They went aboard the Government

uments took their breath away.
They could not see why business should
not be carried on just as well in two

MORE COMBINES PREDICTED.
George j. Gould Expects to See Many
Big Mergers.

MEMPHIS. Tenn. March 5.-George ].
Gould spent the day here. He predicted
more and larger consultations of rail-
roads soon. He said:
The consolidating tendency will be
alive for some time. / predict other and
greater mergers than have yet taken place.
AS to the effect of such concentration of
interests. l believe the public will be
benefited thereby. l am satisfied that no
detriment to the great shipping interests
will or can result.
THE community of interests among
railroads is desirable primarily for the
reason that a uniform and equitable rate
basis can be maintained. The greatest
menace to the railroad interests of this
country is rate-cutting and the secret re-
bate bonus given in return by some roads
as an inducement to business. Commun-
ity of interests will right all wrongs of
that kind and guarantee to the shipper a
stable. fair, and uniform rate. No under
cutting no sneaking practices to get bust
ness no hurtful Determinations against b

Your painter can only mix; he can't
