Opposes the Federal Control Of
Issues OF Stocks.
ENDORSED BY TAFT
A Federal Incorporation Act Is
Recommended.
Any New System of Supervision
Declared Undesirable.

Washington. Dec. 1.-THE railroad
securities commission. headed by
President Arthur T. 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-
mends that enforced publicity for all
railroad financing is the most effective
weapon against stock watering which
the government has at its command
A distinguished group of investiga-
tors was named by President Taft to
cooperate with Professor Hadley-
They We're Frederick \. Judson of St.
Louis; Frederick Strauss of New
York; Walter L. Fisher, secretary OF
the interior. and Balthasar H. Meyer,
a member of the interstate commerce
commission.
The commission was created in
1910, when the senate refused to ac-
cept a house amendment to the pend
ing railroad bill. providing that all flu
ture issues of stocks and railroad Sc
curities be placed under the control
of the Interstate commerce commits
sion. Many of the senate Democrats
opposed it as an invasion of states
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1911-12-11

that the cost of reproducing railroad
properties however carefully computed,
is the sole element to be considered in
determining the present value of a rail-
road, that the outstanding securities
should be made to conform to any arbi-
tray standard.
The commission believes that the
amount and face value of outstanding Sc
curities has only an indirect effect upon
the actual making of rates and that it
should have little if any weight in their
regulation.
any unqualified proposition to prohibit
ownership of stock of one road by an
other. To do so, the report says, would
involve too much disturbance of exist
ing relations whatever may be the evils
attendant upon such holdings. It is rec
commended, however, that wherever a
group of men or companies have bought
a majority of stock in a road they may
be properly required to buy the minority
al the same price.

charters for federal ones
port.
Does Not Seem just.

Until such exclusive jurisdiction can
be established, the creation of a sep
arate administrative body subjecting the
railroads to q new system of concur
rent supervision, in addition to the
many old ones which now exist does not
seem just, expedient or economical"
For the present. the commission
recommends that complete publicity
be required to surround all issues of
securities and that any interstate rail-
road issuing stocks and bonds be re-
quired to furnish to the Interstate
Commerce commission a full state
ment of the details of the issue, the
purposes for which the proceeds are
to be used, and an accounting for the
expenditures of such proceeds.
Accurate knowledge of the facts
surrounding the issue of securities, and
the expenditure of the proceeds is the
matter of most Importance the COM
mission says. 1T is the one thing
upon which the federal government
can effectively insist today; it is the
fundamental thing which serve as a
basis for whatever regulation may be
desirable in the future
IF fun publicity be given we shall
also lessen the fraudulent creation of
debt. 1t is t he degree of publicity
rather than the stringency of the law
which gives to the people any real pro-
lection. A stringent law inadequately
enforced and secretly evaded is the
worst thing that can be possibly of
fered to the public, because it gives
color to claims which have no foun-
dalton in fact"

BELIEVES IN CURFEW
Attorney General Dawson Also Tells
of Evils of Truancy.

Attorney General Dawson. in recent
public speech, declared that he would
urge the next legislature to pass more
strict laws regarding playing truant
from school and keeping the curfew
He believes that more boys and girls
go wrong from these two derelletions
than from any other one cause MI
Dawson said:
practically all the men and women
who inhabit the underworld OF the
larger Kansas cities, like Topeka, Wich-
tia Kansas City, Kan, LeaVenWOrth,
Pittsburg and Atchison, trace their
downfall TO the days when they played
hockey from school or lOafed about the
streets at night said Mr. Dawson
playing hockey is the first step in the
road to destruction.
1T is the truant boy of ten years ago
who is the criminal, the thief the boot
logger, the burglar and the desperado
that we have to deal with today In
ards can trace their fall to the days
they played hockey from school and
went down on the river bank, went
swimming, played marbles for keeps
or shot craps for pennies.
For many years 1 chung chlValrously
to the LEA that girls were naturally
better than boys, but since L nave been
working in theooze and slime OF the
underworld I have changed my mind
The girls are just Is bad as the boys,
and investigation shows that the girls
PLAY ed hockey some, but their doWnfall
IS due chiefly to the failure of the
mothers to keep them at home in the
evenings. They were out on the streets
and played with the boys who played
hockey from school that afternoon ana
were not punished for it.
THE parents ought to be more careful
and more strict. Since they are not,
the state ought to take a more guiding
and protecting hand. Children belong to
the state as much as to the parents The
future citizenship of the state depends
on these children. The state ought to
make more severe truancy and delin-
ouency laws and then punish the faith
ers and mothers as well as the boys and
iris for the DELINQUENCY of the children.
Bnt don't forget. while looking out for
the boys, look just as closely to the
welfare of the girls"

Physical valuation.

In determining the physical value
of railroads in relation to their securi-
ties now outstanding, the commission
puts aside as entirely out of the ques-
ton any attempt to scale down out
standing securities on the ground that
constitutional difficulties. public ex-
pediency and confidence in American
railroad investments would forbid it.
The commission feels that railroad de-
velopment has gone so far ana such q
volume of securities has already been is
sued that the only questions of real inn
pOrtance are whether it is desirable for
the federal government to regulate the
issue of future securities. and. if SO, 10
what extent and in what manner. Tbs
complex relations among securities al
ready outstanding has made it impossi-
bic to treat the question of future regu-
lation as it might have been treated if
those securities were not already in ex-
istence
In cases where it is found that the is
sued securities exceed the physical valua-
ton. the commission is not in favor of
forbidding further issue until the
deficiency is made up, because the prin-
ciple If generally applied, might prevent
railroads from securing capital necessary
for the service of q community.

Bedford, Ia, Dec. 11.-About midnight
a little more than twenty-four hours be
fore the battleship Maine was blown UP
in Havana harbor, February IS, 1885, A. G.
Brlce of this city, then consul at Matan-
zas, was warned the vessel was to be
destroyed, he says. United States officers
in Havana would not credit his story, he
asserts.
Upon returning to the United States Mr..
Brice told the story TO President Nc
Kinley and upon his request the informa-
ton has been withheld until now. Since
the report Of the naval board has been
given out the former consul feels at lib

Adverse to Proposed Legislation.
The commissions report is distinct
" adverse to the legislation proposed
IN the railroad bill.
President Taft in transmitting the
report TO congress today, declared that
he heartily cOncurred in the recon-
mendations.
The commissions principal conclu-
sions are:
That any attempt by congress to
adopt the policy of federal regulation
70 Ihe exclusion of state regulation
would be premature
mat for the present, state authori-
ties should make d concerted effort to
narmonlze existing requirements
That congress should prepare for the
future by giving consideration to a fed
eral incorporation act which would per
mt interstate railroads to exchange
their state charters for national ones
The commission takes the ground
that constitutional questions involvins
the scope and extent OF federal authori-
ty are unsettled and will remain so for
sometime; and that while such a con-
dition exists, to superimposc federal
regulation upon state regulation would
add to the conflicts and complexities,
which in the public interest. should rath-
er be diminished than increased
Unless the constitutional power of
congress to regulate securities of inter
state railroads is definitely established
as being exclusive of state control;
either the federal government and the
states will come to a general under
standing as to the principles to be
adopted in the control of security is
sues, or the railroad systems will be
given the opportunity to exchange their
state charters for federal ones" says
the report.
