(Continued from First Page.) produced no return It is broadly not true that the great railroad systems of Pennsylvania are overcapitalized, It is not true that their capital stock or securities have been watered, It is true that the actual value of their properties is in excess of the book val nations. I speak authoritatively for the Reading system.
 Each year heavy expenditures must be made to meet public requirements from which no substantial increase of revenue is obtainable. The abolition of grade crossings, elevation of tracks, new terminals in cities, at enormous cost, are examples. How can the rail- roads go on making these heavy ex- penditures, increasing their expenses by higher cost of wages, materials and supplies and taxes, and at the same time decrease passenger and freight rates?
 The national government (apparent- ly on the assumption that the power to regulate commerce gives a wholesale power to regulate the business of the country) has given the interstate com- merce commission large powers over transportation. Time and experience alone can clearly demonstrate the eff feet of what it may do on the trans~ poration and general business of the country. It will simply be nlischievous legislation for Pennsylvania to create a similar commission. It.is not needed, and it will serve no useful purpose"
 President Baer concludes plea against further taxation by this refer ence to the much-talked-of Pennsylva mia state capitol.
 Notwithstanding the extraordinary, and, some good citizens think, extrava- gant. sums expended in the construc- tion of the new capitol, there is a con- siderable balance in the state treasury. This demonstrates that the present tax laws produce more revenue than is re- quired from a government honestly and economically administered"

 Luzzati proposes that the treasurers and the leading banks of the world be represented. and that the delegates examine the status of banks of issue and reform them.
