.
In .191O, Kansas enacted the first
so-called blue sky law to prevent sale
of fraudulent and worthless Securi-
ties Other states have. followed and
now all but two, Nevada and Della
ware, have them in one form or an
other.
"These laws have been gradually
improved until now many of them are
effective Denison says. They are
of two types:
First, the typical blue sky law,
prohibiting sale of securities inside
the state unless they or the sellers
qualified under the law. Some laws
require that both seller and securities
be qualified
Second, the fraud law, by which
the attorney general, being advised
that fraudulent stocks are being sold,
is authorized to prosecute the crooks"
But the crooks, Denison explains,
have taken to the mails and even to
the telephone and telegraph BY
operating from one state and doing
business by mail in another they are
engaged in interstate commerce and
so can't be touched by state laws
For instance, swindlers may establish
headquarters in Camden, N. j., and
operate across the river in Philadel-
phia, or from st. Louis into Illinois
without interference. Congress alone
may control interstate commerce.
Fake oil companies in Texas and
fake mining companies in Nevada are
doing an enormous business through
the mail, Denison says. These mulct
a great part of the annual swindling
toll estimated as high as $l,400,000,-
600. Fake oil and mining stock has
generally displaced fake automobile
and chain store stock in the public'S
affections.

More Truth Than Poetry
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE
BY MEAT ALONE

Mr.. Stefanssen tells us diet of meat,
In the city, or out on the trail
Is all that human consumer need
eat
To be hearty and husky and hale.
He says that the Eskimos never eat
bread
Or omelet SouffIes or prune' pie.
On walrus and seal meat and bear
meat they're fed
they die
And so for long spells he subsists OH
the fare,
Which the chill Polar seas. furnish
forth
To the people accustomed to breathe
the pure air
OF the snowy and blizzard swept
north.
Perhaps he is right. I would never
dispute
Such widely known scientists
claims
potatoes and fruit
ana QlSuGS VIII Hlelu-CarQ names.
But I think that the Eskimo, ready
and rough
And devoted to meat though he be,
Should find in his igloo a tart or
cream puff
Or Succulent frontage de brie;
He would pass up the walrus and seal
for a while.
When his eyes on these dainties he
cast
And sit himself down with broad
beaming smile
To a glad and grateful repast.
No doubt everybody can live upon
meat
AS my friend the explorer declares;
But why, when there's plenty OF bar
ley and wheat
And raSpberries, cherries and pears,
Plum pudding, spaghetti, roast corn on
the ear
And eggs, newly cleaned from the
hen,
When all of the markets are filled
with good cheer,
Why not change ones fare now and
then?

MORE PAVING
PLANNED FOR
CITY STREETS
Seventh Street Property
Presents Petition For
Improvement.

Initial action towards improving
Seventh street between Ross and
Adams avenues with asphaltic pave
mcnt was taken by the city council
last night.
city Engineer Phil w. Knights
was instructed to make 4 survey Of
the project and prepare plans and
specifications Of the proposed devel-
opmcnt work for consideration by
the council.
\ petition asking that that por-
ton of Seventh street not already
paved be improved with curbs, side
walks and asphaltic pavement, speci.
fications for which were left to the
decision of the city engineer and
council, was presented by Henry l..
Loud, real estate operator.
According to Loud, GO per cent
of the property frontage involved
in the proposed development pro
gram, was represented by signatures
to the petition.
A wear probably will elapse before
construction work is under way and
that period will provide ample time
for preparing plans and meeting all
legal requirements.
A tentative estimate prepared by
knights last night set the cost of
the proposed development work at
about $50, 900. Seventh street at
present is paved between State and
broadway and Vine and Wensley
streets. ias {
When the Seventh street pave
ment is extended to Adams avenue
the city park and north side districts
will be connected with the business
section and southern portion of the
city bv another thoroughfare.
knights said it is hoped to have
Adams avenue pavement extended
from Eighth to Fifth street IN the
near future and when that is done
another connection with the San
Diego and Los Angeles highways
will be provided.
The city engineer Indicated he
would like to see Adams avenue fur
tbcr improved at the same time the
Seventh street work is done.
Pipe Contract Signed
The contract for furnishing the
city with 5000 feet of water pipe
was awarded to the American Cast
Iron Pipe company of Birmingham,
