RESTRICTING CAPITALIZATION.
New York Now Has n Law which

From the New York Tribune.
The masters report i'm the gas rate suit
gave special point to the need of corpora
ton regulation. Two Of the provisions in
the utilities bill to which corporations
particularly objected were the prohibition
against capitalizing franchises and the
restriction Of capitalization. The mas
ter's report shows that the States negli-
gent policy in the past permitting the is
suance of stock without restriction, has
operated 70 increase the charge for public
services. The Springfield Republican
contrasts the situation in Massachusetts
with that in this State in respect to the
issuance Of securities Massachusetts, has
not allowed its gas companies to capitalize
their franchises. Hence such values are
excluded from calculations Of which rates
are based So. too of the increase in
property values. Massachusetts has not
permitted the capitalization of unearned
increments, and so the public service COM
panies of NJ Issachusetts cannot use an
unearned increment TO contest a public
order reducing rates. In general Massa-
chhsetts has applied the system embodied
in the utilities bill Of restricting the issu-
ance of stocks. 1t has worked there TO
the advantage Of the public, and the cor
poratiOns do not complain of any injury
to them. Il has limited the opportunities
of high finance, but honest business meth
DDS do not find the restrictions oppressive
Massachusetts, is fortunate in having ap-
piled years ago these principles which we
in New York are just incorporating into
our law with a striking object lesson as to
their utility.

When the French-Eversole feud was at

he heard the intended victims wife
