STOCK WATERING
TO Be PREVENTED
SENATOR DOLLlVE7 OFFERS
BILL TO REGULATE INTER.
STATE CORPORATIONS.
ADMINISTRATIONS VIEW
Reflected in Masure Drawn on
Theory There Should Be Rea-
sonab.e Relations of Assets
and Liabilities.

Washington, Dec "a far reach.
ing bill for the regulation of future
issues Of securities by transportation
companies and telephone and tele-
graph companies engaged in interstate
commerce was introduced in the sen.
ate today by Dolliyer one Of the au-
thors Of the railroad rate law
II Is said the measure represents
the administration view Of the sub,
iect on which II il proposed 10 legis
late. Dolliver thinks these securities
should be subject TO the scrutiny o.
the government, and says the meas
ure is drawn on the theory that these
corporations should be so organized
that there should be some just and
reasonable relation between their as
sets and liabilities
II is intended to prevent future
over capitalization, stock watering,
bond manipulation and all similar
abuses, which in times past have
brought more or less disrepute upon
the management of railroad proper
ties, The effect viii be to give sta
bility to the existing volume OF rail-
way securities and at the same time
to SO guard future issues as to give
normal values to stocks and bonds.
After defining the standard of legal
ity of stock and bond issues, the bill
requires corporations subject to 1t,

HOUSE PASSES
A CENSUS BILL
AFTER DISCUSSION OF FIVE
HOURS--DEBATE WAS LONG
AND ANIMATED.
352 BILLS IN SENATE
Chiefly For Granting Pens ons--
Senator Johneton Offers Reso-
ton For Reinstatement
OF Expelled Cadets.

Washington, Dec 9.-The sessicr
of the senate today was chiefly de
voted to the formal presentation o
departmental reports and in the in
PRODUCTION of bills. The reports have
been made public from time to time
and the bills to the number OF 3D.
were chiefly for granting pensions.
Senator Johnston, Of Alabama, in
trodrced a bill to reinstate former
Cadets Russell and Weaver. dismissed
from the military academy for haz-
ing He declared that their punish
ment was excessive and said that
every rev senator was hazen by
being given unimportant assignments
and being restricted in his privileges.
He did not wish to have the idea go
forth that boy s'mothers have to
look after them after they enter the
military academy
After a brief executive session,
the senat at 1922 adjourned
In The House.
For nearly five hours today the
house considered a bill providing for
the taking of the 18th and subse-
quent decennial censuses, and passed
it without material change. From
the very outset of the debate it be-
came evident that the progress Of
the measure toward passage would
be impeded by numerous amend
ments and by the arguments which
they developed,
Prolonged animated. and. at
times, heated discussion was pre-
cipitated over amendment by Mr..
Gillette. of Massachusetts who
sought to have temporary census
force authorized by the bill with the
exception of few minor positions,
appointed upon the basis of COM
petitive instead of non-competitiye
examinations.
AT 4;55 p. m. the house adjourned,
For Postal Revision.
1t was stated today that a bill pre-
pared by the postal ravisin commits
sion will be ready for presentation
to congress next week ami that no
other postal measure will be before
the house when the revision bill is
under consideration. 1t is probable, !
therefore. that the postoffice appro- !
priation bill will not be reported un-
iii after the holidays The appropria- !
tioE bill, when reported, probably !

A bill proyinding for the establish |
ment OF a tariff commission of seven
members to fix rates of duties on /
all imports was introduced in the /
horse today by Fowler of New Jer-
sey. 1t provides that congress shall |
fix maximum and minimum tariff |
schedules and rates which the COM
mission would fix would be within
the limits. The commission would
be required to investigate all ques-
ton sof federal taxation affecting
imports and foreign trade. to collect
information with regard to manu-
facturers and commerce. and to
recommend reciprocal trade treaties.
Each member of the commission
would be selected to serve term
of fourteen years.

education; was President of the Nat
ional Association of State Universities.
and President Of the National Baptist
Congress-to name only a few of the
honors that have come to him.
1t is well nigh impossible to speak
briefly OF his great work in building up
the University of Missouri and do JUS
tice to the subject. During the seven
teen years of his administration the
growth and progress of the University
has been without parallel in the his
tory of education throughout the country.
From report of the Dean of the Col
lege of Arts and Science we learn that
during President Jesse's administration
the endowment has been doubled, and
the annual income for all purposes has
increased, in round numbers, from $l22,
900 to S644, 900, more than FIVE fold The
Faculty has increased from 40 to 1873,
representing the leading Universities of
America and Europe. The enrolment
OF students has grown from 500 to $500;
the number of graduate students from
z to III, representing the leading col
leges and universities of the Missis-
sippi Valley. The standard of admis-
sion has been raised from time to time:
the course in law has been raised from
z TO 3 years, that in medicine from 2 to
years. The expansion of depart
ments already existing may be illustrat-
ed by one example out of many: the De-
partment of Engineering has expanded
from asingle chair of civil engineering
until 1T now embodies also a chair
of electrical engineering, one of
mechanical engineering. one of expert
mental engineering, one of Topographic
cal engineering, one of railway engi-
neering, one of bridge engineering, one
of mechanics and mechanical drawing.
One of 1.-THE most fruitful efforts of
the present administration has been
the growth and advancement of secon.
Diary education in the state. The num-
Der of high schools, approved and
accredited. has increased from half-a-
dozen to $50, and the standard of schools
has been raised throughout the State.
And. lastly, the present administra-
ton has witnessed the remarkable
growth of the University in freedom
from the influence of partisan politics,
sectarianism, and local Interests towards
broad cosmopolitanism, in harmony
with the spirit of the age.
The one man who has been instru-
mental in the accomplishment of these
splendid results is the distinguished
educator whose portrait we now present
TO the people of Lancaster, to be hung
upon the walls of our courthouse, where
it may continue to be, through all the
years, an example and inspiration to
the young men of our county and of our
State.
