If so, what is the use of advocating

Speaks Of Control Of Rail-

AND GIVES HIS REASONS
Long Looked for Report on
Government Management
of Stock Issues Has Been
Filed by the Hadley Com
mission.

WASHINGTON Dec. 12.-The rail-
road securities commission. headed by
President Arthur 7. Hadley. of Yale
has reported that it would be practi-
cally impossible at this time to place
issues of railroad securities under fed
eral control. The commission recon-
Inends that enfOrsed publicity for all
railroad financing is the most effec-
tive weapon against stock watering
which the government has at its COM
Oand.
The commission was created in 1910.
when the pending senate refused to ac-
cept a house amendment to the pend
ing railroad bill, providing that all flu
tUre issues of stocks railroad securi-
ties be placed under the control of the
Interstate commerce commission. Many
of the senate democrats opposed it IS
an invasion of states rights Presi-
dent Taft at the time told republic
leaders the party was committed II
such a measure. but when it appeared
impossible to pass it, the president
agreed TO have the clause eliminated.
with the understanding that a COM
mission to study the subject would be
allowed. This was done and the COM
mission began work in the autumn of

was 52,09S, and Methoiists North have
now a Sunday school strength. offic-
srs. teachers and scholars. of 1886, 936
This Sunday school enrolment, larger
by nearly 100000 than the church
membership, is believed to be the
highest proportion of any of the large
religious bodies. With very few ex-
ccptions, churches have larger MEM
berships than Sunday school enroll
ment, in the case of the Episcopal
church nearly twice as large.
