Picking Pockets One Thing;
and Promoting Is Another

The wreck-story Of the Rock Island
Railroad, as written by the Interstate
Commerce Commission, is positively
humorous, so simple and easy does Il
show the well-establshed business OF
stealing millions to be.
Today, the Rock Island is in the hands
of a receiver, Notwithstanding that It's
earnings last year were the largest in its
history.
It's stock is worth $50 as against 5000
a dozen years ago.
1t has been possible to wreck the prop
erty through misleading reports TO
stockholders says the l. c. c.
The process was like this
In 1902, the Rock Island was pros
porous and promising road in a section
bound to contribute more and more to its
prosperity.
Indeed. there were very few stock
holders who were letting 90 Of their stock
at even $500
This fine condition of the property was
a strong temptation to our leading fnan-
ciers.
What prospects of this sort needed
was promotion"
Promotion" may be defined as the
process of swelling the unwary stock
holders head until you can strip him
down to his very boots.
Three down-east promoters" bought
about one-quarter of the Rock Island
stock, elected the directors and formed
two Holding companies.
A 'holding company" may be defined
as a syndicate which so holds the stock
holder that his yels aren't heard while
he's being stripped
Into this holding scheme the stock
holders were persuaded TO pour ST., 000.-
600 of the Rock Island stock. receiving in
exchange Sl91, 100000 of the holding
companies securities.
Gee! wouldn't it swell anybody's head
to put in ST. and get out $751;
Having things fixed, with solid old
Rock Island as the basis, mind you, the
promoters proceeded to promote the stuff
fng out of Rock Island Harken
They put about S6,5o0,O00 into the
rotten old Frisco S6,40O.000 into the
Alton; over S4,50O,OO0 into the Trinity &
Brazos Valley. All lost
Then they got real gay and put over
s1,300,00O into the Consolidated Indiana
g. Deering Coal Co., following this with
$2,500,00O additional advances which
the /. c. c. says cannot be collected
