Mathews, J.
This appeal is from a decree dismissing a bill of complaint wherein appellants prayed for the appointment of a receiver for Union Savings & Loan Association, an Oregon corporation, which had been taken over and was being operated by the corporation commissioner of the state of Oregon. Appellants are members and shareholders of the association.
Section 52, c. 373, p. 768, Oregon Laws 1931, provides: “The directors of a savings and loan association may at any time call upon the corporation commissioner to take possession of and operate the properties and business of the association in the interests of its investors, creditors and shareholders and said corporation commissioner forthwith shall comply with such request by assigning the supervisor or bonded deputy from his department to such task.”
Pursuant to section 52, the directors of Union Savings & Loan Association called upon the commissioner to take possession of and operate the properties and business of the association in the interests of its investors, creditors and shareholders. The commissioner complied with their request and assigned a bonded deputy to such task on or about November 4, 1931.
