TO 0.00: — Railroad Honesty, The manner in which the put chase of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Railroad was effected by the Erle, a Morgan road, and the different plan adopted by Mr. | J, J. Hill to enable the Great) Northern to raise funds for a simi- | lar acquisition of new lines and for| new equipment, make an instruc. | tive contrast in methods of raion finance, | The Erle having decided to buy the C,, H. & D. property, imtrusted | tthe task to the experienced hands of Mr. Morgan, who, after getting hold of 74,000 shares of the road’s stock at various prices, resold it to the Erie at 160, For the use of the money advanced he charged a commtssion of $414,200. For his servies in underwriting the $12,000,000 of convertible bonds he will receive probably as much more, And to these profits is to he added the difference between the selling price of the 74,000 shares and tthe purchase price, Altogether the transaction will have cost the Erie a found $1,000,000, which is saddled on the already heavily burdened shoulders of the stockholders, , Mr. Hill's simpler way was to Issue new stock and to allow stock- holders to subscribe for $25,000,000 of It at par. By this arrangement something in the nature of a popular loan was created and profits which might have been diverted to underwriters and Syndicate operators were distributed among the Great Northern owners, to whom they properly belong. q ‘What the Great Northern could do with its large resources of credit and while its stock was selling above 300 was not possible to a road handicapped by a legacy of mismanagement, Erie common stock is 49. Is there to be found in the history of American railroading a more Striking example of the benefits of honest manageinent, as opposed to the blight of dishonest manipulation, than is furnished by these great tailroad systems? On the one hand is a splenditly equipped road, economically con- : structed and efficiently operated. The Great Northem was built for » 830,000 a mile, the total cost of construction of its 5,948 miles of road- F fway amounting to $206,000,000, On the other hand, the 2,153 miles of the Erie’s lines represent a Gost of $350,000,000, or $175,000 a mile.
