the Panama canal act which would ex-
clude railroad -owned ships from the

ton in a rivers and harbors bill FOR
$40. 900 federal improvement Of Fore
River. .fg

plete with Instances in which she has
firmly and vigorously refused to yield
her inalienable rights"
Mr.. Kahn insisted that. II the tolls
exemption provision was repealed, 1t
would result in additionat demands up
on the United States by foreign ma
tions.
"'There shall be no fortification OF
the canal will undoubtedly be the
next demand" he said. 1T will be
contended that the senate, having
voted down an amendment to the Hay
Pauncefote treaty providing for forti-
fications. the action Of our government
in constructing Notifications at either
end Of the canal is in violation OF the
principles Of naturalization as con-
templated by the treaty. and must be

IA TOILETTE IN NEW ROLE.
Senator Out in Opposition TO Federal
Regulation Of Stocks and Bonds.

Senator Out in Opposition TO Federal
REGULATION Of Stocks and Bonds.
Especial Correspondence
washington, March 1S.-Opposition
to LEGISLATION for the government regu-
lation Of stocks and bonds OF railways
will be voiced in the senate by Senator
La Toilette If the subject reaches that
body this session, as 1t is expected TO.
Hitherto, opposition to such regula-
ton has generally proceeded from con-
seryatiyes and reactionaries In con-
gress, who object to any new held OF
activity fer the federal government
when It comes to control over the rail-
roads or private enterprises.
But the objection Of Senator LaFol-
lette IS based on grounds that, except
among close students Of the subject OF
regulation, are new. This objection Is
that for the government to supervise
issues Of railway securities Is in effect
to give government sanction to those
securities, to validate outstanding IS
sues. and at the same time to ac-
complish little bearing on the super
vision Of railroad rates.
In other words, Senator La t'ollette
takes the position that government
regulation of railroad securities IS
chiefly for the investor and for the
owners Of the roads, not for the benefit
of the general public. He has come to
the conclusion that the issue Of secur-
tiles should be subjected only to gen.
eral statutory restrictions and limita-
tions, throwing the responsibility on
the corporation, while the federal and
state commissions should deal with the
Regulation Of rates and so far as pos
sfble ignore issues Of stocks and bonds
in doing it.
Just at present, the interstate COM
merce commission is undertaking ply
sfcal valuation Of the railroads. Sena-
tor LaFollette is expected to take the
position that to attempt to regulate
stock and security issues without
knowing the physical value of the
properties would be like working in the
dark.
Chairman John H. Roemer, Of the
Wisconsin railroad commission Is one
Of the strong opponents Of government
regulation Of railroad stocks and bonds.
He redrafted the Wisconsin stock and
bond law and provided for scheme Of
public supervision Of security issues.
But he has had a change OF mind. He
has come to regard such legislation as
ill-advised. s,..y
