There are two fellows On this
paper that the paper Is lucky to
have, because they have the In

ton. William Hard IS the other
one.
Our crusade In behalf Of poIitica

Saturday at the Press Club, where
we were on hand to meet w. y.

: Amid gales OF laughter, Mr..

the rather welI.used tale about

But another tale was not so
terrible.

AT the conclusion Of the little

Many Railroad Mergers Being
Planned, Business to Profit
By Lower Transportation Costs

BABSON PARK, Mass, Dacem-
Der 10. - Contemplated mergers
have played large part in the pop
ularity of railroad securities in both
stock and bond markets. In discuss
ing this current development in the
railroad industry. today. Roger W.
Babson, statistician, offers some
very interesting suggestions.
"The air is full ot prospective
railroad mergers, say Mr.. Babson.
''The old, inefficient and disastrous
method Of operating pieec-meal
short lines is over.
lone of the first mergers that
las come to tho public eye and
shich is sill in process is that Oh
the Nickel Plate. Another one
which is in process and. by the way,

is the Missouri Pacific combination.

these points the system Will con
tiuae % the Pacific Coast. although
rhe western extension from Salt
Il ke City will ba over the lines Of
the Western Pacific. which though
not controlled by Missouri Pacific,
has community of interest with
the latter each owning one-half of
the common stock of the Denver
and Rio Grande, a recently reorgan-
lied road. From ST. Louis and Kan
sas City the consolidated system
viii also extend southwark 10 the
! Gulf Of Mexico.
Already application has been made
for control Of New Orleans, Texas
and Mexico and its subsidiary, In
ternational-Great Northern. As il
already controls Texas and Pacific
il is a foregone conclusion that the
Missouri Pacific Will have strong
hold on the great empire state o.
Texas.
"'Those who have not investigat

state, and for that matter, the who'll
southwest is developing. The mex

mont. While the Missouri Pacific
has more or less direct connection
with these places at the present
time, the inclusion of the Kansas
City Southern would provide a most
direct route from Kansas City TO
the Gulf. At present the latter
road is engaged in eontesting an
alleged substantial und>rvaluation
of the system on the part of the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
The road would naturally benefit
from 4 consolidation with Missouri
Pacific, which has 4 relatively high
valuation.
"The Chicago and Eastern Hi
nois would afford am entrance to

the same purpose. This road af-

Students of the transportation

Mr.. Box replied that he would be
pleased to appear before the Senate
committee the Senators became more
tractable and said they were going
TO find out about this peace propa-
ganda" When AR. Box told the
committee his great purpose in trying
to help America by supplying the
money for the American Peace Award.
they insisted on knowing. how much
did it COST And when Box said he
didn't know. and wouldn't tell. the
same Senators got mad all over again.
In order to placate them Mr.. Box
said he would submit the whole coll
lection OF more than 1900 plans to
the Senate. and let that body decide
on the best plan, and that he would
also put up a hundred thousand dol
lars for a prize and a national refer
endum. Even that didn't seem to sat
sly the Senators.

Animals that Hiss

United States Senators Copeland OF
New York. and Magnus Johnson Of
Minnesota, have complained that they
have been Kissed as the result OF
statements made in recently delivered
speeches. Despite their denials they
both act peeved. They should have
remembered the retort OF a former
statesman who greeted a volley Of
Kisses with the shot that only snakes
and men ever hiss" Senator Cope
land Is developing as a very good type
OF statesman. and he has hopes of
becoming as proficient in that line as
he IS in his regular profession as a
Doctor OF Medicine. As for the Hon
orable Magnus Johnson it may be
said that he behaves like a regular
fellow in the Senate He has made
his maiden speech" and although it
was not very thrilling. still it answered
very well as an initial bow.
Fall Faces the Facts
When he was Secretary OF the In
terror. Albert Fall leased some OF the
great Government oil properties to
private individuals There was
good deal OF criticism OF this course
at the time. but Mr.. Fall was sustained
by other government officials in his
claims that the government got more
returns from the private leases than
would be received through any other
method. The most serious charge
against Mr.. Fall at the time was that
he was playing into the hands OF the
big oil men. but no one questioned
his honesty. There followed rumors
that the cordial relations that had ex-
isied between President Harding and
Secretary Fall, and which had begun |
n the Senate. had become strained. '
Fall had resigned from the Senate TO I
