reason has to do with the fact that all rail-
roads, and especially Great Northern,
paid various extra dividends, either in the
form OF stock in other companies or
rights to new stock, about ten years
ago, and that conditions are no longer
favorable for distributing large extra prof
Its. But most railroad stocks have fallen,
and perhaps for more general reasons
Zen years ago was the boom period for
railroad stocks just as the present is the
great boom period for copper, zinc, mu-
milton, shipping, oil, automobile, and
many other industrial and mining issues.
Railroad shares seemed to have the same
speculative possibilities in 1905 and 1906
as the happiest of the war-brides have
to-day.
Hill and Hartman were engaged in
mortal combat, One could never tell how
high or how low they would drive the
price of stock. Once they sent Northern
Pacific up to $1,000 share. There were
other great railroad kings, and all of them
were fighting one another and either
boosting or depressing their own and
others stock
1t was the day of stock dividends,
extra "melons" of all sorts, mergers,
excitement, and change in general in the
railroad field. Spectators fed on dreams
of giant mergers. Hill and Hartman both
put through several great deals; but
finally Hartman killed himself from over
work and Hill grew old
Day of Railroad Kings Past
NOW the day of giant railroad mergers
y and railroad kings like Hartman is
over. Hill himself is dead. Giants of
finance no longer play with railroads.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
and about fifty State railroad commissions
won't let them Gradually men see ahead,
perhaps far and nearly all reluctantly, the
specter of government ownership. Gradu-
ally, through government regulation at
least, private opportunity for big specu-
lative profits. almost private ownership
itself, is being squeezed out of railroads.
Bonds and stocks of these concerns are
becoming simply uninteresting invest
ments, perhaps later on to become form
of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS obligation,
with decidedly limited profits. At pres
ent railroad profits are limited by gov
ernment; but they are not guaranteed
against loss.
