..Leas Promise. Condemns Over Cap
italization of Corporations.
NEW TORE, March 20. Tha Am
erican today publishes a lengthy In
terview with John D. Rockefeller;
which statement was obtained on a
train while Mr. Rockefeller was en
route from Augusta, Ga to Phlladel
phia. where be arrived yesterday. In
the Interview Mr. Rockefeller Is quo
ted as being opposed to the over-cap!
taJlsatlon of the railroads and other
corporations and as favoring federal
control of the railroads.
Of over over capitalisation. Mr,
Rockefeller Is quoted as saying
"I think that properties should be
capitalised at only their legitimate
value, an dif that . were done there
would be such a feeling of security
in them among the general public
that we would find men with a little
money holding highly profitable stocks
Instead of allowing It to remain at
small interest in aavngs banks."
Mr. Rockefeller, however, was una
ble to suggest a remedy for existing
cases of overcapitalization. He said,
in his argument It would be next to
impossible to reduce such capitaliza
tions now without causing chaos, but
for the future, corporations he would
suggest conservatism.
"Allied if he thought the confer
ences between the railroad men and
the government would be beneficial,
Mr. Rockefeller said ;
"I cannot say. It is my Idea that
federal control would be a better thing
for the roads. They would then un-j
aerstand the laws they must observe,
and would be able to plan ahead dlU-,
