COMMISSIONS REPORT 10 Al.
vERsg TO PROPOSED
RAILROAD BILL.
Western Newspaper Union News ssrvies.

Nsstsrn Newspaper Union Nsws ssrvies.
Washington.-The Railroad securi.
ties Commission. headed by President
Arthur T. Hadley Of Yale, has report
Cd that 1t would be practically impos-
sfble -At this time to place issues Of
railroad securities under federal con-
troll.
The commission recommends that
enforced publicity for all railroad H.
nancing is the most effective weapon
against stock watering which the gov.
ernment has at its command.
Tho commissions report is distinct
u adverse to the legislation proposed
in the railroad bill.
President Taft, In transmitting the
report to Congress declared that he
heartily concurred in the recommends
tions.
The commission does not approve of
any unqualified proposition to prohibit
ownership OF stock Of one road by an.
other.
It recommends that whenever
group of men or companies has bought
. majority Of stock in a road, they
may be required to buy the minority
ct the same price.
The commission was created In 1910,
when the Senate refused to accept
House amendment to the pending rail
road bill, providing that all future Is
sues of stock and railroad securities
be placed under the control Of the In
terstate Commerce Commission. Many
Of the Senate Democrats opposed it a.
an invasion Of states rights. Presi-
dent Taft at the time told Republican
leaders the party was committed to
such a measure, but when It appeared
impossible to pass 1t, the President
agreed to have the clause eliminated,
with the understanding that COM
mission to study the subject would be
allowed. This was done and the COM
1910. Public hearings were held and
Chairman Hadley studied the prob
lem abroad.
The commissions principal conclu-
sions are:
That any attempt by Congress to
adopt the policy of federal regulation
to the exclusion of state regulation,
would be premature.
That for the present, state authori-
ties should make concerted effort to
harmonize existing requirements.
That Congress should prepare for
the future by giving consideration to
q federal incorporation act which
would permit interstate railroads to
exchange their state charters for ma
tional ones.
The commission takes the ground
that constitutional questions involving
the scope and extent OF federal au-
thority are unsettled and will remain
so for some time; and that while such
a condition exists, to superimpose fed
eral regulation upon state rsulation
would add to the conflicts and complex
ities, which in the public interest,
should rather be diminished than in
creased.

It would be very wrong to class the
English sparrow with the enemies Of men.
It is true it is the most common Of
birds and naturally would be killed oftener
than the rarer birds.
The English sparrow has not coloring
which is pleasing to the eye, 50 the people,
as general rule, think less Of it.
1t is estimated that if for twenty years
all sparrows born were to die Of nothing
except old age, there would be one sparrow

Curtis and Lieutenant Governor John
M. Mendinhall would not consent to
an unconditional pardon. Deputy
Attorney General Josiah O. Wolcott
opposed the liberation Of Goodwin, and
contended that in any event. II given
his freedom, it should be by COM
mutation of sentence or parole, and
not by unconditional pardon. Cover
nor Pennewill signed the recon-
mendation shortly after It came to
him, and Goodwin was released from
the New Castle County Workhouse
last night. There is some question
as to whether the pardon will restore
Godwin's citizenship, as the constitu-
tion provides disfranchisement for
ten years for conviction i'm such cases
and doubt exists as to whether the
Board Of Pardons could remove this
penalty of ten years disfranchise-
ment.
Harry P. Joslyn, attorney of viii
mington, represented Goodwin. and the
latter's release came as a reward 10
persistent fighting by Mr.. Joslyn foI
