NEED RAILROAD REGULATION E. E. Clark, Member of Interstate Com merce Commission Commends Policy of President as to the Prosecution of Railroad Law Breaker. CHICAGO, III., Oct. 2C.-"Spcculative flnancinc" as a controllinir factor in railroading wae denounced as fatal to the prosperity of railroads and the country by E. ,E, Clark, member of the Interstate Commerce Commission, in an address delivered last night before the Traffic Club. Going into the cause Of the - atocfc;. and omney troubles, as they effect the railroads, Mr. Clark Uecbired that it waa not President Roosevelt's policy, but the policy of the . law breakers who have been exposed that vm to blame for the flurry. , "The railroad have signally failed to keep , up facilities ifor moving I freight wliieh tie increasing business of tbe countiy demands,'' said Mr. Clark. "This is partly duo to the unprecedented in crease in the volume of business to be handled. The most important reason, however, l the Speculative financing which almost without exception controls the railroads. Many persons hold the President responsible for the shrinkage In values, eaying his policy has fright ened Investors. I do not subscribe to this belief. If It were true, however, it should not move tbe President one iota from his purpose of prosecuting viola tors of the law." Railroad regulation by state and national government, each in iwi proper epneare, ia essenuai. j, oucn regulation must be firm, sane and rea sonable, and lust. The railroads must make uniform rules, not necessarily the same at all seabns of the year, as busi ness cnanges with the months, but uni form to all shippers. If , the railroads ore not strong enough, to make and en force such rules, the federal "government must etep in and assume a measure of control In their affairs," ' ' !
