Politicians as Bankers

The possibilities of politicians in
banking is well illustrated by the
failure of the First-Second Nation
al Bank of Pittsburg, where over
100000 is lost and over $780,
100000 of securities and money are
tied up. 1t is stated that three
years ago, finding the bank Sc
riously involved, the controller of
the currency required it to check off
as worthless nearly $1,000,000 of
the paper it was carrying and to
restore it's capital to the full
amount. From that time down to
the approval late last winter by Mr..
Murray of the merger of the First
and Second national banks, a curl
Gus state of affairs prevailed. At
first, the presidency of the First
national was offered to the United
States controller, who had attack
ed its financial soundness and he
agreed to accept the position at a
salary of $4,000 a year, provided
one of his deputies, Mr.. Telling,
was taken into the bank as vice
president. This arrangement then
fell through inasmuch as the banks
owners preferred not to provide po-
sitions for both men.
At a later date, however, Telling
was made head of the bank with the
approval of the controller of the
currency. One account has it that
Telling also received from the bank
a cash bonus of approximately $780,

little but outrageous liars who fail

could have been found at much less
expense than a congressional inves-

Lauterbach are the most degenerate
specimens of public life to be found
in America and the investigation
will doubtless place them in the pri-

England. In no other section of
the country does an equal popula-
ton enjoy this privilege. The
average rate per passenger per mile
upon the New York, New Haven
and Hartford in the year 1911 was
1.70s cents; upon the Boston and
Maine, 1901; and in the whole>
United States, 1874"
Commissioner Prouty does not
simply condemn but he suggests
remedies for the situation. Here
are some of his recommendations
What is needed nrst of all to
improve the railroad situation in
New England, is rest and opportuni-
ty for constructive work. There is
much truth in the claim of these
carriers that they have been so oc-
cupied with Investigations and so
criticised by the public that no falr
opportunity has been, given for the
operation of their railroad proper
ties. No railroad management can
succeed without the support of the
public which it serves. 1t must not
be forgotten that the railroad is a
public servant in fact as we'll as in
name, and that the service which it
renders depends largely upon the
treatment which it receives from
it's master"
81 al sc hot
freight service upon the New Haven
railroad is inferior to what it should
be, although fairly comparing with
that in other sections where condi-
tions are substantially the same;
that the freight service upon the
Boston and Maine during the period
covered was extremely poor and
justified in great measure the crit
icism it received. No satisfactory
condition can be brought about at
any points on the Boston and
Maine, however, until improvement
has been made in the facilities at
those points. There must be
betterment in the physical condition
of the property before there can be
an altogether satisfactory freight
service"
Commissioner Prouty expressly
states that the business is not in
solvent and the extracts of the re-
port which have come to our at
tention convince us that the un-
e...4,,,,o+o coalitions found ara not
necessary conditions in New Eng
land railroading but are rather the
result of expensive and eXtravagant
management The withdrawal OF
Mr.. MeIlen removes the immediate
cause of present conditions and the
elevation of Mr.. Mcdonald to the
head of the system insures an i'm
proved management that will re-
store the Boston and Maine to a
sound financial condition. Having
already given the people of New
England very reasonable freight
and passenger rates it can be expect
nancial condition will result in bet
ter equipment and more satisfactory
service. 1t hardly seems right to
continue criticism as the conditions
have been very thoroughly probed
and made public. Rather it prom
ises more benefit to this section to
so confidently expect better Things,
the new management will feel under
obligation to secure them and make
the most of the really good condi-
tions in New England. We are con-
fident the worst has already been
written concerning the Boston and
Maine.

Instead of enduring that daily
