MERGER OF PACIFIC
SYSTEMS IS ARGUED
Southern and Central United
Are a Benefit, I. c. c. Is Told.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 81. - The appeal
OF the Southern Pacific Company TO be
allowed to retain control Of the Central
Pacific despite a Supreme Court deci-
sion ordering the merger dissolved
came to hearing before the Interstate
Commerce Commission to-day with six
Western States. the Union Pacific Rail-
road and numbers OF communities, traf-
nc associations and stockholders appear
ing as intervcners. l.. j. Spence, dlrec-
tor OF traffic. and II. L. Burckhalter,
assistant general manager Of the merged
system. completed direct statements
supporting the application.
While the Union Pacific appeared 10
oppose the Southern Pacific position the
array OF intervcnors was divided for and
against itB proposals.
Mr.. Spence presented a study of-traf-
nc conditions on the Pacific coast, em-
phasizing particularly his statement that
the Southern Pacifc's association with
the Central Pacific has not operated to
divert transcontinental traffic southwark
and away from the Ogden route. The
two systems to-day, he insisted, we're
complementary. welded into one unit by
long association and the disregard OF
COTpOTdtt VNItTHHip uuTlHB new NoI-
struction and expansion OF terminals.
This unity would be disrupted by dis
solution, Mr.. Burckhalter asserted, add
ing. in summing Up. that the disruption
would result in an expenditure of ST.
100000 annually In additional general
expense for two companies to render
exactly the Same transportation SER
vice the Pacific coast is now receiving.
BY both witnesses, the merger OF the
two companies. now stamped as illegal.
was described as OF such long standing
as to leave them now a single unit.
The application seeks TO allow the
Southern Pacific TO retain control OF the
Central Pacific under lease until such

Economic Error.

New Jerseys forests are being
burned up at the rate Of 10000 acres
a year, which means not only that her
area Of growing forests is being re-
duced annually to that extent, but
that land which should become a pub
lie asset Of great value Is being con-
verted into a public liability OF IN
slightly and embarrassing proportions.
There are 100000 acres Of forest
land In New Jersey almost within
trucking distance Of the greatest lum-
Der market In the world, according to
the estimate Of the American Forestry
association, which offers the opinion
that sooner or later the people OF the

DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO LOVE
Gilbert Frankau Believes the Young
Woman Of Today 10 Not Capable
Of self-Saorifiee.

You have to watch the modern
dance to see the modern girl at her
most self-revealing. Regard her care
fully, this bepainted, bepowdered, b.
manicured product Of our hectic age
as she circles the ballroom. She
dances emOtionally, but her emotions
are for the rhythm and the music, not
for the mere male, her partner. Even
In q mans arms she is as nearly sex
less as the ladies Of the Lysistrata,
Gilbert Frankau writes in the Forum.
Regarding her thus. one cannot help
answering the question which stands
at the head Of this article in the most
emphatic negative. No! Give her all
her good qualities, her pOise, her ef-
f1ciency, her intelligence and you Will
still be forced to admit that-judginE
her superflcially-the modern girl Ii
not capable Of a great and enduring
love. To begin with, she Is too selfish
too self-centered, too set on the pur-
suit of what she considers pleasure,
to abandon herself to that self-sacrt
fee which is love at its best And
then, perhaps, she is too wise.
Myself, am and have always been
q strong supporter Of the civil con-
tract In matrimOny. Matrimony'
after all, is-however much senr-
mental, middle-aged fogeyB like my
self may like to regard 1t a. q pure
love Affairs legal undertaking. And
I think that It is high time for the
young man Of today to underStand
that his legal undertaking when ne
marries q self-suppOrting or an inde
pendent young woman is not confined
purely and simply to housing her. The
modern woman, you see, is something
more than q mere domesticated pet
She requires her lelsures, her pleas
ures and, more perhaps even than
these, her full partnership rights.
