““a condition precedent to i;s recognition and legal existence (in the stale). Tt cannot, by virtue of its charter, exercise its functions beyond the territorial limits of the sovereignty which created it. It cannot transact business in other states or sovereignties without their consent expressed or implied. Any person who assumes to act for it must be considered as having knowledge of its powers and their limitations, and whether it has conformed to the rcqniremenls of ¡he jurisdiction in which ho proposes to represent it. If he does business for it here, in violation of the conditions prescribed, he commits an offense which is punishable by fine and imprisonment.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““These terms are not onerous or in conflict with any constitutional provision or rule of public policy. But they are clearly prohibitory, and they indelibly stamp as unlawful any business transaction within the state by a foreign corporation which has not complied with them. It is only by its observance of them that it can have a legal existence for business purposes within this jurisdiction, or acquire contractual rights which our courts will recognize.””
