New York. Nov. 22.-Governor-elect
Cummins, of Iowa, who is at present
in New York. made Il statement yester-
day with respect TO the possible results
Of the joint control of western railways
by the Northern Securities company.
He said: Il do not believe there will
be any organized opposition in Iowa to
the big consolidation of western rail
roads. There is n wide difference of
opinion in our state as to the result OF
the consolidation. While it is recog-
niZed that the movement places great
power in few hands il is recognized
also that power may be used for the
peoples good as well as to their detri-
ment. 1t is felt that it may eliminate
cutting of rates. rebates TO large ship
perS, and give SteadineSS to tranSporta-
tion charges. These are some of the
things that at present are the greatest
troubles TO our pOple.
Where 1t May BE Detrimental.
'On the other hand, the consolidation
places in the hands of those at the
head of the movement Il power that
contains the elements of peril. If it is
used to reduce the accommodation of
the lines consolidated. to raise their
rates, and decrease facilities for ship
pers and passengers i'm order to econ
OmiZe. there is no doubt the people
VIII be prompt in taking such recourse
as Is in their power. This would prob
ably assume the form of law suits and
legislative action. If. however, the
railroads in the consolidated lines use
their large powers wisely l see no
reason for them TO apprehend any trou-
BE in Iowa.
Thinks II Only the Beginning.
II regard the consolidation of the
railroads as the first step
toward uniJng the itereSts Of all the !
great railroad systems west of New |
York. When carried through it will |
prevent entirely rebates and rate-cut- |
ting, which are great hindranceS i'm |
many places to business. But if the /
covers of the final consolidation are |
used to raise rates and decrease facili-
les of shipment and travel there is no
loubt the general government would |
step in and regulate rates.
