1 - THE OBEGON DAILY JOURNAL,' PORTLAND, OREGON? TUESDAY, JUNE- 13," 1922. i I H i v S. P. PRESIDENT, DECLARES COURT : RULING HARM FUL " That the supreme court In ordering dissolution of the Southern Pacific and Central Pacific interests ihaa not con sidered the possible' consequence to fol- lew whenever the interstate, commerce -commission takes Jurisdiction' Under the transportation act of 1920, is the opin ion of William Sproule, president of the- Southern Pacific company. In a statement received by the local offices Monday. j t , ;; - Because oif the"; decision, which . - Pproule said wholly, disregarded public , welfare, he has seiettlfproper motive for direct appeal to federal and state com . : missions to maintain. . through the .power vested in them, the maintenance : oC the operation of the Southra Pa-ciflo-Central(Pacitic system as a unit Justified by experience of the people served and if necessary that a new power might well be created for this purpose by appropriates legislation In discussing- of the decree- divorcing Uie Central Pacific and Southern Pa cific, Sproule said that some of the leadings facts in the situation should laid: beforo the public, which he claimed H affected as vitally as the . Southern Pacific. -. It is pointed out in the Sproule state ment that there is sufficient evidence . that the Central Pacific and Southern Pacific were held in common ownership as early as 1870 and that both lines . were declared In violation of the Sher . man act, which was not passed .until 190, which was five year after the Central: Pacific was leased - by the Southern Pacific. HEBGBB IS DfcXIEB A review of the negotiations between the two. companies is made to show .that there has been no merger, but on flie contrary that the two roads have grown and developed from a common root into a single unit of growth and Service throughout half a century. " Results of this -common growth have been outlined as follows: s "Everything that has been done had - behind it the backing of public desire " with the approval of congress for the development of the resources of Cali fornia, Oregon and the other Pacific coast states. If the same urgent work had to be done again under the same public aspect, the same set of railroads mould again be brought into existence, and if done under a, single corporate name as well as single operating con trol there would now be no debate. So I conceive that the only Question of present' interest to the public Is whether or not the public Is hurt by having, this development done by a S'ngle control under two corporate rames Instead of having it done by single control with a single corporate name. SEBS PUBLIC HARM v "This single unit can now be separ ated into two units only by a process of disintegration and tearing into con fused remnants of railroad, neitheit of Rhich Span function of itself. Therein would lie a new and real restraint of trade. t Furrier the report said : -"That since e the Bult in question was begun in 1914 that the situation needs to be dealt with In the light of present conditions and not the conditions that prevailed from 1883 to 1899. v "The- public commissions now have - Mwtr over rates, service extensions and Issue of securities by the railroads to protect the general public interest, , and that the transportation act of 1920 "is designed tomeet present conditions. . The ; tentative gro-'ping of railroad systems by the interstate commerce Ira M Spirit World Takes to Art te at at at s Childish Messages No More By Bay mead Clapper United News Staff Correspondent k New York. June 1 The spirits have given up table tapping and the writing of messages from the dead to take up art. If Walter M.

Orant ha. m. - hundred canvases' on display 'which are said to have been done under spirit-control by persons who bad never painted a stroke be fore. V..' ; ' This exhibit has set the entire artist colony debating whether the genius of the spirit world have outgrown their childish ""mamma loves you"" kind .of messages and; taken up art seriously, or whether somebody has outdone the famous Madame 'Palladino and hood winked the art critics. '-The pictures rsng , f rem simple geometric designs to the most compli cated conrpositions done in vivid oils. One large painting, depicting the Span ish court is its sixteenth century splen dor, was done upside down fay Mrs. Helen Wells, under the control, i she said of Eswald, an Italian artist who lived, many .centuries ago, She also did. several flower studies under Es walds control. ' "I - don't know a ' thing about art," said Mrs. Wells. "But I did do those pencU Irswlhgs of flowers. They are Italian flowers, as I learned from some Italian-workmen who came to my house afterward. , They called them all-spice blossoms" and"" managua,- which was What Oswald told me they1 were."

Pacific remain to gether) tends to remedy the unfortun ate legal situation presenters by tne Sherman act standing aone. The grouping indicated by thecommission nrniHilM th. f.mMlv Ytv which one Of the principal transportation systems of the country need not be torn asunder. A8KS PU81IC SUPPORT "Positive support of public opinion lb needed fn working out the problem to such a constructive conclusion as will allow this railroad system to re main at the service of. the public, for whom it , was designed and built. The public has nothing to gain by breaking up these properties; they stand only to loqe by the complications that would foHow. - "Even- a technical violation of the Sherman act is of small detriment to the public when compared with the large and extended service given to that public by the present railroad system of the Southern Pacific com pany under existing regulative con trol. The commissions, state and fed eral, are endowed with all the powers recessary to make that control potent and complete." Astoria to Have Sports on July 3 Astoria. Juno 13.
