Loaded With the Present
Election Clause.

WILL MEET IN ST. LOUIS
RAILROAD HEADS TO CONFER ON
RATE SITUATION.
Presidents of Eastern Lines to Hold
Conference in New York
Shippers Jubllant.

New York, Feb 27.-The Western
railroads which have been hit in the
recent rate decision of the interstate
commerce commission are planning a
conference to be held in st. Louis
within the next few days. Although
no definite date has yet been set for
the meeting, it became known Friday
night that such a move is being ar
ranged.
The heads of the various lines in
the West will attend the convention
and lay extensive plans for cam
paign to question the decision of the
commerce commission.
A meeting of officials representing
the leading systems of the country
will confer in New York and discuss
the ruling against increased freight
rates.
Many new ideas of the harmful eff
fects of the decision are still being
advanced by railway officials and
heads but the situation seems to ap-
pear less alarming to them now than
it did Friday.
The shippers are still rejoicing over
their victory and are confident a new
era has dawned for them. They say
the move can be interpreted to mean
nothing else but an advancement and
benefit for the country at large, and
that, despite the cries of the Railroad

harmful effects will be felt

Copper Merger Enjoined

Judge Weist of Lansing handed
down an opinion on Monday granting
temporary injunction to the minority
stockholders of the Osceola Mining
company to prevent the so-called cop
per merger.
In granting the injunction, Judge
Weist holds that the state statute rela-
tive to such combination is bar to
the completion of the organization in
its proposed form. The other points
he deems too important to be decided
without iull hearing and the exam
ination OF witnesses.
The court says il the state law which
limits the amount of capital stock OF
such mergers to $40, 900, 900 allows the
proposed merger TO he completed with
$40. 600. 900 capital stock and $50, 600. :
900 in capital will then simply operate
to save the corporation from paying a
franchise fee on all above $40. 600, 900
and prevents its true capital and capt.
tai stock from being disclosed.
"No splitting OF words can change
ss2 900. 600 of property and assets con-
tributed by many companies from be-
ing what it lie in the eyes of the law,

ance with the statutes to capi a lied

The question relative to the so called
conglomerate sands, the court say:
cannot be determined except upon the
examination of witnesses and that
complaints have q right to have the
question determined as TO whether
those sands are worthless as they
charge or worth 81 900, 600, as the de
PENDANTS claim.
Judge West holds that he has juris
dietion in the case.

When the state boards ot equaiiza-

more than few surprises In store for
the board. according 10 information
which has leaked ont about the state
house.
The readers are aware that tor some
time before the session Of the state leg
islature last winter the railroad COM
panies had corps OF men working In
various sections of the state gathering
information relative TO the assessed
valuation Of properties other than rail
roads.
AT that time il was predicted hv n
great many that the information, gath
cred by what was then termed the
railroad tax commission was to be
presented 10 the legislature as evidence
that the railroads were assessed for n
greater value. according TO their hold
ings, than are the other properties in
the state. The session passed how
ever without any great demonstration
on the part OF the railroads and the
matter seemed TO have been lost sight
Of. Now comes the information that
this information is TO he presented TO
the state board OF equalization. In
fact. il has been learned that evidence
will be shown in an attempt TO prove
that at the last equalization valuation
OF the state, in 1906 certain counties
In which members of the state board
resided were under assessed in more
than one instance IL Is also stated
that the railroads have obtained infor-
nation of the.transactions of properties
in several of the counties that will
prove conclusively that some OF the
counties are under assessed over mil
lion Of dollars. Real estate transsc-
tions by the score have been gathered,
and IL is stated that the information
that will be sprung on the state board
will contain amazing evidence.
