The report from thz bureau of corporations on the resolution written and introduced by me calling for an investigation of the cotton exchanges, with a view of ascertaining -what effect the fluctua tions jn the market price are occa sioned by the character of these con fracts and deliveries made thereon, hag not been sent to the house. “I understand it is in the hands of the president, and that he is holding it for some purpose.

Even though President Roosevelt should sub mit to congress the report above re ferred to with recommendations based thereon, I believe the Lest chance for effective legislation must come through the ordinary channels.

Traffic officers of 13 railroads were guests of the St. Louis Trafiic Club Wednesday night at a banquet of 200 covers. The principal address was delivered by B, Y. Yoakum, chairman fe the executive committee of the Rock Island system. Mr.. Yoakum said, in part: - “There hag never been a time in the ‘history of our ‘country when the masses so well uhderstood .the rela tiong of the railroads to the public or so fully realized the difficulties and hardships to whaich the railroads are subjected. This is ‘the natural out come of the conditions of today, which are calling for a more careful study of the railroad situation than ever be fore. The railroads handle the com merce and commadities of the nation; and, tnerefore, every man, woman and child has an interest in this question. The subject, however, is so broad and comprehensive that it is not possible for me in the limited time at my dis posal to discuss it except in a general way. ; 5 “All the states and territories in the union,; barring the New England states, need more railroads. A “The study of this prcblem is an in teresting one for the American people. It is so great in possibilities as to be incomprehensible until viewed from the broad standpont of the future. “The situation of today is a peculiar one; in many ways a serious one, and one that every thoughtful citizen must give due consideration, as 'the country Is passing: through an unusual siege 'of agitation and -uncertainty, . “Some of tne most thoughtful men of our country, the heads bf many of the great financial institutions c;/Tor eign* countries, and the:able editorial writers of our press, have described the various causeg that contributed to and brought about the business diffi culties we are’ now facing, and the puplic is becoming well informea upon the subject. The censengus of opinion is that the trouble has, been precipitat ed lasgely by too hasty enactment of laws, resulting in the discontinuance of railroad construction, the suspension of industrial actiivty, factory develop ment and a curtailment of markets for the farm products. But we should have reached a point where we should cease looking for the cause and give atten tion to a remedy, and this remedy myst come - ‘through -the co-operation and action'of the thoughtful citizens of ‘the country supported by the en dorsement and encouragement of the press.” : Yellow Fever in Santiage Province.
