Naturally enough tho largest rallroad
receivership in the country's history
slowed up the stock market. Al the
same time due reflection on the Rock
Island AFFAIR leads to the conclusion
that II did not contain much material
for pess mistic argument about the
prospect even II II should be followed by
BANKRUPTCY proceedings against one or
two more distressed railroads which
are skirting the edge of insolvency.
Scandaluus aspects of the history OF the
Rock Island. as OF other carriers which
have come into receivership. have been
duly exploited and are as stale as the
past to which they belong. Something
like $4,000 miles OF railroads are now
in the hands OF receivers involving
moro than a billion dollars OF bonded
debt and about half billion dollars of
stock capitalization. The ratio between
the two classes of capital issues goes
very far to tell the true story OF the
causes OF railroad difficulty and points
tho way out.
An oppressively severe political cru
SADIE against the railroads has forced
excessive recourse 10 the credit market
for capital. but public policy has taken
a new turn of late and the tokens are
that the railways will be permitted in
the future a larger liberty TO earn
| money and so restore the hope of profit
to railroad shareholders. The real sig
nlficance of the Rock Island receivership
| Is that il il another manifestation OF
the disposition among corporate man
| agements to put affairs in shape for an
era OF reconstruction and new construc-
ton. II there should be other episodes
! Il the same sort now they are not likely
! to have detrimental consequences The
! economic tide has turned These thing 5
are parts of the past. They make the
mood OF financial and business opti-
msm less ecstasic and more desirably
sober. but il Is not probable that they
| will be more than momentarily regarded
as anything save n welcome termination
| of strain and uncertainty and as supply
Ing opportunity for lnaugurating proc
esses OF sound rehabilitation.
The basis Of the stock ma rket strength
this spring is not affected by superficia l
| occurrences. The present structure OF
quoted values rests on foundations pro-
vided by an enormously liquidated po-
stion in securities and IN the lquidat ed
conditions OF general business. The fac.
tors which have been working to raise
the price structure range all the way

PENDLETON WILL NOT Be

NEW STATUTE REGARDING TAN

CITY'S CHARTER.
