Mo. Pac.-l. M. Merger.

The proposed reorganization plan
of the Missouri Pacific and Iron
Mountain railroads, which have been
in r~eceiveership since Aug. 10, 1915,
was approved at Jefferson City by the
state public service commission. The
reorganization will mean that the
roads will be taken out Of the receiv-
ers hands as soon as the necessary
legal formalities can be met.
The Missouri Pacific and Iron
Mountain, which have 1000 miles of
tracks, are to be merged into one sys-
tenn and incorporated under Missouri
laws with an aggregate capital Of
$383,642,282 The commissions opin-
ion approves the proposed capitaliza-
ton.
The opinion, written by Chairman
Busby and Commissioner McQuillin
and %concurred in by the other COM
missioners, declares the reorganiza-
ton is expected to decrease the total
funded debt by $51, 938, O58, or more
than IS per cent, and to provide a
security through new first and refund
ing mortgages sufficient to meet all
the requirements of the present and
future expenditures of the system. In
addition, it says the fixed yearly
charges will be reduced from $12,951,-
1888 to $9,904,447. and that these will
come "well within the earnings, even
under adverse conditions"
There will be an assessment of $50
a share on all outstanding stock.

Washington, D. C.-W With the
American Mexican commission resum.
ing its deliberations at Atlantic City,
there was a broad intimation in both
state and war department circles that
the American troops will not soon be
withdrawn from Mexico. Discussion
of the Mexican situation, which
along with foreign relations has been
taboo during the past few days of
the political campaign, will now de-
mand immediate official attention.
This was forecast by an official
statement at the state department that
conditions both from an economic and
military point of view are In bad
shape in Northern Mexico.
AS Pershing's 10000 American
troops are strung through the very
country which Villas activities men
ace, their withdrawal at this time, war
department officials explain, would
expose the American border to more
attacks similar to the Columbus, N.
M. massacre last March.

At a meeting of the state supreme
court en- banc Judge A. M. Woodson

effect of securing for the Carranza
government a loan, although 1t may
not be for a large amount.
