REoRGANIzArIoys cosr MONEY.

The Interstate Commerce. Commission
in announcing decision last week
with reference to certain rates charged
to Lynchburg, Danville and otner
cities, made a statement which must
have narrowed the feelings of the
stockholders of the old roads belonging
to the Southern Railway system. The
Commission ia its decIsion. which
was against the Southern Railway, as
serted that the sl20, 000,0 600 OF common
stock in that road had never had any
thing paid upon it, and finally, that
it does not rest in the. within of Re
ofanization Committee IN Wall Street
to impose tax upon the whole Southern
country"
AS the Southern Railway common
stock WAS issued in exchange for the
stocks of the old Richmond Terminal
system, the shares were paid for and
very dearly at that, as any Of the old
stockholders would bear witness. When
the reorganization was effected il was
in the darkest period OF railroad de-
preston and the most that was ext ected
in the new company was to save the
charges On the old bonds. Most of these
bonds were assessed and the stocks
were all heavily taxed. The Richmond
Terminal shareholders had to nay $40
II share and the East Tennessee COM
mon stockholders 1920 Ter share,
and give up 40 per cent of their stock
holdings. The burden was so heavy
and the Southern Railway COM
mon stock offered in exchange appeared
SO valueless that many holders would
not pay the assessments and threw the
burden on the reorganization COM
mittee.
The rates complained OF by the citi-
zens of Danville may have been too
high, but any man who has owned
stock in a reorganized corporation will
bear testimony that the process is a
costly one. The common stock OF big
industrial syndicates whose constituent
conn anies were bought out at high
prices is frequently given away to the
promoters, but in the case of bankrupt
railroads The reorganized shares. how
ever worthless they may be, have cost
the original stockholders great deal
OF money.

To the Editor of the Evening Post
Sir; Apropos of Mr.. Thomas Clyde's
letter in your issue OF this evening, and
your editorial comment thereon, may /
ask at your hands the courtesy Of space
in the Evening Post for the two follow
ing queries? H. Would rot your
quotation from the last report of the
Commissioned OF Navigation have been
fairer, considering what you intended
to convey, II 1t had further quoted him
to the effect that hut one ship, and
that Of less than 2 600 tons register, was
built 10 the United States during last
year for the foreign trader (2.) What
knowledge have you that the Atlantic
Transport Line would put their foreign
built ships under American registry,
without compensation from the govern
lnent, and what knowledge have you
that any other American owEer of
foreign built vessels would place them
under American register. without COM
rensation, IL our laws accorded them
that privilegeY
Surely this last question gets to the
core Of your free ship advocacy. In
Advocating that policy you must have
some knowledge that its adoption
would increase the tonnage unde our
flag in the foreign trade. A few specific
instances OF the Willingness Of Ameri.
can owners of foreign-built vessels to
place them under American register,
and contne them to the foreign trade,
without government compensation,
would 90 along way toward convincing
the public of the rraciicability of your
plan for giving US an American (f)
mere hant maine 10 the foIeign trade.
My own information is that there is
not an American owner Of foreign-built
ships who would, for a moment. seri-
ously consider the suggestion of plac-
ing them under the American flag
without receiving from our government
coup ensation sufficient to reimburse
them for the extra cost Of operating
them under our flag.
