A Concern. Owned Chiefly In llonton, Not AUowchU to Do Business tn tlie State, Austin, Tex., July 22. Secretary of State Hardy to-day refused to grant a permit to tho Texas Planters' Company to do buslnoss In Texas. This company Is incorporated under the laws of West Virginia and has a capital stock, of $:100.000. The articles of Incorpora tion show that of tho 30,1)00 shares of stock H.'1 shares aro subscribed und owned bythlrty flvo Individual and Sil.KJIl shares are owned by the Planters' Compress Company of Iloston. In giving his reasons for refusing to grant a permit to this company Secretary ol State Hardy says, "The laws of Texas, as I construe them, op pose the formation of a corporation by other corporations, and the public policy of this Statu clearly fornids tho existence and opera tion of such corporstioiis in this State. I can not oonoelie that the Htateof Texas in provid ing for tlie creation of domestic corporations, and in providing fortho admission to tills State of foreign corporations. Intended to grsnt to foreign corporations rights and prhileges not grunted to hnrdoniestlc corporations or to pr mlt foreign corporations to operate In this State whose existence und formation In an other State are In clear contravention of tho principles on which she recognl'os the proper existence of a corporation, and on which, as n matter of policy, sho consent" to create corpo rations " This new rule will have a far reaching effect and will shut out many foreign corporations that otheiwlse would bring capllul into the Stale. It is expected that the Texas l'lantcis' Company will bring mandamus proceedings against Secretary of State Hntdy to compel him to grant it a permit to do business In Texas. The Toxus Planters Company Is one or the concerns that promotes the round bnle for the handling of cotton A tierce fight was wnged nn the round bale in tho stato legislature last winter on tho ground that It was a trust and would soon control every foaturo of the cotton trade, even to dictating the price for which tho farmer should sell his crop It Is asserted that Senator fames K denes of Arkansas.
