the legality of this merger under the
Antitrust Law. Commissioners Gle
ments and Marble, however, append a
statement to the report saying that in
their opinion the connection between
these roads should be dissolved; "a
closer superintendent with CORES
ponding gains in efficiency and safety
might be expected from a dissolution
of merger" The passenger service
of the New Haven is found to be first
class, while it's freight service is good.
Rates are declared to be, in general,
reasonable. When Commissioner
Prouty comes to the bookkeeping me-
thods of the New Haven, he declares
that they largely becloud its opera
tions," and that such methods should
not be tolerated" The Boston and
Maine leasing system is declared vic
ious. A number of the New Haven
trolley and railroad deals are discuss
ed at some length, and it is shown that
these outside ventures were conduct
ed almost uniformly at loss. "
Hence, Our general conclusion is
that the outside financial operations
of the New Haven company for the
last nine years have been wasteful in
the extreme and that the methods by
which those operations have been con-
Quoted are unnecessarily involved and
complex. The reason for this is as
apparent as the fact itself The pres
ent management of that company
started out with the purpose Of con-
trolling the transportation facilities of
New England. In the accomplishment
of that purpose it bought what must
be had and paid what must be paid
To this purpose and its attempted exc
cution can be traced every one OF
these financial misfortunes and de-
reflections. Literary Digest.

The Boosters of this city, owning
autos, are reminded that next Sunday
a large number of Salt Lake men Will
be the guests of the Commercial club
and of this city. If such boosters have
not done SO they should call up the sec
rotary of the Commercial club and offer
the services of their cars. Show the Salt
Lake men good time. Make them
talk about the great Twin Falls coun-
try and it's hospitable spirit when they
get back to their homes. Create the
impression that Twin Falls is up to
the minute and that its business men
are backing the city at every stage OF
the game. BY so doing you are doing
more to help this city than by any
other way. Make the Salt Lake men
lose the idea that Twin Falls is un-
friendly to the Utah city. Make them
lose the impression that was formed
on their last trip that Twin Falls nos
pitality is tickle and that its business
men have a special brand OF hide
bound dollar diplomacy.

missioner Prouty's discussion of the
New Ravens financial deals as no
more than confession that he does
not understand some parts of the COM
pany's bookkeeping" Mr.. Prouty, it
continues, "Affirms that the financial
conditions are sound, and that the
properties bought are of substantial
and increasing value. In regard to
what may strictly be called railroad
ins-that is to say, the actual service
rendered week in and week out by our
railroad lines-Mr. Prouty places
these lines level with the best man
aged railroad companies in the United
States. When one comes down to
the affirmative propositions of actual
and regular performance, even Mr..
Prouty really says that Mr.. Mellen has
conducted the railroad system of New
England we'll within the lines of fin
ancial safety, and with an experiences
in the strict field of railroading that
makes a comparison of our railroad
system with the best in the country
not merely necessary but advantage
ous."
On the other hand, while consider
ing this matter of actual service" it
might be noted that only day after
the publication of the Prouty docu-
ment, came Commissioner McChords
report holding the New Ravens man
agement responsible for the wreck at
| Stamford, Conn, on June II. The
commission stated that the establish
ment of safer and more efficient oper-
alton Of this railroad is Immediately
necessary if congressional legislation
extending the scope of governmental
| regulation of railroads is not to be
called for and justified in the inter.
ests of public safety"
| The Interstate Commerce Commits.
sions report on the New Haven fin
ances is document of some 10000
| words. The point upon which the
newspapers lay the chief emphasis in
their summaries is the wastefulness
of the road. Had the New Haven con
fined itself to actual railroad activ-
| tiles it might have paid dividend OF
| 8 per cent in 1912 and had surplus
of $1,794,000 instead of deficiency Of
| $4,000, says the commission. The
| New Ravens agreement with the Bos.
ton and Albany is declared to be
against the spirit of the Antitrust
Law, and should be Cancelled, and the
New Haven is recommended to divest
itself of it's trolly lines, although the
present ownership is not in violation
Of the law. The Boston and Maine
merger with the New Haven, we are
| assured, will result in IAN almost alb
solute monopoly of transportation fac
ilities by railroads in the greater par
Of New England" though the commits
sion refuses to make any estimate O

sanction the oft-advanced belief that
what was wrong with the New Hav-
en-" was simply bad case of mono
poly madness" or "megalomania"
The commission condemns the out
side financial management" of the
road as "wasteful in the extreme"
But the critics who have been saying
these things themselves for years pre-
fer to pass on to the suggestions for
remedy which are contained in the re-
port. All betterment, says Mr.. Prouty
for the commission, must begin with
the assurance that the New Haven
management will act not only pru-
IDENTIFY, but above all within the letter
and the spirit of the law" "Construc-
lively" notes the Boston Journal, the
commission recommends that the
agreement with the Boston and AL
bany be Cancelled and that the New
Haven divest itself of it's trolly lines.
Congress is asked to prohibit not only
the New Haven, but all interstate
roads from spending money or ac-
quiring properties not in the opera
ton or the legitimate Improvement of
it's line. Furthermore, the federal
government should give it's approval
before any interstate road leases or
buys any other road or acquires its
stocks and securities or issues any
stocks or bonds save for the operation
and Improvement of it's line. In gen.
eral, a greater degree of national SUI
pervision is the corrective. If the New
Haven is permitted to continue in con-
troll of the Boston and Maine, there
must be somewhere a power of regula-
ton coextensive with the monopoly;
| this also the federal government must
assume"
The commissions detailed condem-
nation of the New Ravens fiscal poll
cies, of course, meets with the assent
of those newspaper critics whose pre-
vious attacks on the road now seem
officially justified. And the Spring
field Republican, Boston Transcript
and Journal, New York World, Tri-
bune and American. and Providence
Journal go on to hint that Mr.. Mel
lens days of usefulness are nearly
ended In the light Of this report
thinks The Transcript, "the resigna-
ton of Mr.. Mellen from the presidency
of the Boston and Maine can only be
regarded as the forerunner of his re-
tirement from the head of the whole
New Haven system" Yet lone who
reads between the lines" of the report
according to the Boston Advertiser
will be convinced that President Mel
len is an efficient railroad manager
and that with proper conditions, he
will still be able to keep the New Hav-
en- on high plane OF efficiency and
safety" And the still more friendly
Hartford Courant looks upon all Com

that with the exception of Filler, KIM
berly, Hollister and Murtaugh, that the
whole county seems to be opposed to
good roads or bond issue. If the bonds
would increase taxes opposition could
be expected in every portion of the
county. But with the bond issue cut
ting the tax levy for roads the only
reason that can be assigned is opposi-
ton to the county seat, which motive
is certain to have actuated those in
Bull. The Times believes that such
feeling is unwarranted and indefensi-
BILE. The county seat has paid the
bigger portion of the taxes and it has
not at any time hogged the road mon
les. On the other hand it has not TAX
en- it's fair allotment and has tried to
play fair with all sections of the coun-
ty. The two towns lying closest to
Twin Falls, Kimberly and Filler, have
always had friendly relations and pro-
badly feel that they are given square
deal The opposition manifested in
Bull, while expected, has no real rea-
son back of it and is merely the result
of misguided action on the part of a
few hot heads in each city. The re-
suit of the election has shown one
thing clearly, and that is Twin Falls
can take care of itself and will have
to do so until the time comes for
sane reasoning on the part of the peo-
pie all over the county.

FEDERAL CENSURE OF A GREAT
RAILROAD SYSTEM.

FEDERAL CENSURE OF A GREAT
RAILROAD SYSTEM.
Never before has the Interstate
Commerce Commission seen fit to pill
lory great railroad system by delv-
ing into it's financial affairs and then
publishing a full report condemning
the fiscal management of the road in
unmeasured terms, and the press
agree that such federal censure of the
New Haven road is bound to have i'm
portant effects not only upon the sys-
tenn Immediately concerned, but upon
the transportation interests of the
whole country. The practically stimuli
taneous publication Of the Interstate
Commerce Commissions seathing de-
nunciation of President Mellen's man
agement of the New York, New Haven
& Hartford and of the news of Mr..
Mellen's retirement from the presi-
dency of the Boston and Maine, APP
pear to the Boston Transcript ito
mark the beginning Of the end Of the
unfortunate condition" into which the
New Haven road has been plunged.
And the New York Evening World,
considering the commissions expo
sure OF the New Ravens financial do
ings, is of the belief that the whole
"Mellen theory of railroading is ex-
ploded." The eastern press are hard
ly surprised that the Interstate Com
merce Commission should officially

The victory for the bond issue, while
a mighty good thing for the whole
county, still has its unpleasantness IN
the opposition developed In the farm
ing center. There was no question
about the benefit to every portion OF
the county in voting the bonds. There
was nothing to fog the issue. For
these reasons it is wholly apparent
