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superseded under tlm code law by the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.

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 ,

not come. She then went to he door j

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.
