SOUTHERN AND MONON
Will the Rumored Consolidation Tai

Will the Rumored Consolidation Take
Place?
The Atlanta Constitution Of Tuesday
says:
Railway men are wondering if the
Monon is to be brought into the South
ern system.
A report 80 that effect was sent out
from Chicago last week. Indeed the
Associated Press dispatch stated that
the Monon officials announced as a fact
that the consolidation would occur at
an early date.
If this turns out to be true. Atlanta
will have through line to Chicago just
as she has to Washington
A high official in the Southern rail
way says that there has been no con
solidation as yet. What would be done
he could not say, as President Samuel
Spencer is in Europe on his vacation
and will not be hack until August 2nd.
The MonOn was bought some time ago
by Mr.. J. Pierpont Morgan.
1t may be that it will be made part
of the Southern railway system.
There are now three systems which
extend north and south of the Ohio
river. The Louisville and Nashville.
Mobile and Ohio and the Illinois Cen
trail. The first go to ST Louis and the
latter reaches Chicago and ON to Omaha.
If the Monon becomes Il part of the
Southern system. there will be a read
justment of rates or at least of divis-
ions by the Ohio gateways The lines
north of the Ohio have long complained
that they were shut out or the south.
but they always wanted the Southern
roads to stand the shrinking in rates
which they contenued ought TO be
made.
Atlanta would he glad 10 have a
through line to Chicago, and the bust
ness men of that city are extremely
anxious to see a line under one man
lgement from the shore of Lake Mich
igan to the South Atlantic coast.
The tendency to CONSOLIDATED railway
lines has been marked for the past few
years. Just now there appears to be
another tendency in the cooperation be-
tween roads in the same geographical
group.
Until the past winter there was an
understanding between the roads north
of the Ohio and those on this side not
to run through passenger cars from
that side into this territory. Passengers
had to change at Cincinnati, agree
ment seems to be about gone. and if
the Soutehrn absorhs the Nonon the
last opposition to through car service
will have to give way. TheA Monon ex-
tends from Louisville to INDIANAPOLIS
land Chicago. and its acquisition by the
Southern would put the latter road into
a rich traffic field

conduct and supervision OF state
banks. Mr.. Patterson in letter
to the TRIBUNE objects to an item
that appeared in our columns
recently stating the objections OF
state banker TO his measure. He
says he would not pay any atten-
ton to the item were il not for the
fact that il may lead those who
have not seen the bill TO the con-
clusion that the measure is unwise
and unjust.
Unfortunately there are two sides
to every question, and We believe
i, is the business OF newspaper
to not only present the facts in
favor OF a proposed law, but to
state the objections as well. We
did not publish the item as a
criticism of his measure but as an
item of news. The TRIBUNE be-
! lieves that Mr.. Pa,terson's bill is a
wise measure and we would like
to see it become a law II it affected
national banks as we'll
AS Mr.. Patterson says the first
consideration OF bank should be
absolute safety, the amount OF
business and dividends should be
secondary considerations. The
amount OF reserve required by his
bill is thirty.fyc per cent OF the
deposits, and this is none too large
to assure the absolute safety OF any
| bank. The amount OF reserve
required OF national banks, how
ever, is only fifteen per cent, and
it does look as though IT would
be working hardship upon a
state bank to demand that they
hold reserve over double the
amount required OF national
bank
Mr. Patterson says there is not
a requirement in his bill that he
does not observe in the manage
ment OF the FIRST National Bank
Of La Junta. This We know to be
true, but it is not likely that such
methods are observed by all
national banks Place all banks
upon an equality and make them
all observe the same rules and
regulations and no one will have
any reason to complain OF injustice.
