GOVERNOR DAvIDSON'S MESSAGE

Issue of stocks and Bonds by Rail-
road Companies.
IT has long been the settled policy OF
this State that capitalization OF corpora
tions should be measured by actual in
yestment. A statute passed In 1914, and
which has since been in force, prohibits
the issue of any stock by corporation,
except in consideration of money or labor
or property, estimated at its true money
value actually received by it at the par
value thereof. or the issue of bonds at less
than 70 per cent of the par value, except
when such stocks or bonds have been list
ed on the stock exchange. sales may be
made at current prices. The purpose of
the statute is plain and is highly COM
mendable, but it is defective in that it
contains no provision for administrative
control over the subject. In a purely
private corporation, the only parties di-
rectly concerned in the issue of stock are
the stockholders and the creditors, if
there are any To the former the consid-
Grafton for which the stock is issued is a
matter of little consequence, if all pay at
the same rate and receive the same
amount in annual dividends
With respect TO public service corpo-
rations the situation is different as divi-
dends on the stock and interest on the
bonds must be paid out of the earnings
arising from the business, which is of a
public character. The management of
such corporations feels justified in fixing
rates which will yield sufficient sum to
pay the cost OF maintenance and opera
ton and other fixed charges, and also in
terest on bonded Indebtedness and rea-
sonable dividends upon the stock. This
basis for establishment of rates has re-
ceived the qualified approval of the fed
eral courts. The laws now in force are
not adequate to protect the public against
the increased capitalization of such cor
porations, which are, in most instances,
already capitalized to an extent far in ex-
cess of actual investment. Additional
securities are issued and loaded on the
property for which no actual benefit is
received. and for which interest and divi-

ness has increased 10 per cent and in
the same time railroad facilities have
been increased only from 81 to 40 per

President Hill points out several
remedies, all of them involving the ex-
penditure of billions of dollars, but he
says the money absolutely must be
spent. Here are some of his remedies:
Tn construction of $4,000 mics Of
additional trackage every year for the
next five years, at a cost of $1,100,000,-
600 year.
The construction of $4,000 miles of
ship canal from st. Louis to New Or
leans.
More points of export on the sea and
gulf coasts.
More interior markets.

dies to meet q SITUATION which has be-

response to widespread public de-
mand for an explanation why there is
so serious a shortage of cars at the
present time.

To the Honorable, the Legislature:
In obedience to the requirements of the
constitution and established precedent,
submit to you this message, showing the
condition of the State, and therein rec
ommend such matters FOR your considera-
ton as to me appear expedient.
Our State was never so prosperous as
it is at this time. Labor Is not only fully
employed at higher wages than it COM
manded in the past, but the demand for
labor OF all kinds has been greater than
the supply, and there is no indication that
this condition will continue. Our farm
ers, manufacturers and merchants fuily
share this prosperity. which appears 10
be universal throughout the nation.
Money is abundant and rates OF interest
ale low compared with preVallhS iales
of other years. Evidences OF coniIolC
and luxury are all about us ana yer, III
the midst of this great prosperity, there
is shirt of unrest which should engage
the attention and command the most seri-
ous consideration of statesmen and
thoughtful citizens.
In recent years this State has accom-
plished much in the way of bringing pub
Tic service corporations under State con-
troll and compelling them to give the
people better service at more reasonable
rates than before obtained. While the
advance made is in every way commend
able, the work along this line is far from
complete.
state Finances.
Never before in the history of the State
has its financial condition been so graft
flying. Every public fund shows most
satisfactory condition. Receipts have
grown far more rapidly than disburse-
ments, despite the increase due to the ne
lsrged administrative duties of the State,
leaving large balances at the opening of
the new fiscal year. The following table,
compiled from the reports of the Secre-
tary of State and State Treasurer, shows
the receipts, disbursements and balances
of each Of the important State funds for
the last biennial period, and also the total
for the State:
