of of 1 1 a a EVENING -OAKLAND TRIBUNE- APRIL 11, 1913. BREED PROPOSES BLUE- SKY LAW Public Wants Facts as to Investments, Legislator Believes. SACRAMENTO, April Declaring that what the investing publio wants 1s simply facts as to characte1 of an Investment offered and not to Have the State made guardian over their business affairs, Senator H. Breed of Oakland yesterday introduced a proposed "bluesky' Jaw tn the Senate. He.

states that what California wants is a law regulating the character of investments that will induce legitimate enterprises to come into the State and drive bad business propositions out, He believes his measure will accomplish this, and in introducing the bill set forth its purposes in the following statement: "There have been many so-called bluesky laws introduced at this session of the Legislature. There are undoubtedly evils existing in the business world whereby -quick concerns and other swindling concerns prey upon the unwary and' it would be a consummation devoutly be wished get rid of these concerns. It seems to me Irrational, however, interfere with all the bustDeSS of the State in order to get at a few, crookamination of the bills already presented shows that nearly all of them are based upon the principle that a single commissioner should be vested with the power to determine whether an enterprise would be a paying Investment or not, I this impossible, and such acts, 1f into would hinder Pelleted and retard the development of our State. No man will ever sit: as commissioner who will have the qualifications to exercise the tremendous powers; conferred by these other acts. DUTY OF STATE.

"I believe it is the duty of the State to see that the investing public 1s provided with the truth, If, therefore, the truth can be determined concerning a particular company, its assets and, 50- curittes, and the absolute facts can be placed in the hands of every prospective investor before he makes his Investment, I believe that such procedure will 80 a great way to sole the problem and the legitimate enterprise will not unduly suffer by the solution. "I have provided, in the measure introduced by me, a method whereby every concern soliciting investment funds must lay all its cards on the They must under penalty, acquaint every persol Ricited by them as an investor with the facts concerning the investment 88 such facts have been determined after full examination and investigation by a State commissioner. This method enables the people who are placing their money in any enterprise to do so with a full knowledge of the truth of its condition. It enables a business scheme to succeed or fail solely upon its own merit or lack of merit. LAW'S PROVISIONS.

sarSome law this of State this and character should is be neces- encouraged and welcomed by every concern doing a legitimate business. I feel that the plan as set forth in my. measure) comes near reaching the desired end. IC contains the following fundamental points: "It places by an entirely new method in the hands of each prospective buyer the absolute and confirmed truth regardon ing the enterprise, before the investment is made. "It exempts from the operation of the law, all so-called close corporations and like concerns.

Such companies in no way public and the public needs deal, protection insofar as they are concerned: "It' provides method whereby the commissioner shall verify and certify to existent facts concerning any particular company and its securities, so that the public will be fully acquainted with the actual facts before investing. "The act endows the commissioner with power to refuse an application where the plan or business scheme 1s manifestly unfair, unjust or inequitable not simply because an enterpriso might be termed speculative. "This act does not apply to corporations subject to the Jurisdiction of our State Railroad Commission, or the State banking department. "The act provides that the commisstoner receive an annual salary of $8000. I belleve such a commissioner should be at least an $8000 man, The fees provided for in the act makes the office self sustaining." There are now six blue-sky measures before the Senate judiciary committee, covering practically every phase of ima vestment.

There are also measures of similar character before the Assembly: judiciary committee and one of the hottest fights of the session will undoubtedly be waged before a bill is finally adopted, if indeed, the legislature succeeds in getting to that point before adjournment. The bills now in the Senate Judiciary committee are Senator Gates, Senator Hewitt, Senator Larkins, Senator Lyon and Senator Breed. KNIGHTS TO VISIT VALLEJO SUNDAY 3000.

The first of the new Empire touring cars arrived in Oakland yesterday at E. Peacock Auto Company, in the upper Broadway auto row. The new Empire, which is the model from the factory, is a most interesting car, according to Peacock, and will be one of the most popular makes of machines here this season.

0. C. McFarland, head of the Osen and McFarland Auto Company in San Francisco, coast distributor for the Mitchell, Empire and I. H. C.

delivery has just returned from the Empire factory, is very. enthusiastio over the "Little Aristocrat, as he calls it. He says: "The model '31' 5-passenger to touring car is a refined addition to the model $25' Empire touring car, and in my mind will prove to be one of the most popular cars this season. Whatever is new, better and larger in this latest arrival costs the buyer no more. The price of the Empire is not increased, in spite of the fact that the company has incorporated a score of refinements in the new chassis and has added new McFarland also visited the new Mitchell factory, and in speaking of what he saw there, says: are recelving a few cars right along and their arrival is increasing dally, but no ways nearly equal to the demand.

A couple of weeks ago we thought that by this time we would be getting them in. numbers to satisfy every one, but did not count on any foreseen conditions which have happened. No one was able to foresee the great floods the East. Although flood did not reach the Mitchell factory, it did, however, flood the factory where the selfstarters are made. They have a large number of cars ready for shipment, only awaiting the arrival of the equipment.

As soon as the factory that manufactures these is able to supply the Mitchell demands, the gars will be started GASOLINE VS. WHISKY. Municipal Investigation, because of au-. tomobile accidents, made recently In A Western city, disclosed the information that more accidents are caused by intoxicated drivers than from any other one source, not even excepting the catastrophles that take place on the much-dreaded grade crossing. The J.

I. Case Company, benefiting by this information, has passed a rule that the employes of this big company through the world must abstain from the use of any sort of intoxicating beverages while at the wheel of a Case car. The greatest argument today against the automobile is the risk run when drivor riding in one. But this not due to lack of construction in the automobile, or to its being more dangerous than the horse and buggy. In fact, there 1s less likelihood of an accident with motor car than with the animal, which often becomes uncontrollable at the sight a street car, railroad train or some other object.

But the automobile, placed in the hands of many people who do not know limits. becomes a weanon of destruc- tion. There seems to be in the nature of every human being a desire for speed. Everything moves to slowly, and when It comes to an automobile, as in few other instances, the question of speed is entirely up to the man at the wheel. There are few cars today built to travel less than 30 miles an hour, and very often the prospective purchaser demands that the machine that is to become his property ba able to do a mile a minute or better.

The Case Company 1 in investigating the of accidents that have taken pub to Case cars, find out that most of them are due to the excessive high speed 'on highways whtch do not permit traveling faster than 20 miles an hour with safety. The world-wide movement started by the Case Company to prevent automobile accidents will undoubtedly result in great good, and the less number of accidents that are reported the more favor the automobile will win in the estimation of the public. Another automobile concern adopted a motto which reads al follows: "No drink the day you drive." This will undoubtedly result in much good also. ALAMEDA COUNTY REGISTRATIONS. 10423--J.
