quarters as the most important bill

year or more. He has conferred
with President Roosevelt about it and
it has the presidents approval as to
it's general plan. He has also con-
ferred with the interstate commerce
officials about it and got advice and
Dolliver does not expect the bill to
pass this session but he wants it dis
cussed and hopes that in the long
session one year hence it will be
passed.
He will discuss it in the senate al
/ ter the holidays.
Senator Dolliver said today that he
had discussed his plan as embodied
in this bill with Senator Allison some
months before the latter's death. Sen
ator Allison favored the idea. The bill
in brief proposes that no interstate
carrier, telephone or telegraph com
panies shall be allowed to put oui
future issues of stocks or bonds with
out the sanction of the interstate
commerce commission; otherwise
such issues will be void. Senator Dol
liver made this statement about :.
