a public discussion of the question
at this time"
"A man in the railroad business
is naturally before the public"
went on Hartman. 81 think the
time has come when the public
should understand conditions that
confront the railroads of the coun-
try today. We certainly need bet
ter understanding all the way
around. l think we should be on
a more friendly footing. And such
a condition is bound to come.
1--WE do not peed more laws,
but we need the laws that exist en-
forced along the same lines. Bust
ness conditions have been in an
unsettled condition for long time.
Everyone knows that. This condi-
ton has been brought about by a
series of conditions that were
wrong. | do not need to discuss
them. The public knows about it
as we'll as | do.
IF the so-called across the con-
tinent railroad system is put
through, it will be done with the
idea that 1t will be the best thing
for the properties and for the pub
lie, or 1t won't go through-that is
one thing sure. And again l have
have not said it will be put
through say and say plainly that
If it does happen, the one idea
that will induce the men who
would carry out the plan. to make
it a go. will be that It is wise
move for everyone"
"The political situation-will you
discuss that, Mr.. Hartmann"
81 will not" and that ended the
interview.
George Gould was seen at the
Missouri Pacific offices. He said:
81 am not at liberty to discuss
any plans until they have been
duly approved by the directors of
the lines interested. The Wabash
and the Wheeling & Lake Erie. as
everyone knows, have been stag
gering under a terrible load. This
fact has caused complications.
The man who tries to build or COM
plete a railroad In bad times has
a job on his hands.
"If a consolidation is made with
the Hartman roads, | think 1t
would be of lasting benefit to all
interests. If the so-called Harri.
man roads could secure some of
the outlets controlled by our sys-
TEN, their position would be
strengthened many times over. and
| If in return our roads had some of
the connections of the Hartman
roads. we would be in position
to show improved results.
THAT is the situation as it ap-
pears to me now. What will be
done | cannot say at this time, for
l do not know"

It is said In Wall st. that in the
near future every Gould road will
have a Hartman representative in
its directorate. II that is taken as
Q proof of Harriman's control of
those lines, it would mean that his
party of capitalists would actually
dominate 47,529 miles of railroad in
the United States, with $1,426,819,-
900 stocks and $2,018,125,0 900 bonds.
A representative of this newspa-
per saw Mr.. Hartman for Is min
utes at his home in this city. Care
fully avoiding any direct admission,
but not denying that he had Gould
where he wants him, Hartman
said:
81 have yet to find or hear of the
man who made a success by telling
of his plans before they were per-
fected and put in operation
Twill you admit, then, that the
idea Of your control of the trans
continental system has been sug-
gested?"
Suggested, why, of course it has.
Every one who is a student of the
railroad situation knows it has
been suggested.
"Will you admit that you have
the plan under way and that it will
materialize soon?"
81 admit nothing" answered Har-
riman. Don't take any stock in
man who tells the public what he is
going to do. The public Is more
interested In what he does; not
what he Is going to do.
PLENTY of people in this country
are going to do many things, only
they always put it off until tomor-
row. might say l am going to
buy every railroad in the country
or the world The public would no
doubt be mildly interested-inter-
ested to know how long 1t would be
before was under the care of ply
sicians.
81 suppose someone, some news
paper, perhaps, will be coming
along now and announce to the
world that Hartman says he Is 60
ing to buy every railroad In the
world See II they don't. That's
the trouble in talking for news
paper. A man may give an exam
pie of some impossible incident,
and some dreamer twists and turns
1t around until he gets 1t before
the public as a fact.
Recently" continued Hartman,
81 had a newspaper, or rather an
association of papers, call me up
and ask me If was backing the
Japanese government. Yes, sir.
that's fact. The report started
over the fact that some Japanese
officials called to see me, and some
question OF Japanese bonds was up
for public discussion.
