Southern Pacific
May Take Over the
Orient R. R. Soon

Interest has been aroused during
the past few days in reports that the
Southern Pacific Lines might take
over the Kansas City, Mexico g. Or
lent railway, which. according to the
statements its presen { management
is about to give up the ghost unless
federal assistance, through the rail
labor board and the interstate com
merce commission, or purchased by
some other system, saves II. AT the
recent convention Of the West Texas
Chamber Of Commerce at Plainview,
the plight Of the Orient was discuss
ed with some concern, not only by
delegates from the communities d.
rectly on and adjacent TO its line. but
By representatives from all parts Of
West Texas. At that time II was stat
ed. upon apparently good authority,
that service on the Orient would be
suspended within thirty days il re-
lief failed to come.
Color TO the Southern Pacific
story. which was somewhat discussed
as rumor at the convention, is CIV
en- bv three facts One is the connec-
ton Of the Orient with the Southern
Pacific at Alpine, giving that road
a long tap up within striking distance
Of Kansas City, and the relationship
Of the Orient's lines in Mexico, now
disiointed, to Southern Pacific rail
strategy in the southern republic.
The second is the general belief that
the Southern Pacific and Rock T.
land may become one system at some
not far distant time, as Is foreshad-
owed by the Ripley rail consolidation
plan now being considered by the in
terstate commence commission. The
Orient would form a convenient link
between the Rock Island and South
ern Pacific systems. The third fact
is the expected presence IN Texas
within a short time Of one or more
directors Of the Southern Pacific,
whose interests are affected by both
roads.
For Fort Worth such a purchase
would be significant, il the Southern
Pacific could be induced 90 construct
the proposed Fort Worth-Plains rail-
road. linking the Orient with Fort
Worth and with the Plains. The
Santa Re has been considered by
good Judges Of railroad conditions
and strategy the logical system to
build the Plains connection, for the
Plains are at preset an almost ex-
elusive Santa Fe empire. But there
are reasons why the Southern Pacific
might be interested. one Of them be-
ing the possibility Of a line from
North Texas 90 the Pacific Coast,
eliminating the long haul via Hearne
and San Antonio.
The student Of railroad strategy
has many interesting moves on the
table Of Texas 70 observe just now.

with the Katy's sale Of its discon-
nected East Texas lines 20 Beaumont

Ruling on the Injunction

Judges Charles N. Hough, John c.

Federal Statutory Court yesterda~. re-
served decision at the close O. the
argument in the injunction proceedings
instituted by the New York Telephone
Com oany, TO restrain the Public Serv-

City to be recognized as a party de-
fondant was denied, but pcrm;ssi on
was granted The municipal authorities
to file ahidavits through counsel for
the commission. Pending the courts 5
decision, thc temporary injunction
granted March 81 was continued.
At the close Of argument, Judge
Hough, who as a circuit judge presided
over the court, declared that the only
question to bo taken under considera-
ton was whether the new schedule
was confiscatory, adding that there vas
no difference between temporary and
permanent confiscatien. By this
statement he dismissed The conten'

as counsel for the commission, had
raised the point of conflicting authority
and ENHANCEMENT Of procedure, and de-
clared that rate-making was func-

that this would make impossible a
profit OF more than 2.56 per cent or the
cost of its property. or l.06 per cent
on its reasonable value. Judge Hale
had little to say in court on this point,
contenting himself with denial Of the
defendants position. He submitted

plaintiffs estimates, ranging from

Attorney General Charles D. Newton
asked and received permission to tie
