NEW LEGISLATION IS FURTHER RECOMMENDED Difficulties of Dual System of Con trol Will Soon Bcumc Apparant. , WASHINGTON, D. C., Doc. 11.--Concurring heartily in the findings of the board which ho appointed and of which President Arthur T. Ilndloy of Ynle is chairman, l'residont Taft to day sent to congross the roport of the railroad securities committee which under authority of tho net ot ' congress to create a commcroo court has for some months bcou engaged In considering tpiestions connoctcd with the issuance of stocks nnd bonds by railroad coqiorntious. At public meetings held, in Well ington, New York nnd Chicago, 34 of the leading fiscal experts and rnil mnV authorities of the coHHtrygnvt- thoir opinions on the matter. The re sult of tho deliberations of tho com mittee is that tho question divided it self into two parts first, what im mediate action by congress will host meet tho cxis'tiiiL' situation, and suc oiid, what gonoral prinelos should jiuide tho fedoral government in its future legislation on tho subjeot. Xew Legislation Needed. Tho gist of the commission's con clusions is that the present oopilition of a dual fedoral nud stato control 1b not possible of continuance. lUs re iwrt says in part: "As far as concorns tho inunodi; ate action of congress, we believe that stringent provisions regarding pub licity of stock and bond issues, which will show how far the laws aro obey ed and will unable tho fedoral govern ment to hold the railroad officials re sponsible for the consoipioncos of not obeying them will bo more sululoroy and more effective than any new stat utory demands. So long as tho rail road seugniged in interstate oommorao nro chartered by the slates nnd sub ject to state laws regarding thoir o- curities, added federal restriction will tend to orent further uoiifiision in n situation already too complex. Dual System Not Good. "Hut wo also believe tlmt thu timo is near when tho difficult ioa of tho proseut system of dual control nud tho conflict of stato laws will be come so manifest that further legis lation on the subject will bo impera tive. Unless the constitutional power oof congress to rogulato tho securi ties of railroads engaged in inter state commerce s tloftnitoly ostnb lished as being, to the extwit tlmt congrosH acts upon tho subjeot, ex clusive of stato control ono of two things seems likely to happen: Klthur the fedoral govornmont nnd tho gov ernments of tho sovornl states wj,U como to n common understanding 08 to tho principles to bo adoptoi) in Jjie control of scourity issues or tlio rail road systems will bo given tho oppor tunity to exchnngo thoir stato char ters for federal ones. Wo havo, jjioro forc, dismissed in some dotail tho prinoiplos which ought to govern tho stock nud bond issues of railroads in tho TTnitod Statos. "Whichever altornativo wo npot. we. ought to havo such n sot of prin ciplos boforo us.
