RAILROAD SECURITIES AND THE
Pf BLiC.

The able report of the Railroad Sc
curties Commission. of which President
Hadey is chairman. will probably put
an end 10 the movement for the federal
regulation of railroad securities. The
commission was appointed because Con
gresS found so many difficulties I'm the
way of such regulation that IL hban-
doned the attempt until an investigation
should he made. The IIadley commits
sion finds the difficulties which con
fronted Congress To lie real. They are
constitutional. for it is doubtful what
authority Congress has 10 regulate the
issue of shares by state corporations.
And they are practical. for concurrent
regulation Of securities by federal and
hy state commissions would add 10 the
complexities already existing. The bur
den of such regulation. moreover. would
prove TOO great for the Interstate Com
merce Commission. while the creation Of
another federal commission would he
unwise and uneconomical
Moreover. the Hadey commission
holds that the regulation Of securities
issues. if it involves the requirement
that they shall not be issued below par,
would he disadvantageOuS 10 the rail
roads i'm obtaining capital and TO the
public depending upon them for the de
velopment Of the country. and all Of this
without compensating advantages. Upon
this subject the commission makes re-
mark the sanity Of which is typical Of
the whole report:
Tho real value Of the stock certificate
depends upon the manner I'm which the
money has been invested The com
mission is therefore OF the opinion that
II is far more important 10 ascertain
Just what are the facts connected with
the issue of securities and what is actu-
ally done with whatever money has i'm
fact been realized from the stock which
s. issued than merely to make sure that
the par value OF the stock was paid In
at the time Of issue.
That extract gives the keynote of the
whole report Those who have advo-
Gated the federal regulation Of securities
would put a stop to the stock watering
abuse and the deception Of investors by
2 requirement that the amount Of stock
should conform to the amount Of capital
paid in. The commission prefers 10 stop
II by furnishing all the facts to the pub
lie and trusting public opinion. The one
method would be rigid and leave little
discretion In the hands Of directors. 1t
