Continued from Page Five) caused by those in control of many cor porations, in an abuse of their powers and in excessive capitalization, and by so-called "frenzied finance,' until our legislatures are takin gthe matter up, and endeavoring to enact laws to re- strict them in every possible way, so that there is danger that we may have ''frenzied legislation" as well as ''fren- zied finance" Confidence is the foun- dation stone of all business prosperity, and the loss of 1t tends to destruction Rightly or wrongly, public confidence is easily shaken.

The complex and vary ing business operations of the country are so interwoven one with another that prosperity or failure of one is to a large extent the prosperity or failure of all. The matter is attracting the att tention of the Boards of Trade through out the country, and I think it is the duty of this chamber to use it's irf1u- ence for not only sound and conserva- tive management of corporations, but also for sound and conservative legisla- ton, so that confidence will be main- tained and capital freely used for the development of all our interests.
 It is impossible for me to refer to all matters that have been or may come before us for our consideration, but I trust that we will continue to cul tivate democratic spirit and use our best efforts for the growth and develop ment of our city.
