l. C. IN MISSISSIPPI.

The recent settlement, at the in
stance of the States representative,
of the anti-merger case brought by
the Attorney General OF mississippi
against the illinois Central ana hills
sissippi Valley railroads is note
worthy from the fact that 1t prob
ably marks an end OF State policy
against railroad corporations.
The suit was brought, after the
Illinois Central had acquired control
of the Valley, under an oiu statute,
since repealed, prohibiting one cor
poratlon from acquiring stock IN an
other even though they We're not com
petitors. The suit aimed TO divorce
the two lines and asked penalties
amounting to $140,000,O0O. In tile
settlement the Illinois Central pays
100000 to cover the States eX-
penses and certain penalties, but III
all other particulars the decree sus-
tains the claims of the railroads,
whose merger, expressly authorized
by the Legislature, is held entirely
legal.
The people of Mississippi are the
gamers by the outcome of the litiga-
ton extending over the period of nine
years. They would have been the
sufferers if the result had been diff
ferent.
The Valley is one of the important
lines of Mississippi and Louisiana. 1t
gave New Orleans her first direct
connection with the State capitol.
But the Valley could not stand on its
own bottom. If it had been left to
work out it's own destiny it would to-
day still be the weak and struggling
line it was when it was taken over
by the Illinois Central, one of the
greatest and most progressive of all
American transportation lines.
By the merger Mississippi obtain
ed well-equipped and finely manag-
ed road, which has added many i'm
portant local branches, and has been
and will continue to be a vital factor
in her industrial development. If the
merger had been prevented the VAL
ley could never have survived the
disasters which subsequently put so.
many of the American railroads into
virtual bankruptcy.

investment-are holding on to COM
mon and preferred stocks from which
income has ceased and which for the
present may not even be "a good
gamble.
"Some lines of industry have been
thoroughly liquidated both internally
and market wise. Their stocks today
should be bought-but bought as a
speculation by those who realize that
they are specializing. For the near
future and for years to come the
conservatively financed, efficiently
operated business will show a profit
to their stock holders. Their next
door neighbors, however, may be
headed for the sheriff's sale or scrap
heap, and dividend cuts will continue
to be present.
Decide whether you want to in
west for income or speculate foi

bonds-for speculation buy a broad
list of stocks. If you are not follow

STOCKS NOT
AN INVESTMENT
SAYS BAbSON
Famous Economist Urges Bonds For
Income.

Discussing the investment situa-
ton Roger w. Babson makes the fol-
lowing statement. Dividend cuts
have become an every day occurrence
and promise to continue at their
present rate for at least another
year.
"Last months payments on Amerl-
can industrial stocks, common and
preferred, were $8,100,000 less than
in November, 1919 and $5,300,O0O less
than in November last year. This
represents a loss of 23.7 per cent or
nearly one fourth compared with
1919 and 1876 per cent or one SIX
less than last year.
There is nothing particularly
alarming about such development
as it is but one of the characteristics
of the period of the depression IN
every business cycle.
'"The trouble lies in the fact that
the general investing public does not
seem to have been aware of this fact.
As | go about the country | am APP
palled by lists shown me-not only by
the widow and unframed youth but
by the man who is keen in his own
business. Their lists of invest
ments" are generally overloaded with
stocks which at times pay dividends.
They have counted on these as in
come and are very seriously en-
barrassed as result of the cut in
dividends. Their unfortunate posi-
ton is due to their disregard of a
very fundamental point.
"Stocks have an essential place in
our financial structure. Without the
of some funds to the
risks of production, transportation
and merchandising buying goods
with the hope of selling for profit
business could not be done. The pur-
chaser of common and preferred
stocks is furnishing money for these
purposes. His stock certificate es-
tablishes no obligation in his favor
out simply certifies that he has a
interest in the bust
ness. He is partner in the broader
sense of the word, and subjects him
self to the risks of proprietorship
md takes the profits when there are
my. One should not enter into this
position without realizing he is specu-
ating.
Investment on the other hand is
'lacing your money for a definite in
ONE. The man who buys bonds or
otes is a landlord in the broad sense
t the term. He has loaned money te
he concern and has mortgage on a
art of its real property. He must
e paid his return whether the bust
ess makes a profit or not and can
Oreclose and sell it's assets to reim-
urse himself for his original invest
tent if it is necessary to take such
5eps. His money is loaned for a
efinite period. It must be paid
ack as money at fixed date and the
greed rental must be returned at
;ated periods in the meantime. The
arket value Of good bonds rises in
roportion as its income will buy
ore food and clothes, not as par
cular line of business becomes more
less profitable. A steady and as
red income of a predetermined
mount therefore takes the place Of
