train while Mr.. Rockefeller was en-
route from Augusta, Ga, TO Philadel-

Rockefeller Is quoted as saying
Il think that properties should be
capitalized at only their legitimate
value, an diff that were done there
would be such a feeling Of security
in thenf among the general public
that We would find men with little
money holding highly profitable stocks
instead of allowing 1t TO remain at
small interest in savings banks"
Mr.. Rockefeller, however. was una
BILE to suggest remedy for existing
cases of overcapitalization. He said,
in his argument 1t would be next to
impossible to reduce such capitaliza-
tions now without causing chaos. but
for the future, corporations he would
suggest conservatism.

the government would be beneficial,
Mr.. Rockefeller said
Il cannot say. 1t is my idea tnat
federal control would be a better thing
for the roads. They would then un-
aerstand the laws they must observe
and would be able to plan ahead dill
gently without one state demanding
ene thing and another state being
equally insistent on something entire
