a Those who have read any one of Hugo's romances have enjoyed a never to-be-forgotten treat. Those who c
T laven't read at least one, have surely missed a master writer. No one can be said to have known the best in T

Passing Impressions of Finance j
By Louis Guenther j
Editor of the Financial World j
The West holds to tho belief that a
money trust exists. Among promoters
who are not able to get beyond the door
knob into, the councils where fhe kings
of the money bags arrange for the
financing of new enterprises: there is
also a deep suspicion that there is a
cabal there which will not supply
money or credit to anyone who is not
in their favor. But there is no tangible
money trust. There is, however, a
community of interest among bankers
which has all the form but not the sub
stance of a concentrated money power.
By word of mouth, or by a simple shrug
<>f the Bhoulder, it has been possible to
throw sufficient discredit upon a new
venture or security to kill all hope of
its backers to obtain financial aid.
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. The Colorado Southern ha;;
Joined the list of nondividend rail
roads, another Government suit was
begun against the Lehigh ltallroad to
separate it from its coal properties
"•e wrangle between the different fac
tins of the Rock- Island shows no signt
or abating and the financial doctors
are gleefully rubbing their palms af
they see ahead bright prospects for
more work requiring their attention.
. 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.
Stockholders of the Assets Realiza
tion Company will wonder if tile name
, 'heir company is not a misnomer.
According to the last annual report it
