Coroner Frederick r. Bausch,

He said the body had been taken

MOVE STARTED
To RULE OIL

NEW YORK, March IA de-
termined effort to find a perma.
nent solution of the problem OF
overproduction in the oil industry,
not only in the United States but
also throughout the Western Hem
isphere, has been started Ly the
American Petroleum Institute.
This body has announced the ap-
pointment of committee on world
production and consumption and is
now arranging for a meeting OF
that committee at which 1t Is ex-
pected definite program of curtail-
ment will be mapped out for sub.
mission to the various producing in
terests of the Important pill roun-
tries.
The present movement is the first
concerted attempt to bring about a
general agreement on restriction of
output. Previous efforts. confined
to the United States, have met only
partial success. Nothing has been
accomplished toward curtailment IN
Venezuela.
Thus far the revived curtailment
plans have been centered principally
upon the flush pools of Oklahoma.
and in that State the renewed ef-
forts to curb output are meeting
strong opposition from certain pro-
duCing interests.

(COpyright. 1929. by Universal serylce)
NEW YORK, March 7.-Respon-
sible owners OF the American rail.
roads. which still have top.heavy
financial structures, should recog-
nize that the present period seems
q singularly propitious time for
acquiring new capital through
the distribution of stock.
The announcement by the
United States Steel Corporation
bonded indebtedness with cap
1tal to be obtained through the
sale of additional shares of COM
mon stock focuses attention on
what may be properly regarded as
q golden era for stock financing.
Only an ultra sensitive nature i'm
portuned the directors of the Steel
Corporation, which already has a
singularly strong capital structure.
to revise the set-up, but in the
case of numerous railroads. the
need for acting is urgent.
Top Heavy Debt
1t is estimated that 81 per
cent of the capital of the Amer,
lean railways is represented by
bonded Indebtedness. and only
80 per cent by stock. or evi.
dence of partnership stake.
The preponderance Of debt may
seem harmless enough in times
of prosperity and relatively high
earnings, but 1t entails the threat
of receiverships IN time Of re.
cession and stress.
Wherever feasible. the stronger
railroads should take advanta ge
of conditions. while they last.
which make it possible to substf
tute shares for bonds. Railroad
managers, with nearby maturities.
are in position to act. Others
might even anticipate maturities
somewhat. or, where redeemahle
features exist, might consider re.
tiring such issues before ma
turity
AS matters now stand only car.
riers whose shares are quoted
above par are in position to sell
new shares. There is some sen
timent for changing the law to
permit railroads to issue no.par
value stock at its true value.
Under existing conditions of regH-
lation. the Interstate Commerce
Commission exercises rigorous CON
trol over new railroad financing.
It's membership should be awak-
ened to the unwholesomeness of
the present capital structures of
railroads. and should be persuaded
to encourage corrective measures.
The effort of the commission in
the Chesapeake and Ohio decision
last year TO fix the price at which
the railway could offer new stock
to its shareholders seemed an u1-
warranted extension of the regu.
1atory function, and has probably
had a deterrent effect on the
financial plans OF other systems
The new popularity of common
stocks as investments gives the
railroads an opportunity to offset
the deleterious effects of more
than a decade of bond Financing
In the last two or three years the
stronger railroads have taken ad'
vantage of the improved credit OF
the railroads to raise part OF their
new capital requirements through
the sale of stock. However. they
have not gone as far in this direc'
tion as the industrial and public
