FEDERAL CONTROL.
Rockefeller Denounces Over capitalization of Roads.
PUBLIC HAS LOST CONFIDENCE.
Government Rule Would Be Guaran. tee Against Great Speculative Manipulation of Trunk
 g Line Stocks.


 NEW YORK, March 21.-'I believe in federal control of the railroads. It would be the best thing for the roads.
 1.-Two of the greatest difficulties rail- roads have to deal with are increased cost of labor and varying state legis- lation.
 Under federal control the roads would understand the laws they must observe and would be able to plan ahead intelligently without one state suddenly demanding one thing and an other state being equally insistent on something entirely different"
 Returning from his southern trip, John D. Rockefeller expressed new views in regard to the railroad situa- tion and the attitude of railroad mag mates. He continued:
 Railroads and other big corpora tions are vastly oyercapitalized. That is not healthy situation. The general financial condition of the country is good on the surface, but there is an undercurrent of unrest.
 q think that properties should be capitalized at only their legitimate val ue, and if that were done there would be such feeling of security in them ! among the general public that we would find men with little money holding highly profitable stocks instead of allowing it to remain at small inter- est in savings banks. Without public confidence in our corporations of course ] that situation can be only dream. r For the future corporations would 1 suggest the conservative plan. If the property increases in value, let 1t in crease, and if the volume of business is great, let the original subscribers ! get the large dividends. Then if mon. ey is needed for the improvement of the plant the stockholders will be only too glad to advance it rather than al. low too many outsiders to get in on q highly profitable investment"
 l.. H. Hartman, shown Mir. Rocke feller's statement, said:
 ''The roads are not OvercapitaliZed for the country and its capabilities. IT counting your capitalization think oi the money that has gone into the abandoned lines, bridges and termi nals. They must be considered a part of the constructive cost. and when yor take that in you will find that you have not overcapitalized.
 ''There is federal control now. There are laws enough on the statute books now-morc than enough. All that i' necessary is to have them judiciousl. and wisely administered. We don need any more federal control.
 Railroad building or development and not competition must be the rul' of the future. and there probably will be an appreciable contraction in i'm provements in railroad properties ant consequently decrease in the cost O necessities of life.
 Any idea of standardizing American railways with English models is i'm possible. as the present stature an' wonderful growth of this country ar , due to the enthusiasm, the imagination and the speculative bent of a superbl , capable people,"

Do not fear a national government
that recognizes the entire people OF

Here is suggestion. The famous

build a public school house, $4,000
for system of water works, and So

These bonds have been on the mar

takers.
This indicates either that the as
sessed value of the village is not suf-

not legal, or that there is shortage
OF money in circulation sufficient to
do legitimate business, or that money

Alabama farm, as follows:
A man in Shelby county bought

house had been, but fairly good out
houses. He got it for $3.50. That was

and good fences and not a dollar has
been spent on it, that was not made

Much of the ready money comes from

doesn't want a government pamphlet

He couldn't be induced to kill his. 1t

DeFuncak Springs, Aug. H.
Editor Pensacola Journal:
1 have read with deep interest the
Hon. John s. Boards Precedent and
Law on Presidential Third Term" IN
last Sundays Journal.
He has given a mastery argument
against all third term aspirants. SO
far, l am entirely in accord with him,
but | do not think state rights is or
ought to be paramount issue.
There ought to be no disposition in
the south to renew that contest-as
to which is the greater power-the
state or the nation. Seek rather to
harmonic the two. They are both
ours. The doctrine of state rights
was invoked to save the institution
of slavery. The nation took issue,
and, right or wrang, the verdict is
that states are imrpotent to stop by
force what the nation determines to
do.
If General Lee with his magnifi-
cent army could not forcibly stop the
nation, is rs wise for Alabama to now
try and do SO? What the conflict of
opinion between Alabama-her state
cOurts-and the United States courts
is, is not material, provided the stale
of Alabama obeys the United States
supreme court, right or wrong. Ala
bama is justified n doing all within
her power peaceably to protect her
people.
Possibly the entire nation can be
persuaded (not driven) into the con-
clusion that Alabama is right, and
that this must be an educated mans

the national government will adhere
