Parent corporation
Stock ownership of a subsidiary corporation by a parent corporation, considered alone, does not destroy the legal separate identities of the parent and subsidiary corporation. But the separateness of corporate identity will be disregarded if the subsidiary's policies, functions and actions are so controlled by the parent as to make the subsidiary a mere agent or instrument of the parent. Whether parent and subsidiary corporations violate section 445.12(6), Stats., which prohibits an operator of a funeral establishment from being connected with a cemetery, depends upon facts relating to the legal separateness of the parent and subsidiary corporations. The facts related are insufficient to conclude whether section 445.12(6) is violated. 78-5
Physicians and surgeons
Restrictions on business corporations providing medical, legal and dental services discussed. 75-200
Political contributions
The prohibition against corporate political contributions and disbursements in sec. 11.38, Stats., is broad and probably would bar, in most cases, purchases of advertising by a corporation in a political party publication. But the bar is not absolute and violations must be determined on a case-by-case basis. 65-10
The statutory prohibition against political contributions and disbursements by corporations or cooperatives in support of opposition to any referendum to be submitted to the voters, set forth in sec. 11.38(1)(a)1., Stats., is unconstitutional. To the extent spending for that purpose is now allowable under sec. 11.38(1)(a)1., Stats., it is fully subject to the requirements and limitations otherwise set forth in ch. 11, Stats., including those requiring registration and filing. 67-211
Wisconsin Administrative Code section ElBd 1.06, and the forms developed to effectuate that rule, EB-11 and EB-12, which require corporations and associations to register and twice yearly report their expenditures for the establishment and administration of a political fund and for solicitation of political contributions to such fund, improperly impose substantive requirements in addition to those reasonably within the intendment of sec. 11.38(1)(a)2., Stats., and are therefore unenforceable. 67-193

Separate corporate entities
Stock ownership of a subsidiary corporation by a parent corporation, considered alone, does not destroy the legal separate identities of the parent and subsidiary corporation. But the separateness of corporate identity will be disregarded if the subsidiary's policies, functions and actions are so controlled by the parent as to make the subsidiary a mere agent or instrument of the parent. Whether parent and subsidiary corporations violate section 445.12(6), Stats., which prohibits an operator of a funeral establishment from being connected with a cemetery, depends upon facts relating to the legal separateness of the parent and subsidiary corporations. The facts related are insufficient to conclude whether section 445.12(6) is violated. 78-5
