Tho London Times ON the Proposed Re-
organization.
LONDON, May 23.- The Times in its
financial article, commenting on the pro-
posed scheme to re- organize the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe Company, says;
"That the common stockholders would
make the sacrifice, was to be expected,
as the bulk of the income bonds are held
here and the holders are supposed to be
quite defenceless against such high
handed treatment.
IL money is wanted for the legitimate
development OF the line the proper course
is TO pay the income bondholders the full
dividend, not I'm cash, but in common
stock, for year or two, and use the sum
due TO them for improvements. 1t Is un-
just to ask the holders to accept a further
reduction OF the miserable revenue prom
Used them after the cruel sacrifice forced
from them in 1889 for the benefit OF the
common holders, who, II equity had been
observed, would have been wiped out in
1889 unless they had paid assessments"
