SLUE SKY LEWS
HALTED THE GROWTH
OP WESTERN SMS
When sane legislation for the
formation and financing of cor
porations is presented, the mining
industry will support it. When
laws are sought that will facili
tate honest financing, but control
the unscrupulous and destructive
inflation of privately-owned stocks,
the mining industry will gladly
subject itself to regulations that
play no favorites.
Laws that interfere with origin
al financing but permit stock ma
nipulators to continue their gigan
tic robberies can have but one ef
fect—they will stifle individual ini
tiative, retard Western progress
and place ever growing power in
the hands of plutocrats who use
it only for their selfish advan
tage.
Blue-sky conspirators halted the
growth of the West, turned public
funds into the hands of Wall
Street, and created the frenzied
stock inflation that brought about
the panic of 1929 and the result
ing hard times. And still they
are not satisfied.
Just as surely as night follows
day—if more blue-sky restrictions
are placed on legitimate business,
another will result. And with
the world in its present unsettled
state, a recurrance of the present
unemployment crisis will lead this
country to the verge of bolshe
vism.
The man who seeks new blue
sky laws is a greater menace to
America than the anarchist on
the street-corner — for he helps.

willing listeners to the radical
doctrines and that will, unless
remedied, turn this country into
a socialist soviet.—Mining Truth.

Genuine "BULL” DURHAM Tobacco at 5^ marked the entrance of my father,
Percival S. Hill, into the Tobacco business. For 14 years he was President of The
American Tobacco Company. The fine quality and popularity of "BULL” DURHAM
were always subjects of great pride to him. Therefore, it is particularly gratifying to
us to offer this important saving and service to the American
public at this time.
