universality Of the disease. The states
include the following: Colorado,

Washington, Feb. 26.-Bitter criticism
Of the Rock Island railway and It's
financial operations was raised by Rep
resentative Green Of Iowa. speaking IN
support of his resolution, to authorize
the interstate commerce commission to
make an investigation of that road.
The speaker compared the operations
of the Rock Island to those Of the New
Haven and Frisco systems already un-
der investigation. declared that the
panies controlled the finances of the
Rock Island, was utterly fndefensible
from any standpoint. Through tie
manipulations Of the holding COM
panies, Mr.. Green asserted, $121 .OOO. .oO1
of water was poured on the railway
company's stocks and bonds while the
fixed charges of the road had been IN
creased from 40 to 80 per cent.
The railway company never re-
cefved one dollar benefit by or
through the stock issued by the hold
ing companies" he declared. Its
origin affords financial fresbooters an
opportunity to exploit the railway
and the public"
The speaker further charged that
the millions of securities, floated by
the holding companies, "were put up
merely for the aggrandizement Of q
few men without any return being
given"
Referring to the equipment Of the
Rock Island he said: 1T is reported
that it has spent $6.OO0.000 since 1907,
for equipment hire alone and still II
