POLITICAL ASPECTS
OF MERGERS STUDIED

NEW YORK, September l6.-occa-
sionally Wall street pauses during its
feverish hours Of promoting Industrial
and public utility consultations, OF
forming $50. 0OO, 600 and 500. 100000 in
yestment trusts and of linking together
chains of banks and trust companies. TO
reflect on what may be the political re-
action throughout the country OF these
phases OF the new era" in finance.
Although,the past two years have seen
some of the largest mergers OF manu-.
featuring companies and power ana
light corporations on record. more are
in the making. 1t is estimated thtre
will be in the next few months an ad-
dition to investment trust capital nearly
equaling that of the past eight months.
The trend toward branch and chain
banking is still strong and may gain an
impetus from the discussions that VIII
make the october convention OF the
American Bankers Association In san
Francisco one Of the most interesting
In years.
There is, with all Of this activity,
much quiet rejection on how it may
affect the political affairs of the Nation
and Of individual States. Undoubtedly
the huge power mergers will be the issue
In the next gubernatorial election In
New York. The efforts Of outside In
terests to secure a dominant position in
the public utility properties on the Pa
cific Coast are likely to bring political
reactions in California.
There are already indications that as
soon as Congress finishes with the tariff
1t will take up not only an investigation
of the Federal Reserve and the expar-
sion in brokers' loans, but review Of
the activities of the investment trusts,
which so far have escaped national in
vestigation, although they have been
subject to observation and direction by
various States.

10-HOURS' TIME

CHICAGO. May 30.-F-Ah.
hal Phoebe the parrot has a story
to tell the policemen
Up to the time Phoebe got lost
from her cage at the Hugh Gar
den home yesterday. her most
virulent oath was hot coffee"
But now she says -" and
-" and - as well rs a lot
OF double jointed cuss words.
MI. Garden cannot understand
how Phoebe could become so pro-
fusely profane in 10 short hours.
especially since the only human
beings she met during that time
were three Lake Forest policemen
who spent most OF the day trying
to get Phoebe out Of the tree in
which she had perched. Mr.. Gar
den said Phoebe could hardly have
picked up her cuss words from the
policemen.
So. no." said Phoebe.
