J ALTY SUITS
TO ENFORCE
REGULATIONS
AUSTIN. Texas, March 26 (by As
sociated Press).—It is becoming ap
parent, according to a statement is
sued by the Texas Railroad Commis
sion, that despite its efforts to avoid
it, the commission “will be driven to
the necessity of directing penalty
suits in a few cases to secure ob
servance of its oil and gas conserva
tion regulations.” The statement
continued:
“As the offenders are in most cases
(Pj^int stock associations or common
law trusts, we feel we would be lack
ing in candor if we did not warn
trustees and stockholders in such con
cerns of their individual and person
al liability for the failure of such con
cerns to obey the law. Whatever
opinion may be held as to the power
of a group of individuals to agree ,
among themselves to limit their lia
bility or contracts without statutory
authority, there is not the slightest
doubt that they cannot contract them
selves out of liability to the state for
penalties due for infracions of the
law.
“When the Railroad Commission di
rects that penalty suits be brought
against joint stock associations for
ignoring the conservation statute it
will be compelled to make the indi
viduals composing the company, and
^;ot the company, defendants; because
the company has no corporate exis
tence^
•« “Tne conservation statute author
izes the recovery of penalties up to
$5,000 for each infraction of the law.
and each day may be made a sep
arate offense.’

of broom corn from Venice, Italy. In
terception of the corn, experts said,
prevented further spread of the pest,

WE ARE THE LARGEST DEALERS IN RAW AND MANUFACTURED
FURS IN THE NORTHWEST, and all we ask of you, Mr. Shipper, is to give
us the chance of a trial shipment and we will convince you that we pay more
for furs and make quicker returns than you can get anywhere in the country.
We have been in business in Alaska for 36 years and have built up a very
extensive trade. We sell manufactured furs in all parts of the United States,
Canada, and in a great many European cities.
By shipping to us you are not only helping an Alaska industry but you are
helping yourself to build up a business that belongs to Alaska.
We eliminate the middleman entirely, as we buy direct from the trapper and
trader and sell direct to the consumer; thus we are able to pay you a better'
price than you can get elsewhere. WE MAKE RETURNS THE SAME DAY
SHIPMENT IS RECEIVED.
If so desired, when your shipment amounts to $100 or more, we will wire our
bid, and if not entirely satisfactory you may wire at our expense and we will
ship to any place you designate.
All we ask of you is to be fair with yourself as well as with us, and make us
a trial shipment; the result will make you a steady shipper.
