Court Rules Railroads May Issue Only Stock Under Existing Iowa Law
Iowa district court judge ruled Liberty Oil lacked power to increase capital to 40000 by issuing 7 percent preferred stock. The decision holds that ordinary corporations may issue preferred stock only if explicitly provided in articles or statutes, a power not clearly granted outside railroad cases. The ruling affects Nelle Wilson’s injunction and questions legality of preferred stock in general corporations.
