Story Explains Devices
"The devices adopted for the higher
denominations, Mr.. Glover says,
stand in his mind for little story
which aided him in selecting them:
Together they stand for America as it
might be viewed by a newly arriving
immigrant. The strangers first
thought is of the primitive dwellers
in the land, the aboriginal Indians, but
on arrival the Statue Of Liberty greets
him. the symbol Of new civilization;
the natural wonders opening to his
view in this new world are represented
by the Yosemite and Niagara and its
differing forms Of animal life by the
buffalo; from these the aliens
thoughts are supposed to turn to the
deeds of men who lived and died to
build and preserve the nation, and this
idea is marked by the Arlington amphi-
theater and the Lincoln memorial;
thence his mind turns to the Capitol
itself as the center Of national tradi-
tion and government, and SO to his
vision Of America, the final picture"

I. C. AND Y. & M. v. r. r.
MERGER SUIT SETTLED
Attorney General of Mississippi and
Railroad Office Get Together With
Payment of 10000 Penalties.

ckson.-Attorney General Robin
son has announced a settlement of the
I. G. and Y. G M. v. merger suit, by
the payment Of penalties of 100000.
This suit was brought by the former
attorney general In 1918, and the trial
OF the case was suspended during the
war, by government order.
The state claimed that the consoli-
dation of the Illinois Central and the
Yazoo and Mississippi Valley railroads
was violative of the antitrust statutes
of Mississippi
The railroad companies contended
that there was no consolidation con-
trary to law, and that such merger as
may have taken place was strictly
within their legal rights.
The transportation act of 1920, en-
acted by the federal congress, allows
the consolidation of railroad corpora,
tions, under the supervision and au
thorization of the Interstate Com.
merce Commission, Notwithstanding
any state antitrust statute to the con
trary.
Inasmuch as the Interstate Com
merce Commission is contemplating
orders in respect to these two systems
and as the attorney general was will
ing to meet federal officials in a spirit
of fairness, to accommodate the exist
ing legal complications, and TO enable
the Interstate Commerce Commission
to deal with the matter without seem
ingly infringing upon the right OF the
state, the parties have agreed upon an
amicable adjustment of the entire liti
cation.
