STATE TRAJDE DEPARTMENT GUARDS CITIZENS’ PURSES Division of Government Under Code System, Which Democrats Seek To Kill, Regulates Business and Shields Investors Against Fradulent Enter prises. By PAUL GREER (Omaha Bee) Protection of the people’s money is the prime duty of the department of trade and commerce under the code law. Depositors in the state banks are guaranteed against loss by failure; insurance policy holders are made se cure in tneir rights; investors are shielded against fradulent enterprise; trust companies .are regulated. In building and loan associations and addition, the state hail insurance sys tem is managed here, and likewise the fire prevention campaign. Th original appropriation for carry ing on this work in 1921 and 1922 was cut $20,000 by the special legislature session which met to reduce state taxes. This left about $260,000. The figure is not important for this de partment is more than self supporting thru the collection of fees. In fact it will turn over to the state treasury $500,000 more than it needs for the biennium. , There is justice in this, for a good many of the regulatory functions that it preforms arose at the request of the financial, institutions that are con cerned. It is to the advantage oi honest business to have the unfair practices Weeded out as a move luwuiu puuiu: cuiiuuexice. All Fees to Treasury All fees collected by the state art turned into the treasury and must be appropriated by the legislature before they can be spent. Even the federal aid funds amounting to millions of dol lars are first deposited in the state treasury. The fact that they are then reappropriated makes the amount ol money handled by the state bulk very large. As a matter of fact most of the regular boards are fianced by theii license and other fees and the ex pense does not enter into the bill for direct taxation. To eliminate these inspection forces would not go very far to reduce the state taxation. In the days of the civil war ad ministrative code centralized the busi ness of the state, a state banking board composed of the governor and attorn (\y general and auditor supervised the bank examinations. They employed a secretary at $3,000 a year. The same sort of a commission supervised in surance companies, with a secretary at $2,BOO. These two secretaries, as well as the two commissions have beer superseded under tlm code law by the department of trade and commerce 'with a secretary, J. E. Hart at a salary of $B,000 a year. Mr. Hart gave up the presidency of a bank at York tc enter the public service. Work Doubles There are now 980 state banks, 7C building and loan association, 3C trust companies and several install ment investmen t houses under the supervision of this bureau. The num ber of bank examiners is the same as before, 10. One chief and one sten ographer have been added to care foi the growth in the business. Forty bank receiverships due to de flation put a heavy strain on the bureau and its work has doubled, with very little increase in staff. This single branch will return to the state treas ury $20,000 more than its expenses for the two-year period. Consolidation under the code de partment has given the advantage ol issembling information on the con thin of all sorts of financial insiti ti'ins and of correlating state ac idities. The clerical force is now ransferred from one department tc .he other, according to seasonal de mands. Not only is greater security afforded the public, but more money is brought into the state treasury than under the former system. Blue Sky Enforcement Since the establishment of the code, in 1919, the bureau of insurance has deposited $1,128,444 in fees with the state treasurer. The little division of fire prevention raisec $20,379 through a levy on insurance companies in the first six months ol this year. Enforcement of the blue sky legis lation is among the most important duties of the department. Nothing & discourages thrift and ’hampers the development of honest business enterprises as do fake promotion schemes. Since -the establishment of the bureau of securities in 1919 there have been 1,050 applications for permits to sell stock, amounting to $111,642,000, of which sum $40,112, OAA wnc AoriloA Men with a dream, a hope or a hole in the ground still come into the office of G. T. TouVelle, chief of the bureau of securities. Very often they do not file an official application, but fold up their tents and leave the state without more than a preliminary in quiry about the state law. The ag gregate of these schemes that die before birth is probably as great as those officially refused. Stricter Law Drawn Up The first blue sky law in Nebraska was passed in 1913 at the request of Governor Aldrich. When the legis lature finished with It, it was full of loop holes and jokeifi. Its admin istration was turned Over to the state railway commission. There are hard ly any records of those first years, most of the orders apparently hav ing been given orally. Two men and a stenographer gave their time to this regulation. Subterfuges and evasions became so numerous that from time to. time amendments were made and finally the legislature of 1921 drew up a new and stricter law. The present bureau came into action in 1919, a time when blue sky sales were at their height. Since that time there have been many prosecutions but the claim is apparently well au thenticated that not a single case coming before the courts originated under this bureau. Under the rail way commission permits were giver for a year, and armed with these, some fake companies continued to sell their stock. Today there is not a single outstanding order authorizing the sale of mining or oil stock. Nips Fraud In The Bud Some have proposed the abolishment of the blue sky division on the theory that many small investors get the mistaken impression that companies passed by the state are guaranteed to be certainly pprofitable. Others hold that the statute punishing fraud should be sufficient. To this it is re plied that punishment for fraud is like locking the stable after .the horse has been stolen. Whereas the fraud statute contemplates the punishment of the fraud promoter after he has taken the money of the investors, blue sky legislation aims at nipping fraud in the bud. . The state bureau of securities does not attempt to eliminate the ordinary hazzards of business, but only fraud in the organization and promotion of commercial enterprises. It does seek to eliminate unconscionable risks but so far as speculation is concerned 95 per cent of its work is with spec ulative concerns. All it demands is that investors be given a run for their money. It strives to make sure that Ipromoters do not put the- money re ceived from stock into their own pock ets, but actually apply it to the estab lishment of the business they adver tise. On occasions companies are required to deposit the proceeds from stock sales until it is clear that they will be able to found the business that they propose. If the project appears not to be feasible the money is on hand to repay the visitors. Forty Per Cent Cut The bureau of securities volun teered the largest reduction in its appropriation of any branch of the state government By improving its system of handling work it was able to stand a 40 per cent cut by the special session. The staff is composed of a chief, five examiners, four steno graphers and a councellor who is paid by the office of the attorney general. Salaries run from one at $3,000 to $1, 200 a year. Thus, in almost every function, the code department of trade and com merce, acts as the financial watchdog of the people of Nebraska. Secretary Hart is authorized to grant and revoke licenses to "bankers and to insurance agents. When evidence of bad prac tice, misrepresentation, collusion or un fair settlement is found he acts in be half of the public and deprives the guilty man of his permit to work in any institution of the kind. The political attacks on this, along with other code departments, have made the work of the secretary more difficult than it otherwise would have been. His faith in the code system, however, is secure, and he believes that if the democrats should get in office and attempt to repeal the code law, as their platform promises, every legitimate interest in the state would suffer. EMME'LNEBRASKA. A Nuenschivander, of Oakdale, who has been the relief agent for the C. & N. W. Railway since the illness of A. G. Abart, left on Thursday. His place was filled by another relief man. 1 D. H. Allen has finished putting up the hay on his ranch south of town. ‘ He says the hay crop is pretty light this year. Mrs. Walker, of Lynch, Nebraska, is here visiting with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Fritton and other relatives. Mrs. Minnie Enbody went out to Amelia Sunday evening of last week to spend several days with a son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Enbody. Mrs. Guy Cole and Mrs. J. N. Mar ing motored to the I. R. Harding home north of O’Neill one’ day last week and spent the day visiting. Word from Miss Kathleen Tenborg 1 states that she has accepted a year’s contract with the Northwestern Chau tauqua Co., booking towns for the com ing year, doing advance advertising and selling season tickets. Rev. S. M. Rasmussen was called to Newman Grove Tuesday of last week to attend the funeral of a cousin, Miss Pearl Rasmussen, who was accidential ly drowned while in swimming with a party of girl friends. She had recent ly gone to Minnesota where she had accepted a position as teacher for the coming year. A girl friend, an other member of the party, was also drowned. Miss Bertha Marshall came down from Stuart last week to be with her sister, Mrs J. L. Crawford, for a few days. • i Jas. C. Graham was rather sur- i prised Wednesday morrdng of last ' week to find that someone had bro ken into his garage during the night and borrowed the two rear tires and the cushion of his Ford. The latest i report was that they had not yet been . returned. in. uuuni, u i., nuucit'u lUbs uy fire Wednesday evening of last week when two good chicken houses were totally destroyed by fire, also a num ber of chickens were burned. A son, Carl, about five years old, found a match and went into the chicken coop to light it, and succeeded in setting the building on fire. Then being afraid of a whipping he hid in the burning building. Mr. Luben was not at home being at work in the field. When Mrs. Luben noticed the fire she suspected that one of the children had , set it; she called them but Carl did ^ not come. She then went to he door j of the chicken house but it was so filled i with smoke that she could not see. • She called again but got no answer. . Hearing a slight movement inside she ‘ went in and found the boy; he was pretty well frightened, his haic was . partly singed off but was otherwise unharmed. The burning buildings were only about forty feet from the f house and Mrs. Luben and her sister, Miss Barnes, thought for a time that the heat would set the house on fire, but some men who were working in a nearby hay field arrived there in time to help keep the fire from spreading so no other damage was done. The 1 loss was partly covered by $40 in surance. REDUCED FARES TO LINCOLN AND RETURN ( Account Nebraska State Fair 1 September 3rd-8th, 1922, Chicago & Norfh Western Ry.
