SAN FRANCISCO. June 13. That
the 'Southern Pacific and the Cen
tral Pacific rullroadB havo been un
der common control for hair a cen
tury and that their growth lus
been the development of u single
railroad system, separate in name
only, filling a demand which a sin
gle comlpany could not havo filled.
Is assorted in a stuunnent issued
by William Sproule, president ol
the Southern Pacific company. The
statement was' issued in comment
ing on the recent United States su
preme court ordtfr dlijectlug abso
lute separation of the two railroads.
"The Central Pacific ' has been
lcasctf to the Southern Pacific for
hirty seven," President Sproule
said. He continued: . -1 Me soiun
ern Pacific has, been, the owner of
the entliier capital stock of Oie re
organized Central Pacific for twen
ty two years. - Tho declBlou of the
supreme court Is that these facts
are in violation of the Sherman act,
although the Sherman act was not
passed until 1890.
"Tlpnlrica all thin OlOrfi is suffi
cient cTidcuce that, hie Central Pa-:
cific and the Southoru Pacific were
held In common ownership as early
as October, The official rec
ords prove that the two have been
under common control and manage
ment for 60 years, or since July.
1S70.
"The growth has been of the one
systdm and not of two. The two
companies did what fine company
could not '; do, under the circum
stances of the time. Kach has been
necessary to the other for effec
tive service.
"The supreme court now decides.
In effect, that the lcaso or tho Cen
tral .Pacific lo tho Southern Pa
cific "became1 ''void whK"n the Sher
man act was passed, because of the
Sunset Roule through Texas on the
South, competing with thu line
through Ogdeu on tho north. The
business fact is that the) line down
the San Jounuin valley and over
the Tehachapl mountains to Los
Angeles was built to meet tho pub-
He demand for a railroad through
the San Joao,ufn valley and to south
em (California. Tho samo public
demand was behind tho further ex
tension of the lino from Los An
aoles eastward through K! Pa bo and
to Shra Hlancn, Texas.
"The Central Pacific carried the
extension Into the San Joaquin val
lo yas far as Goshen, the South
ern Pacific taking It up there and
carrying' H southward and east
ward. Every thine that was done
had behind It the backing of pub
lic desire, with the approval of
congress, for the development of
the resources of California, Oregon
and other Pacific Mtatut resources
then dormant but with their pos
'blbilitieB evident."

ed, "We cannot go through tniiny more
