ARE BECOMING HAMILTONIANs,
Secretary Shaw Tells Yale Men Trend Is
Toward Federal Supervision.

! New HAVEN, Dec. 15.-Leslie NJ. Shaw,
Secretary of the Treasury, spoke before
the Yale Law School Political Club to-
night on Evolution in Self Government
He was the guest Of the Union League
Club and the Iowa Club of Yale after de-
| livering his address
After tracing the development Of this
Government down to the civil war, Secre-
tary Shaw said:
II speak not in justification Of a policy,
but historically, when ] say that since tho
civil war the trend has been toward in
| creasing national supervision. The ma
| tional banking act, antitrust legislation
and railway supervision are instances Of
the trend.
Have we reached the limit? It would
seem not The demand for Federal su-
! pervision of corporations for insurance
control, for additional rate legislation, for
| Government inspection of foods, all look
in the same direction
Il cite the fact that the old State sover-
eighty party has now become the most
pronounced advocate of Federal superv-
sion. The people, are becoming Ham-
tonians very rapidly.
For one hundred years the American
people have dreamed Of an isthmian canal.
By universal politic ical consent and approval
we have now paid forty millions for the
privilege OF digging such canal. We pro-
pose to pay the further sum of 5000 900,
or whatever other sum may be necessary in
the construction of the canal; other millions
for maintenance and no end Of millions. If
need be, in its defence, and we are under
contract to grant the use of this inter
oceanic waterway when completed to all
peoples upon the same terms as to our
own.
"The American merchant marine ia
thing of the past, but let US hope also thing
Of the future. ! am convinced in some
way provision will he made for the reso-
ration of this important arm Of commerce.
While the mighty commercial countries
of the world are selling to each other ten
billion dollars worth we sell to each other
two and one half times that nconceivable
sum. We put this matchless product
upon our railroads and transport 1t to the
sea at one-third what the same service
costs elsewhere.
I'VE then l oed it into better and faster and
more convenient Coastwise ships than can
be found in other seas and carry it from
port to port at better rates than any. These
facilities l,!s the Ha waiiGn Isl nds, which

are ours; lus the Isthmian Canal, which
we are pledged to complete; rlus n mer-
chant marine. which it is our hounden duty
to provide. will give TO American enterprise
its proportionate share of the carrying
trade of the world and our matchless prod
ucts will be taken into all ports and the
United States will become the actual, as she
is the natural, mistress Of the largest of all
seas"

THE RATE MAKING POWER.
Pre- aident WILCOX OF the ID. & II. Opposes
Giving II 10 Interstate Commission.

ITHACA, N. Y. Dec. 15,-David Wilcox,
president OF the Delaware and Hudson
Railroad, delivered lecture on Federal
Regulation Of Railroad Rates" before a
large audience Of Cornell professors and
students tonight Mr.. Wilcox declared
that he was not opposed to the Interstate
Commerce Commission as a mediating
tribunal between railroads and shippers,
but he did oppose most emphatcally it's
assumption OF rate making powers, which
1t did not now have and never was Intended
to have.
He accused the commisson; not only OF
attempting TO regulate rates in cases COM
planned Of, but also Of desire to establish
rates for the entire country. The courts,
he said, will and have protected the ship
pers from excessively high rates and on the
other hand have saved the railroads from
confscatory low rates,
Between these two limits lies the range
of commercial opportunity in which the
railroads must be managed for success or
failure. This Is the range upon which the
Interstate Commerce Commission wishes
to be turned with omnipotent power.
Did you ever hear he said "of man
running his business upon principles OF
moral and social consideration and the
theory of social progress2 II you have
you must know that the road led TO bank
ruptcy Yet the commission in one Of it's
recent reports urged that rates be
fixed on Just this basis. Mr.. Knapp
says that the rates are made by nine
railroad presidents sitting around a
table. He would have them made by Mr.
Knapp and four colleagues sitting around
a table. But this Is all nonsense. The
rates are not made by any individual or set
OF individuals, but are a growth, an evo-
luton"
He said that out of 5000 complaints
growing out Of 5000. 600 600 freight trans
actions only one and a half cases out Of
thirty-four prosecuted by the commission
have been a rrned by the courts, and
these only because the railroads did not
appeal

he had done with the assistance of his
deputy, Mr.. James H, Stevenson. in revis-
ing the assessments 40 as to bring about
an equality Of assessments in all the bor-
oughs He said that every taxpayer in
BROOKLYN should be Interested in having
property assessed at its full value.

the Office OF Comptroller was we'll equipped
and that few changes were necessary.

toast given by the Rev. DR.. Lindsay Parker
and responded to by Mr.. Iittleton.
In the course of Mr.. Littletons speech
he appeared to refer to McCarren. He
said:
-Mr. Metz was nominated and elected
through the means of political organiza-
ton. He is a clearheaded man, who has
worked his way to the highest place, and
there is no man or withering political or
ganization that will ever bring him down"
