I am not saying tills on mere hearsay. I have confirmation from the signifi cant admission made by a witness be fore the Interstate Commerce Commis sion. This witness was a president of a large New York Trust Company, who, in pleading that interlocking directors v ere performing a constructive duty, frankly said that railroads need bank ers as directors since their prisence on the- board assures them of the neces sary credit. He cited the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient as an Illustration of his point that the absence of bankers from the board of that road brought about the financial embarrassment of the Orient system. To the public this statement will read rather strangely. It will be as sumed from it that if the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient had basked In the sunshine of favor of our large bankers it could have secured readily what | money was needed to finish the line. | Such is the power of money. A money trust need not be incorporated; it is I possible to establish it by community : of spirit among bankers. | Even the announcement from Presi | dent Bush, of«the Missouri Pacific, that I arrangement has been made to pay the : road's $25,000,000 of notes this Fall has 1 not served to divert attention from the financial plight in which the remaining | so-called Gould roads find themselves, l although they have so far succeeded In j keeping out of the courts. For the am | bition of George Gould to be the first American to have a railroad running 1 under his own ownership from the At- I lantic to the Pacific, the public has had j to pay a heavy toll. | It had cost the Denver and Rio , Grande alone more than $20,000,000 of its income to feed its offspring, the Western Pacific, since It was built ami there are no signs at present of this drain stopping. It has cost the Den ver and Rio Grande security holders a loss in market value In their shares since 1903 of more than $55,000,000. ' Had not Gould saddled this heavy weight upon their property it could have continued Its preferred dividend without trouble. The bondß of the Western Pacific, originally sold for $96, are down to S6O, though a first mort gage railroad bond. For the Missouri Pacific to even have a look in on the re-organization of the Wabash and Wabash-Pittsburgh Terminal, and the Wheeling and Lake Erie will require expenditures of millions, and all this Is the penalty of an overweening am bition. While the stock market was dull the week was not without very Important features, whose influence will eventu ally be felt.

President Wilson, for his trust bill, insists upon making established guilt Personal. He wants directors who profit illegally from their positions of trust e l ua 'ly for their shortcomings with the common thief. The President has taken a high moral stand. There ought to be no law which has two dif ferent interpretations, mild for men of means, and harsh for those in humble stations ol life. Among some of our well-meaning" people tile feeling abounds tliat all this trust busting Is hurting business and impairing confidence. But this Is look .I s at „ , from a superficial point of view, fathered by a desire, more or less, to gloss over a bad economic situation, that Ih not the way to eradicate evils. Cauterizing a cancer will not destroj the disease; it must be cut out of the oocly, if these well-meaning critics will study what destruction has occurred they will discover that some of our so called financiers have done more trust busting than all the agitation emanat ing from Washington and for which no law but the law of recklessness is re sponsible.
