LIMIT OF INDEBTEDNESS THE ISSUE.
The Reorganization Of the Railroad Is
Not Entirely Satisfactory to the
People OF Iowa.

Des Moines, Iowa, August i.-Govornor
Cummlns has announced that he Is inve,.
tlgating the recent reorganization cf ,he
Chicago. Rock Island aud PaclNc Railway
company TO ascertain whether the vlglui4c-
ton Is In all RESPECTS consistent with the
State laws OF Iowa. He will confer VITA
the attorney general about the matter MS
soon us chat official returns to the city. In
giving the reasons for his action Governor
Cumnins said today; ''lt is my opinion
that the reorganization is ost OF harmony
with the Iowa laws. If have read the
press dispatches Alright, there has he n
Is not contemplated by the laws Of this
State Ii is true that there Is no limit
placed on the capitalization Of such a
company, but there Is q limit upon the In.
debtedness OF such corporations and there
must be something shown TO the credit OF
the stockholders OF such company which
VIII represent ;he differences In increased
capitalization.
1T is my understanding that mnder the
Rock Island plan Not readJnstment each
holder OF 100 shares Of common stock Is to
receive Il SloOOO bond secured by col
lateral trust mortgage upon the present
Rock islnnd company stock. IN addition 20
this. they receive In the Rock Island com
pany Of New Jersey seventy shares of pre-
terred stock and 100 shares IN common
stock, the preferred stock being preferred
TO the extent OF per cent from tho earn
lngs of each year for period u seven
years, when It 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 per annum.
The capitalization Of the old Rock Is
land was but ST5000,G10 while the new
company located in Iowa declares capital
of S125.00o000.
There must be something 10 my mind
to show more than Is Indicated In the above
plan tAat the increased capitalization is not
an excessive imitation. or that the stock
which has been Issued Is not watcrud.
Under the Hubbard bill, which l vetoed
last winter. II would have been rossibl
for this new company TO organize without
any difficulty. as all limitations 10 the in
dehtcdness of such corporations were prac-
tlcally removed by the act in its original
form. Under the present law there are lin
itations In this regard.
II am not prepared to say that the Iowa
law has any penalties which could I've In
1lcted for violation Of such statutes. but
| am not willing to sit by ana allow a
proposition Of such enormous size to ANAL
gamate without inquiring into the method
which ii employs and it's conformity to the
State laws. | am convinced that such n
Capitalization Of capital ana power Is dan
gcrous. TO say the least, and can rot he

interests Such Capitalization VI capital
