Chairman Fletcher of the Senate
Banking Committee today predicted
legislation would be enacted next ses-
SIGN providing for Federal supervision
OF security exchanges, modification ol
the securities publicity act and
strengthening of the revenue and bank
ing laws.
Reviewing what he called abuses dis
closed by his committees two-year in
quiry into Wall Street practices, the
veteran Florida Democrat told news
paper men he felt the committee would
feel the same way about remedial leg
islative needs as he does.
There ought to be some form of Gov
ernment supervision Of marketing agen-
cies handling securities" he said. 81
don't know about commodity exchanges
1t Is possible We may have to extend the
supervision to those with futures trad
ing.
Holds Supervision Needed.
1T is my impression, and I think
the committee feels the same way, that
there is need for some Federal super
vision Of the Stock Exchange, the Curb
Exchange and other agencies marketing
securities.
THE committee is inclined to put re-
strictions on gambling on the Stock Ex-
change by some control over margin
I don't know, but We ought to cure
this gambling.
II think the committee realizes We
don't want to abolish or cripple the ex-
change as marketing agency and we
don't want to prevent small specula-
tionS, but when you get into the field
Of gambling there ought to be some
legislation.
Nearly all of the States have laws
against gambling and the Federal Gov
ernment prohibits lotteries. Those are
all ant-hills beside the Washington
Monument compared with gambling on
the stock exchange
Sees Act Modified.
Fletcher said the securities act may
be modified to meet some objections,
but it would not be weakened.
We don't want to weaken it." he
said. but at the same time we don't
want to make it too difficult for capital
to go into enterprises Of various kinds.
We want to protect the public against
exploitation. There will perhaps be a
new modification, but in the main that
act is all right. We are studying that
along with the Presidents committee
appointed through Secretary Roper"
Fletcher said the revenue legislation
aside from liquor taxation. would pro-
vide especially for strengthening ad-
ministrative provisions of the income
tax law.
"Of course, revenue legislation has
to originate in the House." he said,
land the Ways and Means Committee
already is going into that. along with
experts selected to handle 1t. They
have been keeping up with our hear
ings."
Fletcher did not go into details re-
garding the banking act, but was GER
tain the 1888 law would be amended in
many particulars.

EDUCATOR SAYS, GIVING REASON

Detailing why he distrusts mathe-
mates and doesn't like statistics or
graphs. DR.. Johnson urged his hearers
not to be deceived like the farmer
who believed the efficiency expert when
he told him that If boy In a tree
could pick 2 quarts of cherries In Is
minutes boy and a girl in the came
tree could pick 4 quarts in the same
amount Of time"
They might not pick quart all

DR.. Leacock, declaring that "a great
mass of what the college graduate has
learned very soon turns into heap OF

fact that Education. in nine cases out
of ten. is not pursued for its own sake. "

was the bridge on the main highway,
from which it tore the approach on The
north bank, leaving, in its fight for a
new channel, gap Of about 200 feet
between the bridge and the present
bank Thursday evening, owing to the
weakened bridge, Frank Cummings
was forced to leave his car ON the town

The old Whitcomb yard was partly
washed away also. One end of the
Standpoint warehouse was undermined
and the equipment stored within had to
be hastily moved out. The eastbound
G. N, bridge was weakened and it was
necessary for them to use the vest
bound bridge entirely. G. NJ. crews were
kept busy night and day working on
the bridge and protecting 1t and the
tracks from the heavy rush of water and
debris. This is not the first time Gala

it was even worse in 1897
