These figures show that even under
the operating conditions of 1908
Northern Pacific is able to pay 7 per
cent to it's stockholders without in any
way overstepping the bounds of con-
servatism. The Milwaukee pays 7 per
cent on all its stock at present, and
has not been criticized on this score. .
Physical Condition.
The figures reveal more than this.
Northern Pacific in the year just past
spent $28S per mile on it's road and
and above the maintenance charges
Of the Milwaukee. This is great dis
crepancy. Northern Pacific should
spend more on it's road because Of its
greater freight density, but this differ
ence is far too great. The fact is that
Northern Pacific has been very lavish
in these expenditures. with the result
that the system is now in a better
physical condition than Is the Mil
Waukee. "a
This difference in the maintenance
charges means that Northern Pacific
spent $1,471,968 on it's maintenance
or way and, ssS9,314 on it's mainten-
ance of equipment over and above
what it would have spent If main
tanned on the basis of the Milwaukee.
These charges aggregate $2,361,282 or
LIS per cent on the stock. Maintained
on Milwaukee, basis the road, there
fore, earned Ill per cent on it's stock.
It is stated that Northern Pacific will
hereafter be maintained much nearer
the standard of Milwaukee than in the
past, and that it will show better
percentage on it's stock than in 1908,
unless unforeseen conditions arise to
unduly enlarge the expense of con-
Quoting transportation.

RAILROADS.
A I PER CENT STOCK
Northern Pacific Has Been So Re-
garded by the Northern Sc
curities People.
Interesting Comparison Between the
Northern Pacific and the
."t-. Milwaukee.

j. J. Hill and the Northern Securi-
ties people at large have regarded
Northern Pacific in the light of a z
per cent stock for the past twelve
months. Had there been no litigation
against the Northern Securities COM
ment turned out differently in the low
err court regular dividends at the rate
of IN per cent quarterly would have
been declared last year. ~&..- a. ~
There is, therefore, nothing in the
current story that the rate Is to be
raised to Z per cent for the sake of
simplifying the refunding of the stocks
held by the Northern Securities COM
pany. There are three distinct rea-
sons why this reason is totally false:
First, that Mr.. Hills plans for the
Northern Securities company do not
contemplate refunding; second. that
Northern Pacific has been considered
per cent stock for a year, and
actually paid per cent last year,
that making Northern Pacific a per
cent stock would not simplify the ru-
mored refunding operation one iota.
With regard to the delay in an
nouncing the Northern Pacific divi-
dend, 1t is to be remembered that
suit is still pending in the courts to
restrain the retirement of the pre-
ierred STOCK. This suit was brought
by Wolf Brothers of New ork in the
name of a woman client of theirs, and
has never been settled. The dividends
on the common stock are, therefore,
never announced until paid because
If they were the litigants would have
an opportunity to go into the courts
and obtain an Injunction against the
payment of the dividends pending the
settlement of the suit in question. It
is, therefore, deemed wise to declare
the dividends, anticipate their pay
ment by month or two, and then
announce their declaration. There is
nothing sharp or very unusual about
the procedure. It is done by at least
one other large railroad company
which, like Northern Pacific, has no
settled date for dividend declaration,
but declares it's dividends whenever
Its directors happen to get together.
N. p. and Milwaukee.
One Of the directors Of Northern Sc
curities. discussing Northern Pacific
as a permanent 7 per cent stock, fur
nishes a comparison between Milwau-
kee and Northern Pacific, with some
additional interesting figures and CAL
culations. 1t may be stated at once
that Northern Pacific will pay per
cent, whether that rate is declared as
regular or not. It will be remembered
that the dividends are declared under
the stay of proceedings granted by the
court, and that therefore there may
be some hesitancy in declaring a reg
ular Increased dividend. The COM
