WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. "a
far-reaching bill for the regulation
of The future issues OF securities zy
the transportation companies and
telegraph and telephone companies
engaged In interstate commerce was
introduced in the Senate today by
Dolliver, one of the authors of the
railroad rate lays. 1t Is said the
measure represents the Administra-
ton view. He explained the provi-
sions of the bill as follows:
THE measure is designed to sub
ject the future issues of stocks and
bonds by transportation companies,
telephone and telegraph companies
engaged In interstate commerce to
the scrutiny of the Government of the
United States. II is drawn on the
theory .nat these corporations should
be 50 organized that there should be
Just and equitable relations between
their assets and their liabilities. IL
is intended to prevent overcapitali-
zation, stock watering, bond manipu-
lation, and all similar abuses. The
effect of II would be to give stability
to the existing volume of railway Sc
curities and at the same time to so
guard future issues as to give normal
values to stocks and bonds.
THE bill is applicable to all cor
pOrat ions which arc subiect In exist :
