GOOD FOR BIG SYSTEMS, TOO
Shuts Out Another Proposed Merger, This
Time in the South.


Time in the South.
''The larger systems, ON the other
hand, are protected against the build
ing of parallel lines built to force them
to buy to protect themselves. The de-
cision seems to make impossible the
success of the projected Southern Sc
curities company. In the recent hear
ing before the Interstate commerce
commission IN the Louisville and Nash
vile case Mr.. Gates testified that If
the Northern Securities company was
upheld Mr.. Morgan proposed the or
ganization OF a Southern Securities
company to merge certain important
roads in the south, plans having been
discussed or arranged to await the de-
cision, which Mr.. Morgan expected to
be favorable to his methods.
1T could not have been a healthy or
safe situation if few men could have
sat in their Offices in New York and
controlled the railroad systems of this
entire country; not safe for the stock
holders Of the roads themselves nor for
tuc puDllC.
Speaking for the independent sys-
TENS 1 welcome the promise Of con
tinued fair competition. There Is
plenty Of business to give good profits
to all roads and systems properly es-
tablished and wisely managed, and
there will be demand for extension.
and for new lines to carry the steadi-
ly increasing traffic and travel. AS
for the general public, it is idle to
talk Of political republic with a finan-
cial tyranny.
Instead of disturbing our prosperi-
ty this decision, if sustained-as
believe it will be-will establish, Sc
cure and protect the commercial sit
uation; it will encourage and foster
legitimate extension and growth and
expansion, and acknowledgements and
industry and local effort by guarantee
ing them against oppression and forced
absorption"
