COMMISSION LAUDS.
SECURITY, MEASURE.
Stoppages of FIotations Fol-
low Purpose to Curb
Wildcat Trading.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Despite demands that the securities
act be changed because Of charges that
1t Is interfering with the flow Of capital,
officials of the Federal Trade Comnlis-
sion declared the act was working
efficiently.
Reports show, they said, that invest
ment is backward for entirely different
reasons. Although the commission has
stopped flotation of some 40 proposed
issues, officials believe the purpose OF
the act was to prevent the sale OF IN.
adequately promoted securities ana tnat
stoppages to date follow that purpose.
A detailed study Of dotations during
was not in effect, and in the same period
in 1888 when the act was working, was
a part OF the basis for the commissions
belief that the act had not brought on
a capital strike.
Statistics show fotations in the 1882
period were 1881 ,500 as compared
with $211 600, 500 in the same 1883
period, these totals representing the
types of securities that would come
under the act.
The figures further showed that hota-
tions exempt from the act both IN 1882
and 1888 were less this year than last
These were railroads and State and
municipal issues which need not be reg
istered under the securities act.
The study said there had been 19l
registrations under the act in less than
two months, compared with only 80 is
sues in the approximately correspond
ing period a year ago. The bulk OF the
issues fioated in the period last year
were public utilities, accounting for %
out of 80 issues, and representing In
dollar value 95 per cent OF all the non
exempt" financing This year, under
the act, public utilities financing repre-
sented less than per cent OF the total
securities registered.
In search of another comparison OF
security f1otations under the act and
without any so-called interference. the
commission also had figures showing
that in Canada, where there was no
such new act fotations for the nine
months ending September 80 were but
$40, O,OOG, 900 larger this year than last,
and that In September Of this year only
a little more than million was f1oateo,
as compared to $71 100000 last year.
The commissions security officials ex-
pressed belief that the lack Of new capt.
tai was caused by monetary factors and
by the lack of actual demand and need
for new financing. AS contrasted to re-
funding, they said attacks on the act
were largely based on fears OF the la
bility clause that made security's is
suers liable for statements OF fact IN
selling the issue.

Many million dollars worth Of butter

more than a year ago and 45000.0 900
greater than the average for the last

The cost will be borne by both the

The butter program contemplates
that the Farm Administration will bear
q substantial portion Of the cost. It Is
considering imposing tax of cent a
pound on butter fat and a compensatory
processing tax on oleomargarine, which
together would net an estimated reve-
nue. Of $30,000,000
The Farm Administration proposes
that only portion of the butter fat
processing tax be used to remove sur
pluses, contemplating production con-
troll program which would be financed
principally through the tax This pro-
gram might include the purchase of

Speaker Rainey Asks
 For Repeal Vote
In Short Conference With Gov Cross and Rep Goss at
 Hartford Expresses Interest in Tuesday Election

tatives during brief stop in Hart ford, where he changed from air. plane to motor on his way to Am herst commencement. During a chat in the governors office with Governor Cross and Congressman Edward Goss, reference was made to the approaching repeal election
 in Connecticut on Tuesday and Speaker Rainey most willingly dic- tated an urgent appeal to Con- necticut voters to vote Tuesday and to vote for the ratification of the
 21st amendment which repeals the
 18th.
 "Every state is voting to reHeal the 18th amendment as fast as we get to them," said Speaker Rainey.
 we do not want to lose any state. The result here in Connecticut will
 have it's effect on the entire coun-
 try. Of course. we know that the state is going wet, and the danger Is that a great many voters who
 would vote for repeal may stay at home upon the theory that their
 votes are not needed. But their votes are needed. We will soon be
 holding elections in southern states. There are eleven of them who have heretofore been consid-
 cred dry, but if every state as the vote is taken falls into the wet column and be very large and al- most overwhelming majorities il will have its psychological effect throughout the country, and es- pecially in the southern states
 which the drys hope to carry.
 We all await with a great deal of interest all over the country the result of the election here on Tues
 day, June the twentieth, and we
 confidently expect to see the amendment repealed in Connecti- cut but a large majority, the larg- CT majority the more influence Connecticut will exert on the states which have~not yet voted.
 Tt is exceedingly important to
 repeal the eighteenth amendment this year. and enough states, if we
 carry all of them. will vote this year to repeal 1t, and the relief on the taxation which we have been impelled to impose in Washington to carry out the reconstruction program depends upon the speedy repeal of the amendment. As soon as revenue from that source com mences to pour into the treasury, the president will repeal these new taxes which are going into effect so soon, and he has been author ixed to repeal them whenever the eighteenth amendment is re- pealed."

With bill passed by the recent session of the state legislature scheduled to go into effect on July list concerning the question of equal rights for whites and colored people, much interest is now being expressed here in view of the fact that Hartford and Middletown have already experienced trouble on the question which, however. was not carried through to because the statute has yet to become part of the state laws. The act giv- ing whites and colored persons equal rights in hotels, restaurants. and other public places, such as theaters and taverns, was passed by the 1898 general assembly.
 Prior to the passage of the 1883 act, colored persons denied equal rights with white persons in ho- tels, restaurants, theater and so forth. could sue in the course.
