Bald that the only possible objection to
crossing at the point desired wa aue
to the fact that the city had an air

the company would not damage the
city' property and that It never In
tended to, but that the road wa going

mere any damage tha company would
Bay for them. . ... .
"Thl road ha been graded and part

us this permit wa will get It In aome
other way. I wrote a letter to the wa

difference that might arise.
"The letter wa entirely Ignored, and
later I received a letter from Mayor

have to be moved four feet. Well, we
are not going to move the track four
feet or four inches for that matter. The

16 feet apart and that the air-valve box
would -not be touched either by rail or

They declare that so far as the peo
ple affected are concerned, the North

been decided In favor of the Hlll-Mor

Northern Securities case of great bene
fit to the people as abaolutely unrouna-
ed. and they point out that certain con
ceded facts sustain their position.
Kill's Crreat "Dlsoovery."
James J. Hill, with whom worked as
his backer J. Pierpont Morgan, conceived
the idea that waste was caused oy com
petition between railroads serving a
common territory. He argued that com
petition compelled maintenance of as
many forces of employes in the traffic
retting department as there were roads
n the given territory. He asserted mat
were competition eliminated, expense
would be curtailed and the common con
trolling head of the road could grant
lower freiffht rate by reason of the
lessened expense.' It was the "commu
nity of Interest" theory, based on a de
gree of socialistic approximation In the
management of common carriers. The
Individualism of the roads was to be
destroyed, and a communal interest cre
ated between all common carriers, rail
and water, In the territory concerned.
To bring that theory into operation.
Mr. Hill caused the organization of the
Northern Securities company, which
was to be a holdlnif com Dan v. to take
over the stocks of the Great Northern
company and the Northern Pacific, and
the two were to control the Burlington,
a the ultimate-move In the elimination
of competition in the territory west
ward from 8t. Paul and Duluth. and
southward to the territory traversed by
the Harrlman Union Pacific system,
roactioa of the Company.
The securities company was organised
under the laws of New Jersey, and was
to have no part in the actual operation
of the constituent road. Its only func
tion was to see that the operating heads
of the several roads should indulge in
no "deatructive" competition to get
freights, which were to be regulated
from a common center of control tho
Northern Securities company.
Attorney-General (now senator) Knox,
at the Instance of President Roosevelt,
went Into the federal courts to test the ,
constitutionality of the merger, and the
court decided that It waa repugnant to
the organic law of the nation, as well as
antagonistic to the statutory Inhibitions.
Quickly Mr. Hill dissolved his secur
ities company, and, so far as the rec
ords of the courts are concerned, today
there is no "community of Interest,"
and there is competition between the
Great Northern and " Northern Pacific
and Burlington.
Yet this legal fiotion Is well recog
nized in all quarters. It Is unnecessary
to prove, for It is conceded by all, that
Mr. Hill and Mr. Morgan absolutely con
trol all three roads, and aictate raies
through their subordinates; that they
have eliminated competition just as ef
fectively as it was designed they should
do through the Northern Securities company.
Hill Jokes About Evasion.
Bo absolute is this control, that Mr.
Hill at one time even made It the sub
ject of a pleasantry, when, at a banquet.
iven in nonor or himseir ana rresiaeni
lllott of the Northern Pacific, at Port

We cannot maintain noiaing compan
ies for our reads; but they cannot pre

Wall street bases nil operations on
the positive knowledge that Mr. Hill
controls them. Financial writers rer
to them as "the Hill-Morean roads.
