Passing Impressions Of Finance
By Louis Guenther
Editor of the Financial World

The West holds to the belief that a
money trust exists. Among promoters
who are not able to get beyond the doc door
Of the. money bags arrange for the
financing of new enterprises there is
also a deep suspicion that there Is a
money or credit to anyone who is not
in their favor. But there Is no tangible
money trust. There is, however, a
community of interest among bankers
stance of a concentrated money power.
By word of mouth, or by a simple shrug
of the shoulder, 1T has been possible to
throw sufficient discredit upon new
venture or security to kill all hope OF
it's hackers to obtain financial aid.
1 am not saying this on mere hearsay,
/ have confirmation from the signifi-
cant admission made by a witness be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. This witness was president OF
a large New York Trust Company, who,
in pleading that interloching directors
v ere performing constructive duty,
frankly said that railroads need bank
ers as directors since their presence on
sary credit. He cited the Kansas City
Mexico and Orient as an illustration OF
his point that the absence of bankers
from the board of that road brought
about the financial embarrassment of
the Orient system.
To the public this statement will
read rather strangely. II. will be as
sumed from it that If the Kansas City
Mexico and Orient had basked in the
sunshine of favor of our large bankers
1t could have secured readily what
money was needed to finish the line.
Such Is the power of money. A money
trust need not be Incorporated; it is
possible to establish it by community
of spirit among bankers.
Even the announcement from Presi-
dent Bush. of,the Missouri Pacific, that
roads $25,000,000 of notes this Fall has
not served to divert attention from the
financial plight in which the remaining
so-called Gould roads find themselves
although they have so far succeeded in
keeping out of the courts. For the am
bition of George Gould to be the first
American to have a railroad running
under his own ownership from the At
lantic to the Pacific, the public has had
to pay heavy toll.
1t had cost the Denver and Rio
Grande alone more than 100000, 900 of
its income to feed its offspring, the
Western Pacific, since 1t was built and
drain stopping. 1t has cost the Den
yer and Rio Grande security holders a
loss in market value In their shares
since 1908 of more than $55,000. 600
