WHAT THE GOVERNMENT
IS DOING FOR YOU
We have cause in every way to feel proud
of our country but we are as a nation too
little informed as to the activities and actual
benefits of our Government. To remedy this situation
locally, we have secured the exclusive right to dis
tribute a 6eries of attractively illustrated folders and
booklets in which art given new and interesting
facts about Our Government and how we all share
its beneficent influence.
We will gladly send one of this set each month to
those who will request it, and as a permanent con
tainer for this valuable information, we will present
a substantial brown and gold portfolio upon personal
call at this Institution. No obligation.

tainly I opposed tiie presint blue sky

The above is the gist of a state
ment issued :oday by State Senator
Walter V. Iloagland. republican. i'i
leply to the charge by Cuy T. Tou
e!!e. chief of the bureau of securi
ties under the MeKelvio code admin
istration that liwagland had done
more than any other member of thv
last two legislatures lo hamper the
alleged attempts of Touvelle's bureau
to check wildcat stuck s;;!c.- in Ne

Senator lloagland's statement. in
pen. "and I do not care io engage in
a dispute, u itii a person of .Mr. Tou
velle's standing in the stttte, but that
the public may not be deceived. I am
willing to state the simple facts.
"Tuuve'.le makes no specific charge
and it is apparent that he desires to
pa-s the 'buck' to someone eise for
the failure of his department to
cheek sabs of worthless stocks, in
the state and to prosecute those who
have defrauded the people in this
w a '
"As attorney for some of these vic
tims. 1 have sough! prosecution of
certain swindlers Lit! recently, only
lo find that the so-cal!d air tight
blue sky law which Ton wile says he
got thiaunh the last legislature, had
applied the white wash to all crimes
and criminal acts of persons in the
vale of 2oi.(M)0.t)00 of fraudulent
securities in Nebraska during the
pa.-t four years.
"I admit that I opposed the pre
sent blue sky law and when the his
tory is finally written it will be
found that my theory is correct and
that why we do not. netd so many
laws establishing bureaus and com
missions to supervise and control the
ordinary conduct of competent in
dividuals in tiie business world, but
v. e do nt ed laws that will be effec
tive to punish and place behind the
penitentiary bars, men who commit
the frauds upon the people.
"The whole trouble with the blue
sky law as it has existed and as it
now exist.-; in addition to the execu
tive machinery for its operation, is
found in the following statement
made by the governor in his. last in
auguration address, which is as fol
lows :
" 'The issuance of permits for the sale
of certain secinitic- :h::t have been
passed by the blue sky is regarded
as n guarantee of the worth of those
securities and securitv salesmen are
making the most of this opportunity
to appropriate the name of the state
to their own selfish purposes.
Says Can't Escape
"We have had in operation in the
state of Nebraska during the past six
year:; a blue sky law which at all
time-; permitted the railway commis
sion and tin. bureau of securities to
ex ere No its discretion and to refuse
to grant permits to any individual fr
the sale of stock where the applica
tion convinced tin1 bureau or railway
commission that, it was inadvisable
to issue the permit.
"This provision of the law placed
the responsibility upon these depart
ments for the issuance of permits to
persons en dcorporations who should
not have had them, and they can
ii t escape the inefliciency of their
examination and tiie recklessness in
the issuance of permits, by attempt
ing to "pass to buck to some legis
lator who has opposed their ideas to
the passage of legislation.
