Sees Significance
, While Republican leaders are holding
many political conferences which are the
order of the day ir Washington, they are
wondering how much help this “right
hand” man will grre tine Chief Executive
during the next ten months, the brief time
which Cooiidge han to write a record of
achievement before the next Republican
Convention.    v. c    !
Many observers iirouad the executive
mansion attached considerable importance
to the fact that Stesros brought additional
influence and snp]»rt for the President
with the visit of the Massachusetts Re
publican organisation last wdek. This
was the first concerted action from any
state to put themselves and their state
organization behind tie new admmisira-

wbea Secretary of War Weeks retired.
Bay State Political Hub
Together with Butler and James B
Reynolds, the Washington banker, who al-
so hails from the Bsy State, the three
are acknowledged as ihe new President’s
closest political advisor*. It is expected
that they will h«lp develop and put
through a program fashioned after the
New England business plan.
Taking into consideration,the President’s
three advisors, and with the executive
support, the spealier of the House, Gil-
lette, Weeks in the Cabinet, Winslow,
Greene, Treadway and Rogers as House
leaders, and Lodge in the Senate, all from
the Bay Stale—Massachusetts is in an
excellent position to get what it wants be-
fore Congress, ', , , ' /    **
With these developments Boston is fast
becoming the Hub of the political wheel—
and the hand of Frank Waterman Stearns
is seen spinning it around.

ARTICLE Ui
ARGUMENTS FOR AND AGAINST
CONSOLIDATION OF RAILWAYS
In the preceding article 1 have called at-
tention to the problem of the weak and
strong road operating as competitors in
the same territory. Congress called upon
the Interstate Commerce Gmsmtaon to
consolidate these properties so that each
strong road would be give? ha due pro-
portion of weak properties, so that rates
could be prescribed which would bring a
fair return to the roads as a system. For
many months, the Interstate Commerce
Commission has been working on this prob-
lem of putting the weak roads with the
strong. It ha* found its task almost in
super ably difficult. For examples, in the
Northeast, there me three huge ,systems
that have grown up through the years—
the New York Central, the Pennsylvania,
and the Baltimore & Ohio. The other
roads of the Northeast are relatively much
weaker than these three systems, with a
few exceptions. To place all the rail-
roads of the Northeast in three systems
would perhaps be necessary if the mandate
of Congress were obeyed to the letter,
that is, that the strong and weak roads
should be actually put together. But that
would make three systems so large that
operating officials are skeptical as to the
wisdom ef attempting to do so. More-
over, consolidation it voluntary, and it is
hard to conceive how it could fee other-
wise for it would be very difficult to
compel a railroad to buy another railroad.
A man may be compelled to sell his prop-
erty for public use, but we hav<f as yet no
law to compel a man to buy what he does
not want. Now it has appeared from the
hearings that the New York Central does
not care to buy the weak roads paralleling
it. The f ame i* tsue of the Pennsylvania
and the Baltimore & Ohio.
When we come west of the Mississippi
river we get a similar ‘situation. The
strong railroads of the West like the
Union Pacific and the Hill lines, the
Southern Pacific, and the Santa Fe are not
verv desirous of taking on hundreds and
even thousands of mile* of property that
have not been able of earning a living.
We have in the Southwest a number of
railroads that from time to time have
been in the hands of receivers. It is
true that much of the financial difficul-
ties have been due to their being over-
capitalized. But financially weak they

are, piling up * deficits from month to
month and from year to year and passing j
through one bankruptcy proceeding after
another. Congress bad in mind that such
properties would be consolidated with the
finaorisBy strong systems. But it appears
to be very difficult to interest the strong
competitors in taking over these weak ^eh*
dividend paying and frequently bankrupt
railroad*. Consequently the tentative pro-
posal, put out by the Interstate Commerce
Commission in August. *1921, to provoke
criticism and thought, contain* several
systems made up almost entirely of finan-
cially weak roads. There are such sys-
tems in the Northeast, in the Southeast,
in the West, and particularly in the South-
west. The so-called systems 18 and 19
of the tentative plan, the consolidation of
into one system, and of the Old Gould
the Frisco, the Katy, andfthe Cotton Belt
lines into the Missouri Pacific system,
furnish Samples of tbe difficulties* which
are actually met in consolidating these
road*. Since the Commission evidently
was not able to get any assurance from tbe
strong systems that they would take over
all of these Southwest lines, these lines
have been treated individually and con-
solidated into two relatively local and
competing system* composed of financially
weak properties. A stronk chain cannot
be made up of weak links, A strong sys-
ten can hardly be constituted of financially
we#k properties.—WALTER SFLAWN.
