tive forces. probably in their day the greatest in the world, whose achieve ments demonstrated until the govern ment took the railroads, the American mastery of railroad diplomacy, construc- tion and upbuildng, acknowledged no authority to which they were compelled to yield. Their stockholders willingly recognized this supreme authority, and they felt justified in doing that because the returns in the form of dividends and the appreciation of stock were satisfac- tory.
 Since Director General McAdoo, by stupendous stroke of financing or the exercise of stupendous financial power, has granted the railroads increase in rates by an amount which must stagger the imagination of the interstate com merce commission and has authorized the issuing of fresh capital aggregating nearly S1.60O, ,o00,oc0, and has furthermore coinci5ently removed the railroad pres idents from their posts of authority, the question has been frequently asked in the financial district what would E. H. Hartman or James J. Hill or c. F. Huntington, OUT greatest railroad build CTS, or even A. J. Cassatt, do if they were alive when informed by their superior, who is in possession of absolute power, that they were of a sudden removed from

Harri- man would accept cordially whatever relation to the railroads the director gen. eral might find it expedient to place them in. They would serve the govern ment to The best of their ability recog- nizing that this action, although taken by MT. ATcAdoo is the action of their government.
 When Colonel Roosevelt as President said somewhat excitedly to a friend who recommended a certain man for ap- pointmeat as interstate commerce com missioner, T suppose you and the fail- road men would like to see me appoint James J. Hill as interstate commerce commissioner instantly the reply came: Mir. President. if you appoint Mir. Hill as interstate commerce commissioner he would give to the commission the same jealous and devoted service which has characterized his relation to the Great Northern system" That it is now the belief would be the attitude of the great est of American railroad constructors Hill Hartman and Huntington-in case they were now living and were affected ,y Director General MeAdoo's order.
