credit for the valuable advice that
Mr. Fralick deserves
follows:
"Chapter 206, Idaho Compiled Sta
tutes, 1919, comonly known as the
"Blue Sky Law" is one of the most
beneficial laws on the statute books.
It provides that before offering any
stocks, bonds, or other securities lor
sale in this State, the corporation or
individual selling same must pro
cure a permit from the Department
of Finance of the State authorizing
such sale. In addition to this per
mit which is issued to the corpora
tion desiring to sell the securities,
each agent or salesman offering the
securities for sale must be licensed
by this Department. When an- ap -1
plication is received, the Depart-)
ment endeavors to investigate suen j
application as closely as possible. |
If There, is any reason to believe. |
that til;- securities which are to be
offered for -sale do not provide a
just and equitable plan of financ- i
lng, the application is refused. In j
this connection. I might, say that al- j
most fifty per cent of the appllca- j

HOME TOWN PAPER WEEK
It is very rare that the average newspaper boosts
its business, but gives quantities of space in boosting
the affairs of othci s.
Somebody suggested that it was time for the news
papers of the country to adopt a week in which their
own business should be given precedent, und the Re
publican thoroughly endorses the idea.
The date set is the second week in Novenibr, from
the 7th to the 12th, including that great world event.
Armistice Day.
The official title for the week will De "Subscribe
for Your Home Town Paper Week."
Thousands of Papers will Join in this event, and
our readers will hear more about it as time goes on.
Ever ready to help in any cause that is in the
Interests of a better community, better living condl
tions s and better government, we now ask the readers
and advertisers of the Clearwater Republican to turn

WILL APPEAL TO SUPREME
COURT
Since the failure of the Grange- j
ville Savings and Trust company at j
Urangeviile, the Bank of Stiles at j
this place and the Waterman string
of banks, affecting all of the other ,
Clearwater towns, the deposits or
public funds in these defunct Instt
tutions have been a moot question,
the officials of the villages, high
way districts and counties contend- j
I ing that these funds were a trust i
j and as such were entitled to prior
ity of payment over ordinary de
! posits. The state bank department,
however, contends that under the
law, the public funds take the same
i chance as individual deposits. This
:
at
! question was recently tried in Clear
j water county, and was decided in j
] favor of tlie plaintiff highway ills- i
trict. Ttie question will be carried *
to the supreme court by Commis
sioner Fralick and a decision will
be anxiously awaited. Should the
decision of the lower court he up
held there will he practically noth
ing left for the individual deposit
