ANSWER TO THE BUT
.. .. FOit R. R. VNMERflER.
, SALT LAKE CITY, May 1. The,,
Southern Pacific Company on April
30 filed in the District Court of the
United States for the district of Utah
its answer in the Government BUlt to
divorce the Central Pacific from the
Southern Pacific. The answer, after
specifically denying all allegations
that the Sherman Anti-Trust law has
been violated, points out not only
that the two lines were originally
built, operated and developed aB one
road, but that, as far back as 1898,
the United States Government, it-
Belf, practically recognized the com- .
bination as wholesome.
It shows, furthermore, that in the
Joint operation of these lines, thru !
trains have been run by the moBt
direct or convenient route without
reference to their ownership; and
that any separation of the Central
Pacific lines from those of the South
ern Pacific cannot now be had with
out detriment to both properties, and
without Impairing and inconvenienc
ing the public service and the com
munities through which the llneB
pass.
; In a brief historical resume, the
following facts are brought out:
i- 1st. That the lines of the South
ern Pacific Railroad Company were
built as extensions and connections
of the lines of the Central Pacific
Railroad Comuany. and by the same ,
stockholders.
J n.l.. linn, nf Did
the lines of the
211U. IIIUI, US
Southern Pacific Railroad Company
were completed, they were directly
leased to the Cential Pacific to be

under lease for 99 years, all the lines'
of both Central Pacific and Southern
Pacific; and ha since! managed a lid
developed theih.aa one property, con
slderlne only efficiency of service to
the public, without regard to corpor-.
ate properties, such as terminals and
branches.
4th. That, relying on the terms,
under which the Central Pacific's'
debt to the Government of I58,0uu,-
0U0 was settled in 1898, the Southern
Pacific Company undertook heavy
financial obligations, not only guar
anteeine the payment of this debt.
but also guaranteeing the J 100.000
000 four per cent mortgagee bond is'
sue of the Central Pacific. In this'
connection, it Is contended that the
Government could not consistently ;
and with Justice have accepted this
settlement of which it did have full
knowledge as party thereto, if the
arrangement Involved a relation be-
tween the roadB contrary to public
policy.
5th. That, even as late as 1912,
in the recent so-called Harriman un
merger suit, when the United States
Supreme Court ordered the dissolu
tion of the Union Pacific and the
Southern Pacific, the court, the high
est In the land, found no reason to
disturb the relations between the
Central Pacific and the Southern Pa
cific. The Supreme Court ordered
the dissolution of the Union from the
Southern Pacific, but as to the Central-Southern
Pacific relations, said:
We find no reason to disturb the
action of the court below." The
court below had declined to disturb
'.L. tl , 1 C3n...l.nH D.ilfln ralfl.
the Central-Southern Pacific rela
tions, although .the facts concerning
It were at the time brought out.
Commenting on the fact that the
lines were In one ownership andman-
agement and developed as one prop
erty, the early part of the answer
points out that, because of this fact,
little heed was given as . to which
corporation' should hold the title to
terminal properties and branch lines.
Accordingly branch lines from points
on the Central Pacific were built and
owned by the Southern Pacific Rail
road Company, these branches having
no connection with the main line of
the Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany except through Central Pacific
lines. At important points the en
tire title to valuable terminal prop
erties was taken and held In the
name of the Central Pacific Railroad
Company. At other points the title
to terminal properties was held by
the Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany. Any separation of the Central Pa
cific lines from the Southern Pacific
lines cannot now be had except with
great detriment and Injury to each
of these companies, and in order that
these lines should now be operated
as separate properties, there must
be expended very large sums of
money to secure separate terminals
to complete these properties for op-

The answer further sets forth the
granting by .the. Government of a
subsidy to the Central Pacific Kail
road Company, by. which that com
pany became indebted to the Govern
ment in a sum exceeding 858,000,-

. On July 7, 1898, Congress passed
an act providing that the Secretary
of the Treasury and Secretary of the

ANCIENT HIGH FINANCE.
When White Deerskins Passed as Cur
rency In China.
In China, the first country to use
banknotes, certnln skins were once of
such creat value that they were ac
cepted as cash, passing from baud to
hutid In the snme wny as banknotes of
the present day. The negotiability of
these akius was established In tills way
The Emperor Ou Tl, being In wnnt of
money, gave bis treasurer to under
stand thnt such a state of affairs must
not continue. At that time It was rus
ternary for princes aud courtiers on en
tering the royal presence to cover their
faces with pieces of skin. Taking nd
vautage of this custom, the Irensurer
procured the issuance of a decree for
bidding the use of any other skins fur
this purpose save those of a certain spe
cies of whit deer In the roynl parks.
Immediately,' of course, there nrose a
demnnd for pieces of these skins,
which, being a monopoly, were sold at
a high price.
Thus were the roynl coffers refilled.
The steady value of the skins Huh ob
tained made them readily a substitute
for coin of the realm.
