GOVERNMENT VS.. MERGER.

Minneapolis Journal: The conten-
ton set up by the attorney general of
the United States against the North
ern Securities company and the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific rail
ways in the action begun in the United
States circuit court for the district of
Minnesota is a convincing one. The
petition is carefully and conservative
ly drawn and covers the whole ground,
whether the merger has as yet really
been effected or not. Yet it does not
hesitate to call a spade a spade. 1t
declares that the attempt to turn over
a controlling interest in the stock of
the Northern Pacific Railway company
to the Great Northern Railway COM
pany is a virtual consolidation" of
the two railway systems. The defend
ants will have a huge task on their
hands successfully to dispute this
contention.
The virtual consolidation" being ef-
fected it follows, as the petition says,
that there will be a practical pooling
of earnings and a monopoly created
of the Interstate and foreign COM
merce formerly carried on by them as
competing" Moreover the petition
correctly declares that onc this has
been effected as between these two
parallel northern lines f" an available
method will be presented whereby
through the corporate scheme" de-
scribed the antitrust act "may be cir
cumvented and set at naught and all
transcontinental lines, indeed the en-
tire railway system of the country,
may be absorbed, merged and con-
solidated, thus placing the public at
the absolute mercy of the holding cor
porations."
The possibilities of the merger idea
could not be put any more emphatical-
ly by the most rabid enemies of rail-
way combines than the attorney gen
eral has put it.
He has certainly made out a strong
case for the contention that the merg-
err is in violation of the antitrust law.
The relief prayed for is so sweeping
that, if the government wins, the
merger both as a present or possible
agency Of uniting the two northern
transcontinental railways in the same
corporate ownership will fail, and like
wise all similar efforts.

ABSURD NAVAL REQUIEM ENTS

Baltimore American: A gunner
whose examination testifies that he is
morally, mentally and physically quail
flied for a commission in the navy is
rejected because he is professional

RESPONSIBILITY OF SHIPPERS.

Omaha Bee: 1t is perhaps true, as
recently stated by Senator Eii>ins,
that the large shippers who secure
rebates from the railroads are chiefly
responsible for the apathy which is
said to pervade congress in regard to
the proposed amendment of the inter-
state commerce law. The West Vir-
ginia senator stated, doubtless with
the authority of personal experience,
that a good many Of the large ship
pers want to have things remain as
they are in order that they may profit
by unlawful rebates in violation of
the law and he cited the case of one
firm operating west from Chicago and
shipping $4,000 cars Of freight each
year which is known to make a re
bate Of SIS per cara fine income, OBJ
served Mr.. Elkins, if the firm made
nothing more On its business. He said
this is not a solitary instance Of the
aid which the present law lends to
such practices.
Of course shippers that have such
an opportunity to gain from violations
of the law will exert all the influence
they can command against any amend
ment of the law intended to deprive
them of this gain and to make the act
generally more effective. They can
afford to spend money literally to this
end and in all probability do so. How
shall this influence be met? Manifest
ly by a united and persistent effort on
the part of the smaller shippers and
| such vigorous expression of public
| sentiment in behalf of a change in the
law as congress will hardly dare to
! disregard. Mr.. Elkins said that the
petitions and other. documents that
have been sent to congress have had
no effect and he thought that nothing
short of a united public demand will
attain any results. AS we have here
tofore said in regard to this, it would
seem that little more could be done
than has been done to convince con-
gress that there is on overwhelming
public demand for a change. This de-
mand has been voiced not only in the
numerous petitions that have gone to
| congress and in the action OF many
! commercial bodies, but also most free.
ly through the press. For years con,
gress has been urged by the leading
newspapers of the country to amend
the interstate m law so as to
make it more effective and to increase
the powers of the commission.
Evidently, however, there is neces-
sity for doing more in this direction
and it should be done at once. AS
now indicated, the present session OF
congress is likely to end in June. sc

state commerce act should be improv.
ed and strengthened have M time to
lose in an effort to impress this upon
congress. There is no doubt that vio'
lations of the law continue. Unques'
tionably the large shippers who, as ad'
mitted by the railroad officials, have
received rebates, are still proftins
by this infraction of the law. II those

There need be no fear that the work
of government irrigation of arid and
semiarid lands will make any serious
inroads on the national treasury. It
wa a stock argument of those gentle
men who opposed the governments
embarking in such a business that it
would be a source of endless expense
and that in the end special taxes would
be necessary to provide for it. That
such will not be the case is shown by
a late report from Nh. F. H. Newell.
chief of the division of photography
and secretary of the American For
estry association, who has made irri-
cation a life study. He says that in
the next century it will not be possible
TO irrigate more than 60,0G0,000 acres
of land, and that the assertion that
2O0.000.0O0 acres a be irrigated with
liz that time is not well founded. If
irrigation is to cost an average of 50
PER acre, the total cost would be S120.-
O00,O0ei n a hundred years, Or S1,2O0,-
coo per year on the average. The es-
innate does not take into account the
fact that the land to be irrigated is
almost entirely the property of the
government, and is now worthless, but
when ready for cultivation will bring
anywhere from $40 to 500 per acre,
paying for itself many times.
