Santa h = agreed to give the Southern
Pacific a line from Benson through
Mexico to Guaymas.
The Santa Fe people now come to the
Legislature as a Federal corporation to
secure legislation enabling them to
carry out this agreement so that their
system may be consolidated and bonds

be needed, as they could under existing
statutes purchase from the Southern

Colorado River.
When the bill was submitted it is
sa1d that Governor Gage was appre-
henslVe that the measure might pre-
clude competition and therefore he sug-
sested an amendment. The Santa Fe
managers incline to the opinion that if
the amendment should be adopted the
purpose of the measure, that is to say,
the complete consolidation of the Santa
re interests, would be defeated.

not opposing the original measure.

GOVERNORS ACTION AN
INJURY TO THE STATE

MANY years ago, when the Atlantic
and Pacific Railroad, backed by the
capitalists of the Santa Fe corporation,
was extending a line of railroad from
Albuquerque to the Pacific Coast, the
Southern Pacific stepped in to block the
extension. In order to checkmate the
Santa Fe the Southern Pacific mana
gers rushed in and constructed line
from Mojave. on the desert, east to the
Needles; on the Colorado River. There
fore in order to get into California the
Santa Fe was compelled to lease from
the Southern Pacific the line from the
Needles to Mojave Accordingly a
thirty-year lease was negotiated.
Now the Santa Fe has acquired the
Valley road, also the line from Los An
geles to San Diego, and to make the
