RAILROADS POOLING.

It to the Dlseretlon of the Commission. The interstate commerce act prohibits pooling- (a division of earnings) by railroadcompauies. The bill passed by the house last week authorizes pool- *•» big. provided the contract is reduced to writing, filed with the interstate commerce commission and the commission does not disapprove it. The pool goes into effect twenty days after filing contract. Ihe commission may, after a pool goes into effect, modify the pooling arrangement or cancel it. E The bill allows any company to apply to a United States Circuit court to test the reasonableness of the commission’s rulings and the court may approve the pool notwithstanding the commission | disapproves it. Tee patrons of the J roa,i aiUl communities affected by the pool are not given a like right to have 1 the commission s rulings passed upon by a court. Pending litigation on the subject and appeals to the United States Supreme court, the eommis-

sion s orders arc fti force. 1 When a railroad goes into a pooling contract it can t get out of it except upon an order from the commission or the court. Pooling means no competition. W here there are several companies pulling for the same trade there is competition, rate cutting, etc. The present law prohibiting pooling is nc doubt directly violated, but the companies will not be honest with each other and will violate their agreements, and by all manner of scheming each road will get as much traffic for itself as possible. The pending bill compels the companies, when they agree to skin the public and divide the spoils, to stick to the agreement. While the rates fixed in the pooling contracts must be reasonable in the eyes of the commission, that, body is considerable of n railroad auxiliary and will not likely consider any rates un -easonable that failed to yield interest on wateied I bonds and dividends on stock that is all water.—Missouri World.

Ihe Baltimore Pl fill, now practically endorsed by President Cleveland, is attracting universal alien ion because it is based on the evident fact that the currency ami banking systems of the country must be reformed. But is the Baltimore plan a reform? It give the associated banks the power to expand the currency and relieve the.count ry . It also gives them the power to contract it at wilt and create widespread distress for their own private gain. It puls Hie credit of the government behind every Lank note. It donates all but half of one per cent of ihe p ofil. on the note issue of the banks, and it leaves plenty of oj ,>or lunitiesfora Napoleon of Finance Io wreck a bank and leave the government to pay the note . , It leaves the banks free to demand the highest interest that the several states will allow, and afford no relief to farmers and business men of moderate capual. Contrast with this THE HILL BANKING SYSTEM. In ’‘Money Found.” an exceedingly valuable and instructive book. Hon. Thomas E. Hill proposes that the government open its own bank in every large town or county .-mil in the United States, pay 3 per cent on long time deposits, receive deposits subject to check without interest, and ;<>y,u money at the uniform rate as 4 per cent to every one offering security worth double th** amount of the loan. This plan is not an expense to the government, but a source of large revenue. It secures the government amply, which the Baltimore plan does not. It relieves the distress of the common people, which the Baltimore plan does not. It protects not only note holders but depositors, who are unsecured now under the Baltimore pun would be si ill worse off. In a word, the Baltimore plan is in the interest of the. bankers, the Hill Banking {System is in ihe interest of thepenpie. Consider thorn both, and ask your congressman vote for the <• ..e you believe in.
