afford no collateral for new issues
nor secure new loans.
"The Importance of reestablishing
railroad credit cannot be overestimat-
ed" said Judge Lovett, "but, never
theless, l am persuaded that no guar
anty short of a return upon the full
value of railroad property will be
helpful to that end, and that a
guaranty of full value is not practi-
cable without Government operation,
which I regard as beyond present dis
cussion."

UNION PACIFIC
HEAD OPPOSES
RAILROAD PLAN
Pres. LOvett Sends Memo
randum to Congress
Impairs Credit

NEW YORK, July 12-Consoli-
dation of all the railroads of the
United States into a few large sys-
tens from twelve to twenty-five as a
possible solution of the Nations rail
road problem, is opposed by Robert
S. Lovett, president of the Union
Pacific Railroad, in a memorandum
to members of Congress made public
here today.
For a considerable period of the
war, Judge Lovett was director of the
Division of Capital Expenditures of
the government railroad administra-
ton under William G. McAdoo as
Director-General. In this position,
from which he has since resigned,
Judge Lovett had charge of all i'm
provements and extensions.
The effect of the proposed CONSOLE
dation would be in his opinion "to
impair the credit of the strong road,
instead of improving the credit of
the weak road. The inevitable eff
feet would be to reduce the average
of the credit of all the railroads.
Congress-" he asserted, "has no
right to compel one railroad to con-
solidate with another. 1t may give
one the right to acquire the property
of the other by condemnation but it
must pay for it and, here is the diff
Guilty, pay for it in cash.
"The underwriting of a fabulous
amount must be provided. Will
Congress appropriate the billions nee
essary? Have we bankers enough to
provide the money except through a
series of years? And what will hap
pen to the financial welfare of the
country into few companies, because
"My Judgment is against the con-
solidation of all the railroads of the
country into few companies because
I believe the companies will be too
large and unwieldly for efficient and
economical management
81 believe that the absorption of
some of the weak lines by the strong
lines, upon fair terms, should be pro-
NOTED but competition in service and
facilities should not only be preserved
but should be extended"
Judge Lovett also opposed the plan
which has been discussed for pooling
the net earnings of railroads by divid-
ing them into group and establish
ing rates sufficient to yield six per
cent or some other specified return
on the book values of each group.
Earnings in excess of the average, he
pointed out, wouldbe set aside for the
improbable roads that earn less,
"Thc substantial object sought, !"
he declared, "is to take, directly or
indirectly from the stockholders of
the prosperous roads net earnings of
their properties and give the same
to the security holders of the weak

DROP SPEED TRAP"
Connecticut Officials Find individuals
Reap Profit at Expense of
State and Autoists

HARTFORD, Conn, July 12-
"Speed traps" by which hundreds of
automobiles have been caught by
local constables, brought before JUS
tees of the peace and fined, are to
be eliminated in Connecticut under a
new law which became effective July
l. Fines imposed under that system
have benefited individuals.
The State law affecting AUTOMOBILE
lists hereafter is to be enforced by the
Automobile Department of the state.
Local regulations, however, are to
continue in force.
Under the new law enacted by the
General Assembly there is no speed
limit, but recklessness may still be
penalized irrespective of speed.
Standing trolley cars may not be
passed without great care. The
Automobile Department will main
tain highway patrols whose authority
is broad enough to complain on WISH
BILE evidence of excessive speed or
recklessness, the department to pros
ecute in manner that will not hold up
permanently a touring party and
which will enable the accused driver
to defend himself.
On the other hand the new law is
designed to protect motorists against
short measure, by requiring inspec-
ton of the garages by agents of the
Automobile Department.
In some places where local option
has so decided moving picture EXPOSE
tons will be held Sunday evenings.
This is characterized as the first real
breach in the "blue laws" of colonial
times which, among other restrictions
provided that man might not kiss
his wife on Sunday.
