Morgan Behind 1t.

Evidently the railroad fnanciers have
the same feeling. Back of the move OF
the Great Northern is undoubtedly the
counsel of J. p Morgan. who has re-
organized more railroads than any other
man in the world, and who knows this
problem better rhan perhaps anybody
else. MIR. Morgan is confident that, as
TO the roads in whose finances he has
been concerned, he can show that their
valuations are not excessive. Perhaps,
incidentally. he has i'm mind 10 make
trouble FOR certain rival systems-nOJ-
ably the Hartman cOmbination-whic
are believed TO represent the greatest
eXCesses in this regard.
To establish this idea that the rail-
roads are not OvcrcapitaiiZed would
without question do more to restore con-
ndence among investors than anything
else. The fear that the Government
proposes a regime of secuTiues-sQueeZ-
ing is responsible for more of the pres
ent misgiving Of the public. than any
other one cause This is tie testimony
of people who study the question from
all sides In taking the lead 10 show
that the popular belief In OvercapMal-
iZaUiOn is all wrong. the Morgan inter
ests are really, ia the opinion Of the
best observers here, doing the service

Something like a united onset of the

come 10 the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, to break down the new rate
and other regulation laws that the
States have been passing this winter.
President Stickney, of the Chicago
Great Western, sounded the keynote
when he declared in an interview that
lie proposed to force from the Supreme
Court decision as to whether State
regulations. which unduly reduce rail-
road incomes, may be regarded as in
teTfeTiug with interstate commerce and
are therefore unconstitutional Mr..
Sdckney expressed confidence that he
would win on this contention, and estab-
lish the proposition that State regu!a-
tons which in any desree interfere Nth
are unconstitutional.
Now the statement is made by a mem
Der of the Interstate Commission that

has decided to raise exactly the same
point in an injunction action in Missouri.
