<table>
<tbody>
<tr>

<p>The follwoing remarks, except as hereinafter mentioned, apply to join stock companies, whether they are incorporated under the Dominion of Ontario Joint Stock Company Act.</p>
<p>A Joint stock company is a partnership consisting of a large number of persons incorporated under some statute with the object of carrying on some specified purpose or business, and having a capital divided into equal shares which are transferable by the respective holders thereof without the consent of the other share-holders.</p>
<p>One or more shares are held by each shareholder, and in proportion to the shares held by him he is entitled to vote at meetings of the company, and to participate in the profits of the company.</p>
<p>There are two kinds of shares or stock, viz., common and preferred or preference.</p>
<p>By common shares or stock is meant stock which entitles the owner of it to a pro rata division of profits.</p>
<p>By preferred or preferenes stock is meant stock which entitles its owner to dividends out of the net profins before or in preference to the holders of the common stock, and which may in addition entitle its owner, in the event of the winding up of the company, and if Shere is any capital to be returned to the shareholders, to have the amount paid in on his shares returned to him before the common umon stockholder receives the amount paid in by him.</p>
<p>Cumulative preference stock is preference stock which entities the holder thereof to have any deficiency of dividends in any year made good to him out of the profits of subsequent years.</p>
<p>Non-cumulative preference stock does not give the holder thereof this right, so that the holder of such stock can only look to the year's profita for his dividend for that particular year.</p>
<p>Preferred stock redeemable by the company is pret erence stock issued by a compsay by a company which has the right to buy hack that stock at any stipulated time.</p>
<p>Shareholders of preference stock possess all the rights and are subject to all the liabilities of other share holders their only privilege is their preference over the other shareholders with respect to dividends and capital</p>
<p>A joint stock company is known in law as a corpor ation aggregate. The members of the company and their successors form hut one person in law, a person different from that of any of the members, though composed of them.</p>
<p>Each shareholder is responsible for the debts of the company to an amount equal to that not pald up on his shares; so that, in case of the insolvency of the com pany, he stands to low the amount paid in by him, and in addition he may be called upon to pay the amount still unpaid on his shares.</p>
<p>Under The Ontario Joint Stock Company Act (which applies to companies incorporated under that act), no person holding stock in the company as an executor, administrator, guardian or trustee, is personally Habile as a shareholder; but the estate and funds in his hands of the party represented by him is liable.</p>
The Dominion Joint Stock Company Act (which applies to companies incorporated under that act), is somewhat similar, and provides that no person holding stock in</td>
<td>
<p>executor, etc., represents the stock held by him at all meetings, and can vote as a shareholder.

Xenophon.
Two boys are born to Darius and Parysatis the elder Artaxerxes, the younger Cyrus. Now when
Darius fell sick and saw his end was coming he wished his two sons to be with him. The elder was
present at the time but he sent for Cyrus from the province over which he had made him governor.
And he made him general over all the troops which meet in the plain of the Castolus. Cyrus
therefore went up taking Tissaphernes as his friend. And he went up taking three hundred heavy
armed Greeks and Xenias a Parrhasian their commander. And when Darius was dead and
Artaxerxes had settled the kingdom Tissaphernes accuses Cyrus of plotting against his brother. And
he is persuaded and apprehends Cyrus as if to kill him. But his mother begs him off, and sends him
back to his government. And he having incurred danger and having been dishonored, consults how
he will be no longer in the power of his brother & if he is able he will reign instead of this man. But
Parysatis his mother favored Cyrus loving him better than the reigning Artaxerxes. And whoever of
those came to him from the king he sent away disposing them so as to be friendly rather to him than
to the king. And those barbarians that were about him he had regard that they might be fit to fight
and be well disposed towards him. But his Greek force he collected as seceretly as possible in
order that he might take the king unprepared. In this way he made a levy. Whatever garrisons he
had in towns he commanded their leaders each to get Peloponnesian men as many as they could
and the best as Tissaphernes was plotting against the towns. For the Ionian cities belonged to
Tissaphernes having been given to him by the king. But at this time all had gone over to Cyrus but
Miletus. But Tissaphernes having already perceived that they were meditating all these things in
Miletus (viz) to revolt so Cyrus slew some of them and banished others. Cyrus having harbored the
�fugitives and having collected an army besieged Miletus by land and by sea and tried to restore
those banished. And this was another pretext for him to assemble an army. And sending to the king
he claimed that the cities should be given to him, he being his brother, rather than to Tissaphernes
should rule over them. And his mother agreed with him in these things. Wherefore the king did not
perceive the plot against himself but thought that he was spending money upon troops as being at
war with Tissaphernes, so that he was nothing troubled since they were at war. For indeed Cyrus
used to remit to the king the actual tribute from the cities which Tissaphernes had possessed And
there was another army being collected for him in the Chersonesus opposite Abydos in this manner.
Clearchus a Lacaedaemonian was an exile. With this man Cyrus having fallen in with was both
struck with admiration for him and gives him ten thousand daries And he having taken the gold
collected an army with this money and rallying forth from the Chersonesus warred with the Thracians
who live above the Hellespont and assisted the Greeks wherefore the Hellespontic towns
contributed money for him for the subsistence of his soldiers. And thus this again was an army
being secretly supported for him. Aristippus too the Thessalian, was his guest friend and he being
pressed by the opposite party at home comes to Cyrus and begs from him as many as two thousand
mercenaries and three months pay as that so he would overcome the opposing party. But Cyrus
gives him as many as four thousand and six months pay and entreated him not to end the war
against his adversaries before he shall have consulted him. And thus again the corps in Thessaly
was being secretly supported for him Proxenus the Boeotian also who was his guest friend he
ordered to procure as many men as he could & to join him as he wished to undertake and expedition
against the Pisidians for that the Pisidians gave him trouble on his own ground. And he ordered
Sophaenetus the Stymphalian and Socrates the Achaean, these also being his guest friends to
come having procured as many men as possible for that he was going to make war upon
Tissaphernes with the Milesian exiles. And this they did.
II
But when he had already determined to march up he made it a pretext indeed that he wished to
banish the Pisidians wholly out of the country and he collects the Graecian and Barbarian troops as
if against these. taking his and he summons Clearchus to come to him taking his forces as many as
he had. And he commands Aristippus to send the army which he had to him making peace with
those at home. And he commands Xenia the Arcadian who commanded the mercenary troops in
the towns for him, to take as many as he could except sufficent to garison the citadels

<h3><span class="mw-headline">Xenophon.</span></h3>
<p>Two boys are born to Darius and Parysatis the elder Artaxerxes, the younger Cyrus. Now when Darius fell sick and saw his end was coming he wished his two sons to be with him. The elder was present at the time but he sent for Cyrus from the province over which he had made him governor. And he made him general over all the troops which meet in the plain of the Castolus. Cyrus therefore went up taking Tissaphernes as his friend. And he went up taking three hundred heavy armed Greeks and Xenias a Parrhasian their commander. And when Darius was dead and Artaxerxes had settled the kingdom Tissaphernes accuses Cyrus of plotting against his brother. And he is persuaded and apprehends Cyrus as if to kill him. But his mother</p>
<p>{facing page}</p>
<p>begs him off, and sends him back to his government. And he having incurred danger and having been dishonored, consults how he will be no longer in the power of his brother & if he is able he will reign instead of this man. But Parysatis his mother favored Cyrus loving him better than the reigning Artaxerxes. And whoever of those came to him from the king he sent away disposing them so as to be friendly rather to him than to the king. And those barbarians that were about him he had regard that they might be fit to fight and be well disposed towards him. But his Greek force he collected as secretly as possible in order that he might take the king unprepared. In this way he made a levy. Whatever garrisons he had in towns he commanded their leaders each to get Peloponnesian men</p>
</div>
<div class="mw-parser-output">
<p>as many as they could and the best as Tissaphernes was plotting against the towns. For the Ionian cities belonged to Tissaphernes having been given to him by the king. But at this time all had gone over to Cyrus but Miletus. But Tissaphernes having already perceived that they were meditating all these things in Miletus (viz) to revolt so Cyrus slew some of them and banished others. Cyrus having harbored the fugitives and having collected an army besieged Miletus by land and by sea and tried to restore those banished. And this was another pretext for him to assemble an army. And sending to the king he claimed that the cities should be given to him, he being his brother, rather than to Tissaphernes should rule over them. And his mother</p>
<p>{facing page}</p>
<p>agreed with him in these things. Wherefore the king did not perceive the plot against himself but thought that he was spending money upon troops as being at war with Tissaphernes, so that he was nothing troubled since they were at war. For indeed Cyrus used to remit to the king the actual tribute from the cities which Tissaphernes had possessed And there was another army being collected for him in the Chersonesus opposite Abydos in this manner. Clearchus a Lacaedaemonian was an exile. With this man Cyrus having fallen in with was both struck with admiration for him and gives him ten thousand daries And he having taken the gold collected an army with this money and rallying forth from the Chersonesus warred with the Thracians who live</p>

<p>above the Hellespont and assisted the Greeks wherefore the Hellespontic towns contributed money for him for the subsistence of his soldiers. And thus this again was an army being secretly supported for him. Aristippus too the Thessalian, was his guest friend and he being pressed by the opposite party at home comes to Cyrus and begs from him as many as two thousand mercenaries and three months pay as that so he would overcome the opposing party. But Cyrus gives him as many as four thousand, and six months pay and entreated him not to end the war against his adversaries before he shall have consulted him. And thus again the corps in Thessaly was being secretly supported for him Proxenus the Boeotian also who was</p>

<p>his guest friend he ordered to procure as many men as he could & to join him as he wished to undertake and expedition against the Pisidians for that the Pisidians gave him trouble on his own ground. And he ordered Sophaenetus the Stymphalian and Socrates the Achaean these also being his guest friends to come having procured as many men as possible for that he was going to make war upon Tissaphernes with the Milesian exiles. And this they did.</p>

<p>But when he had already determined to march up he made it a pretext indeed that he wished to banish the Pisidians wholly out of the country and he collects the Graecian and Barbarian troops as if against these. taking his</p>
