Senator Newland6 consumed several ap WCULD LIMIT THEIR CAPITAL. t hours the other day in explaining to fo the members of the Senate Committee v< on Interstate Commerce the provisions e.x of his bill to prohibit over-capitaliza- fig tion of corporations. P< Mr. Newland's plan provides for the incorporation of railroads under a nat- fr ional law instead of the conflicting er laws of forty-five states. lie said pc A NARROw TENEMEN-1 DISTR2IC capitalization would be limited to el h1,uest valuation and actual investment pr instead of being swollen abnormally ac by "the familiar device of stock water- er ing." Dividends would be limited to a fair sa return on actual capital, said the Sen- a r ator, but would be virtually guaran- In teed, because the roads would be per- hc mitted to make rates which would U earn not less than this normal return. w Taxes would be fixed and definite. er Continuing the S e nat or s ai d: th "With the se Jement of both rates and taxes on a p.r'manent basis, railroads would go out of politics because they would have absolutely nothing to gram by political activity. My measure is - based on the theory that railroad con solidation is not harmful if properly controlled. I would not only permit, but encourage such consolidation un der national charters." Baroness Rosen's Yiolets. Undoubtedly it is pleasant to loll upon the cushions of a perfumed lan - dau or coup6, and the owner of such a vehicle is happy amid the odor ofq violets and lavender that comes from the satchet bags she has placed around it. But, the Baroness Elizabeth Rosen daughter of the Russian Ambassador to this country, has more poetic ideas She has a charming little coup6 at the sides, of which, where another woman would have a mirror, powder puff and hairpins, she has two contrivances which hold water and keep a handful of violets fresh and fragrant. It is a delight to step into this carriage. The Baroness is going to have additional flower stands in the coup6, and will have perfume and color wherever she goes. The original New England was on the Pacific coast. Francis Drake took lit possession of the western coast in 1579 and called the country, Nouva a Albion (New England) because he v thought the white cliffs near Point r Reves resembled the chalk cliffs of ti Dover. tE ONRY $1.00.
