SENATOR GIBSON OF MONTANA

Thinks the Merger Cannot BE Dstrl-
mental to tn sInteEestssSoa A9n-
Great Falls. Mont. Jan. n.-United
States Senator Paris Gibscn n: in response
to q query as to his sentiments on the
question Of the railroad merger. has
made the following reply:
"AsI am not q lawyer, ! will venture
no opinion as to the legal rights OF q
Northern Securities company. What we
IN Montana wish to know IL the effect
that this control OF stock will have. upon
our state. 1t seems to me improbable
thattunder this railway merger the IN
dustries Of the Northwes. will be IN
any n crippled. I cannot see
where a harmony Of railway interests
would be detrimental to us. On the
contrary, It is my belief that, more than
ever before, 1t would be the desire. OF
the railway companies to build up the
forming, mining and manufacturing IN
dustries of our state.
P~r0gressive Rate Reflections.
1.-THE railway companies doing busi-
ness in Montana are taking q more live
ly Interest thar ever before In the set
tlement Of the state, and in the subject
of national aid to irrigation, which is
the real foundation for our future pros
perity.
For many years past the Great
Northern Railway company has reduced
its Western freight tariffs from time to
time, clearly on the theory that such
reduction would tend to the upbpilding
of the country, and, consequently, to
increase its freight tonnage. It is sim
ply absurd to contend that the Great
Northern, Northern Pacific and Bur-
lington companies would use great eff
forts to establish farm colonies and
manufacturing interests along their
lines and then impose a rate on grain
and manufactured products that would
destroy or cripple the farms and the
mills. We should not forget that it IS
for the interest Of these railways that
Montana should have more people.
more farms, more productive mines and
more cattle and sheep than it has ever
had before"
