cite will be the last home con.

Il final worthwhile contest of the
year on a local field, except
the meeting Thanksgiving day be-
tween Catholic University and George
Washington. The game in which G.

entirely of local flavor. and the one
Saturday between the Pennsylvan-

last opportunity Washingtonians will
have this season of watching big

Georgetown's remaining games are
with Boston College at Boston. with
Fordham at New York. and With the
All-Army eleven at Columbus, Ohio.
No doubt Blue and Gray alumni, who
make their homes in Washington will
turn out in force, while the fans in
general will be on hand just to watch
a good foot ball game.
Lafayette is sure to bring to Wash

good foot ball. despite its rather

ne ARMY Is now observing the one

team, which Lieut.. Farwick is coach
ing, convinces the writer that if a New
York Military Academy boy named
Bowman were eligible to play on the
varsity there would be fireworks in
the Notre Dame and Navy games.
Whether or not the Army will fol-
low the Navy in adopting a rule, ef-
fective January !, next, that no stu

of varsity foot ball, and that the years
he may have played on college
eleven shall be included in this total,
is problematical
Rumblings from Annapolis indicate
that the Navy will ask the Army to
adopt the rule. Inasmuch as West
Point has a student enrolment of
200, less than half that of the Navy.

emy could hardly do this with the ex-

EDWARDS LETTER

Interstate Commerce Commission,
Washington, d. G.
Gentlemen:
Having observed the activities of
the merger promoters, and having
perused the plan as it appears in
printed form for submission to the
stockholders of the Northern Pacific
and the Great Northern Railways,
feel, from general knowledge, that it
should be my privilege, if not a
public duty, to enter formal protest
for consideration by your Honorable
Commission.
The reasons in justification of your
denial of the petition of the promo
ters of this proposed merger are
many, and, perhaps, unanswerable.
l. No statement has been made by
the promoters that the proposed mer-
ger is an outgrowth of conditions, cir
cumstances or requirements involving
public convenience or necessity.
z. This is a plan to create a great
er institution by merging smaller
ones; yet the proposal does not state
that there is an excess of efficiency
In the present business management.
3. The constitution of many states
including Montana provides that no
bonds or stock shall be issued by any
corporation, except for labor done,
service performed, and money and
property actually. received. The pro-
posed scheme of consolidation will de-
slgnedly prepare the way for further
and additional abuses of such basic
law, by the issuance of additional fic-
titiOus obligations.
4. In the consideration Of anv
scheme or plan of railyay merger the
Interstate Commerce Commission
schold require detailed statements
showing the advantages to be derived
and the proportionate share which the
public is to enjoy.
3. Consolidation of railroad svs-
TENS, for many reasons, should not
be encouraged or permitted until such
time as the valuations of railroad
properties are more accurately ap-
praised. The present valuations are
heavily inflated and tend to deceive
inexperienced investors as well as de-
termining a false and untenable rate
base.
Investors Distrust Railroad Valuation
8. There is an excess of 315 per
cent money in this country, yet rail
securities are unattractive at a so
per cent greater interest or dividend
return. With this statement there
must be associated the fact that dis
trust, on the part of experienced in
vestors, or lack of confidence in the
figures representing calculations of
railroad properties, necessitated the
Issuance, by railroads, of Equipment
Trust Certificates. This was and is
an especially secured paper and its
existence should remove the necessi-
