COOK’S SCHEME
HAS ITS EAULTS
Public’s Attitude Toward the
Railroads Is Undergoing
Steady Change.
By B. C. FORBES.
NEW YORK, May 28.—A twenty-five
billion dollar “holding company" to con
trol the railroads of the United States,
under the plan drawn up by Mr Wil
liam W. Cook and outlined here yester
day, is at first glance alluring. But the
more the proposal is studied, the greater
and rraver are the obiections that spring
w mind Many of Mr. Cook's statements
would seem to call for modification in
ciew of recent events. Let me try to
comment briefly on some of them
...
The issue, he affirms, is “Socialism or
Not?" I do not. think so. Is It not true
that the government, through the inter
state commerce commission, has at last
placed the bit in the mouth of the rail
roads and can force them to move in
whatever direction is desired?
• ♦ •
“*■ Already the public clamor against the
railroads has in large measure subsided.
Indeed, the public are today complaining
less than are the railroad managements
Decision after decision has been handed
down aaginst the transportation compa
nies and very few in their favor. The
interstate commerce commission certain
ly can not be accused of showing favorit
ism toward the companies. The latter
have repeatedly complained that the com
missioners regard themselves more as
the champions of shippers than as im
partial judges. So uncomfortable have
numbers of roads been made that any
appeal for government ownership -is as
likely to come from the managers as from
the general public. .
Railroad regulation, in otner words, has
become very effective. It is no longer'
toothless. Innocuous, a mere theory. It
is offering strong, insurmountable bar
riers against practices which used to
arouse the public's ire Therefore, the
present conditions have not become im
possible or intolerable from the public's
point of view An era of fairer play has
been opened up.
• * •
The $25,000,000 combination, therefore,
is not urgently necessary to rescue the
country from socialism. Moreover, such
a plan does not appear feasible. To
begin with the 3 per cent guaranteed,
stock proposed would not find a market.
A substantially higher rate of dividend or
Interest would have to be paid. ' Even
then the scheme would be so much in
the nature of an experiment—an experi
ment on a scale never before attempted
by any nation—that Investors would in
all probability prefer to hold aloof not
withstanding the government guaranty.
Is the claim that the plan “would not
impair the efficiency of the present rail
way staff ' incontrovertible? Can it be
seriously argued that railway officials
barred from earning for stockholders
above a certain fixed percentage would
produce the results attained under exist-
ing corporate ownership? Would not part
of the present incentive be removed"
Would not initiative be dulled" Mould
not numbers of our ablest railroad men
to whom moneymaking is not the first
consideration quit rather than be sub
jected to the new form of domination"
» • •
The project, would be revolutionary,
no matter how carried out. If the rail- i
roads were to be slyly picked up when their
securities were depressed, there would
be increasing uncertainty in investment
circles, for the owner of shares paying,
say. 7 per cent, would never know the
moment he might be informed that his'
dividend would be cut to the 3 per cent
rate--a matter of infinite importance
Or. if properties were to be acquired by
condemnation topsy-turvydom would
reign Mr. Cook says of Socialism: “It
Is the direct antithesis of the Anglo
saxon idea that whatever.a man honestly i
acquires becomes his own, to dispose of
as he sees fit." How would the con
demnation procedure square. with the
clause I have put in black letters"
* ♦ •
Railroad management In America has
been lifted from the speculative mud in
which it was wont to disport. It is
cleaner now. It is watched closer It
has to keep within bounds prescribed by
governmental bodies The public are no
longer absolutely defenceless. They have
driven the railroads out of politics They
are gradually demanding that no new
securities be issued without governmental
—Federal or state —sanction.
Finally, the capitalists who wield tre
mendous power over our railroads at
least realize that they can not snap their
fingers at public sentiment. The old au
tocratic. brutal attitude has been dropped
Warning has been given that the people
will assert themselves as masters of the
situation, and that if drastic measures
become necessary action will be taken
The constant increase in the number of
1 citizens holding railroad stocks can have
, \ but beneficial influence And surely the
' . reformed currency system should go some
\ wav toward correcting the evils of con
—r *" % -rSntrated capital—evils that constitute a
danger' to the orderly continuance of the
republic.
Capital is on trial. It knows that if it
does not act squarely vengeance will b»
taken in one form or another For the
present, however, the suggested twenty
five-billion-dollar holding company and
other schemes for nationalization can be
held in abeyance, don’t you think?

average much below former years.
Alabama In many sections the season
is so lare that farmers have not finished
planting and acreage is not definitely
; settled Reductions are universal, but
'.not ra«lical. as last month’s estimates indi
cated. Weather of late has been very ■
favorable, and cotton, where up. has gen- ,
: erally attained good stands LaYid.‘how- ’
over, has been very poorly prepared
Work is progressing satisfactorily, and
many farmers expect to have their crops
in goufi shape very soon. Percentage con
dition is naturally considerably below last
vear. At this time it was BG, but com- j
pared with the very late start of the crop -
year of 1307. it is much better than when
it was 61. per cent. The season is two!
to three \\ e< ks late.

By CHARLES W STORM.
NEW YORK. May 27 Buying ami sell- i
i ing orders were nearly equalled at the;
opening of the stock market today and
[there was little change In the enndit i««n.- I
which prevailed at the close Saturday |
The supply was scant and the demand l
wa‘ limited As a result of the absern e !
•’f the selling orders many stocks mad<
gains on slight transactions The b'-st
■ gain was made by Canadian Pacific, which
w-as up r, Q Brooklyn Rapid Transit gain-
jed L while I nion Pacific advanced ’2
People’s Gas was one of the firmest of

'•ommon was unchanged. Lehigh Valley
was trh weakest of the hard coal rail
roads. <le< ling •'«. Illinois Central was off
<1 full point. The coppers were, excep
-1 t tonally quiet
The curb was quiet hut steady.
This being an English holiday there
was no session of the stock market in
1 amdon.
I>uring the forenoon a sagging tendency
developed and nearly all the active issues
declined fractionally Lehigh Valley vv.is
the weakest feature, dropping a point.
Fractional losses were sustained in Steel
common and Amalgamated Copper. Busi
ness was on an extremely small scale.
Activity developed in a number of
stocks in the late trading, hut prices
were irregular Brick advances occurred
in some issues only to bp followed by
downward movements. Lehigh Valiev
and Reading each moved up 1 point, but
later lost t<ip advance on realizing sales
The majority of the important railroad
issues continued dull
Stocks closed irregularly.

higher this morning with Bartlett. Frazer
and Ix.gan Bryan buyere The influence
was a message received from W B.

says the plant is thin and deteriorated.
The weather is hot. There were no ca
bles.
Corn was **c higher to unchanged and
firm. Shorts covered.
Oats were up *4@*4c and in fair de
mand.
Hog products were fractionally lower
with hogs.
Wheat closed higher and firmin' today
with the May option up *4c and July *4c
better. Bullish reports from crop experts
and dry weather in the Southwest were
the main strengthening influences Lack
of outside buying, operated with selling
attributed to bull leaders, prevented lar
ger gains.
Corn closed lower. May being off He
and the more deferred options \ to %o
lower. Heavy selling was the main cause.
Oats were Irregular, May being %e
lower while July was 54c lower and Sep
tember unchanged.
Provisions were steady to a shade high
er despite a big run of hogs in the West
