CUMMINs TO INVESTIGATE.
Says Capitalization Like That of Rock
Island Is Dangerous.

Island Is Dangerous.
Des Moines, Ia, Aug. 1.-Governor Cum
minis announced to-day that he is investi-
eating the recent reorganization OF the Chi
cago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway Com
pany with a view of ascertaining whether
the organization is in all respects in har-
mony with the laws OF the State of Iowa.
Governor Cummins stated that he will in
Quire as to whether the imitation OF capital
stock which is contemplated by the reor-
ganization is consistent with the Iowa law.
He desires to know just how far p is law
full for a New Jersey corporation to own
and operated in Iowa. 1T may be-" he
stated, that the Iowa laws contemplate as
much latitude as this company has used.
but l doubt 1t very much. 1t is my opin-
mony with the Iowa laws. As I have read
the press dispatches. there has been such
an imitation of capital stock here as is not
contemplate ted by the laws of this State.
There is no limit placed upon the capitali-
cation of such a company. but there Is a
limit upon the Indebtedness. and there must
be something shown TO the credit cf the
stockholders of such a company which will
represent the difference in increased capt.
talization-
1T is my understanding that under the
Rock Island plans of readjustment each
holder of 100 shares of common stock Is to
receive a $4,000 bond secured by a collateral
trust mortgage upon the present Rock Is
land stock. In addition to this they received
Rock Island Company of New Jersey sew
eHly SHdTeS IN preferred STOCK and lOp shares
in common stock, the preferred stock be-
ing preferred TO the extent of per cent
from the earnings of each year for period
of seven years. when II becomes preferred
for per cent for an additional period OF
seven years. after which 1t is preferred. I
believe, to the extent of per cent yer an
nun.
Now the capitalization Of the old Rock
Island Company was but S75,0O00O0. while
the new company located in Iowa declares
a capital of S125,GO00O0. There must he
something to show that the increased CANT
talization is not an excessive imitation. or
that the stock which has been issued is NOT
watered.
Il am not willing to allow a proposition or
such enormous size to amalgamate without
inquiring into methods which it EMPLOYS
and their conformity TO the State laws
am convinced that such a Capitalization of
capital and power is dangerous and cannot
be encouraged without threatening business
interests Such a Capitalization of capital
means mat there may follow an explosion
which. when 1t comes. is likely not ONLY to
affect one, but many interests"
Drawn With Regard for Law.
New York. Aug. 1.-Regarding the dis.
patch from Des Moines that Governor Cum.
minis may take action against the Rock
said to-day: "N
Il do not believe that there is any point
at which our incorporation in the State of
low" can be attacked. The incorporation
papers were drawn up with due regard for
the laws of that State. and We believe that
they will hold in law"
