To Place It In Safe Hands

The placing of Northern stock in the Northern Securities Company was done to have the majority of the stock placed in safe hands so as to insure continu- ance of the policy of the road and in- sure the "moral' control. No other con trol was contemplated. The i1ea of form ing the Northern Securities Company was never thought of previous to May g, MT. Morgan said.
 MT. Morgan testified later that he had made large sale of Northern Pacific stock to J. J. Hill. He did not remem- Der the amount, but in reply to a sugges- ton from MT. Lamb that it was $10,00O, 900 he stated that was probably correct. He said he did not help organize the North ern Securities Company, but he approved the plan.
 The witness said J. P. Morgan & Go. hold between 10000 and 19O,0O0 shares of Northern Securities stock at present. On cross-examination by his attorney Fran cis Lynde Stetson, MT. Morgan denied that there was any understanding or agreement in the organization of the Northern Securities Company looking to the control of rates or traffic or any agreement that would in any manner ob- struct or contemplated the obstruction of commerce.
 He said all parties to the agreement had acted independently.

OPERATORS MEET M
FORM OIL EXCHANGE

Denver, Jan. son men represent
ing the various oil districts of Colorado
and Utah met Monday at the Denver
Wheel Club building and launched the
Western Oil Association. A representa-
ton of 100000 invested in oil develop
ment in the state was represented by
the delegates, who numbered about
100. Directors for the association
were chosen and committees appointed
to draft a constitution and bylaws.
The directors will meet and adopt by
laws and a constitution, elect officers
and formally incorporate the body
with the secretary Of state. Within
a month It is predicted a working eX-
change with listed stocks and authen-
tic information relative to the oil bust
ness in the state will be in full run
ming order.
George w. Allen was chosen tempo
rary chairman and Harry e. Insley
temporary secretary. Explanation vas
made by Mr.. Insley that Judge Bailey
of Canon City, who was the provi-
siOnal chairman chosen at the prelim-
mary meeting last month, was i'll. A
short review of the movement for the
information of the exchange was given
by Mr.. Insley. Judge Allen was
chosen chairman by reclamation.
Professor Arthur Lakes, the geolo-
gist, who has just returned from a six
months tOur of the state, examining
the various oil districts, and who il
recognized as an authority on geologic
al prediction, then addressed the con-
ventiOn on the oil possibilities Of the
state. Among other things he said.

Washington, Jan. S.-The debate on
the Nicaraguan canal bill in the House
was opened in lively fashion yesterday
by Mr.. Hepburn, chairman of the in
terstate and foreign commerce com
mittee, which reported the bill. For
two hours he held the floor. replying
to a volley Of questions concerning the
recent offer OF the Panama Canal Com
pany to sell its property aud franchises
to the United States for S40,OO0,O00.
The interest in the debate centered
almost entirely in this new phase of
the subject. Mr.. Hepburn maintained
that the alleged new offer Of the Pana-
ma Canal Company to sell its property
was part of the plan of delay. All his
u%tterances along that line were Hber-
ally applauded. He pointed out what
he claimed was the suspicious circum-
stance that the Panama company held
out for 10O,OO0,0 900 until it was de
cided before the holiday recess to con-
slider the Nicaragua bill, and then sud
denly dropped the price to $40,O00,00O.
Referring to the efforts of the Pana-
ma Canal Company to build a canal by
private enterprise, he summed up their
efforts as follows:
1.-THE company raised $256,OO0 900 by
the sale of S435, 100000 of bonds, and
after eight years the managers of the
company found themselves with the
work less than oue-fourth completed,
penniless and bankrupt in money and
character"
The disaster to this company, he sae1,
proved ~conclusively that the work
should be undertaken by governmental
agency.

Columbus, Ohio, Jan. S.-The Ohio
Legislature convened Monday in BIZ

the officers nominated at the Republi-

At noon the annual message of Gov
ernor Nash was read in both the Sen
ate and the House. 1t was noted for
its recommendations Of a new system
Of taxation under which all taxes for
state purposes are to be raised from
corporations, franchises, the liquor
traffic, etc, and all direct taxation for
county, municipal or other purposes is
to be left to the counties. 1t is a sys-
TEN of home rule in local taxes.
Regarding corporations the message
said:
During the last two years much has
been said upon the question as to how
corporations should be regulated and
as to how evils which arise from the
misuse of corporate franchises may be
minimiZed, or entirely overcome. Many
have thought that publicity Is the only
sur remedy.
Because they are created by the
state and possess certificates bearing
the impress of her seal people are LED
to believe that they are safer to dc
business and are more entitled to cred
it than are private partnerships and in.
dividuals. In very many cases they
are less worthy Of confidence. They
are authorized by. the state to do bust
ness before one dollar Of capital stocl
has been paid. This is an unfortunate
