TWO RAILROAD MERGERS
 ARE RECORDED

The Erie railroad board having decided in favor of consolidating with the Nickel Plate railroad, 1t looks as if the Van Sweringens will be able to swing the gigantic mcr- ger as originally intended, making ot the Nickel Plate railroad @ vast system Of 14,O0O miles.
 This action ny the Erie closely follows the consolidation of tho Missouri Pacific and half dozen smaller southwestern railroads - although the lines are not very small from the standpoint of mile age. The Missouri Pacific is little more than a name to New Eng flanders. but to citizens of the southwest it is as well known as the New Haven is in New England. The Missouri Pacific will become a system of more than 10000 miles.
 A peculiarity of the Missouri Pa- cifc merger is that the firms which engineered the deal obtain fees to- talling more than s1,QoQ,n00. sev- eral members of the Interstate Commerce Commission regarded the fees as much too high. Which leads to the query, if the merger pro motors of the Missouri Pacific re- ceived sI,o0O,o0O for their work, what are Sthe Van Swcringon brothers entitled 10 receive for their extraordinary labors in merg- ing the Nickel Plate and the other big systems they are placing under their jurisdiction? So far the Van SwerinEens haven't talked about fees or bonus salaries at all, The difference appears 10 be that the Missouri Pacific merger englneers were persons outside the railroad proper. while the Van SworinF"ns are identfed with the railroad.

Reasons Why Bingham Should Not
 Go to Senate.


 Reasons Why Bingham Should Not Go to Senate.
 1ot Harrison St..
 New Britain, Conn, Dec. IS, 1924. Editor New Britain Herald:
 A serious objection to giving new power to MT. Bingham--and his fricnds--is a law passed by the Gen 'oral Assembly in 1921 with Mr. Bing- ham presiding over the Senate. 1t seems 10 have escaped public atton- ton.
 Chapter 2s7 of the Laws of 1921 is amazing.
 Under this law, the Nutmeg state may in a few years bo the land Of the Yellow Peril.
 This brief measure give street rail- ways the unrestricted right to ac- qnire bus lines operating over fixed routes.
 Simple? Consider the possibilities.
 A few hundred dummies in the field, transfer of ownership made at fancy prices, and then bright colored buses careering over all the main streets and highways of the state.
 Next, large stock and bond issues put into the hands of innocent hold CTS, with of course some incidental profit and the perpetual street rail- way franchises given or otherwise acquired a generation ago, now les sening in value under competition, virtually renewed. Eight and ten cent fares for a generation?
 Do the people want Chapter 2S7 made the policy of the nation. with Muscle Shoals, the water power of the country, the Alaska railroad and the vast resources of Alaska in coal and oil to follow the course of our oil reserves and great tracts of public land on the Pacific coast. part Of which the government has tried to regain by legal proceedings?
 MT. Bingham is apparently an es- timahle gentleman standing honestly for the principles of King George III. His opposition to direct nomina- tions is natural.
 MT. Baer. the r. x F. Railway president, sturdy defender of the coal magnates and opponent of Presi dent Roosevelt when the latter was seeking to limit the power of the coal carrying roads twenty years ago, was a man of similar type.
 The people of Connecticut are not yet converted, the writer contends, to the theory of rule by divine right, the superiority of machine chosen public officials and the Baer theory of divinely chosen trustees for the property of the state and nation.
 Public opinion controls, however elections may go: The fate of the sales tax plan Is ono illustration.
 The writer contends that if peti- ticns were circulated through the state now calling for the repeal of Chapter 2s7 and the establishment of genuine direct primary system, the General Assembly meeting in January would not dare 10 ignore public sentiment regardless of the attitude of party bosses or even the Union of Prominent Citizens.
 Yours truly,
 J. B. ALLEE.

RORiBACK'S COT PON TEST PROVES \ BOOMERANG


 J Henry Roraback tho real ls.ue in the senatorial election to- morrow -- may have the customary optimism of a state chairman re- sarding the outcome, but there are other things 10 woffy about.
 The chief center of friction is in Waterbury, where the Republican of that city has opened a species Of warfare that will continue until long after the election Is over,
 On the front page of that mili- tant journal appears a two-coumn box inviting readers to vote as to whether Connecticut wants a new Republican state chairman. A hauly ballot is furnished to make 1t easy for cmbattled citizens to take in hand their trusty lead pen cils.
 Here is what the box says
 If you are dissatisfied -- if
 you feel that Connecticut
 should have q new state chair
 man one who is politically
 clean, personally straightfor-
 ward and not Republican for
 revenue only - fill in the blank
 below and mail jt to the J.
 Henry Rorab back Editor, the
 Waterbury Republican, Water-
 bury Conn"
 How this campaign of roprisals came about is rather an interesting story. It appears that J. Henry has bccn irritated at the mild strictures given him by the Waterbury Re- publican and started a voting ron- fest with coupons Explains the Re publican:
 "I. Henry RorahacN has started q voting contest. He has let the He- publican state central committee ont of his pocket long enough for it 10 publish a oue-1ay, four-page campaign sheet devoted principally 10 tho Waterbury Republican. On i's first page appears an appeal headed Does Waterbury Want a New Morning Haper' Underneath is a coupon on which the reader is invited to subscribe to the belief that Waterbury should have a new morning newspaper -- edited by J. Uoury Roraback.
 I've believe ill coupons. too. We thought that the only kind Of Cou- nons I, Henry Rorabac believed III were The coupons of the Con uoct.cut Light and Power Co. gold bonIa. or whatever securities it was he got in exchange for the Uousatooc river water rights whirn he mluc"l the Connpcticnt General Assembly 10 present to him and hls associates. This is the first time !. Henry has ever shown any ton3urss for any other kind of cou- pon@ and the first time he has ever hrM a voting contest. Usually he doos not believe in letting tho peo- pie vote until he has prepared their ballots for them However, for once hh is actually making an effort 10 ascertain pnbic opinion and should he encouraged. If you believe that Waterbury needs new morning paper more than Connecticut needs a new Republican state chairman, sign his ballot. If you believe that Connecticut needs q new Repuhli- can state chairman m0ro than Waterbury needs new morning papcr slgn ours, printed on page one t9day.'
 Chances arc that had J. Henry hal sufficient prescicnc" to toresec what a dismaJ turn thg coupon busi- ness would take he would have ex- crcisod more Of the Coolidge cau- ion in starting such thing, Now he win have 10 take the conso- ouao~cs. for there is scarcely A douh. as 10 how toe majority of rour,r signors will vote,
