REAGAN ON CONSOLIDATIONS Ke Farors the Merging of Continuous and Connecting Lines as Tending to Reduce Rates and Expenses of Operation, but Calls Attention to the Kind of Consolida" tion That Tends to Monopoly. BFSCZAI TO Tax Nnwi, Palatine, Nov. con.iollda- Mon of continuous and connecting railroad lines In TCXHH hits been, In tho opinion of Hon. John H. Reagan, in a largo measure bencnrlal to botli the people find tho railroad, companies.

This statement was made to a correspondent of The News who sought Judge Reagan's opinion upon (he subject and who found him willing lo discuss 4 freely, "There Is some Interesting 1 discussion go Ing 1 on about the consolidation of roads it Texas," said The News correspondent, by way of preface. "As you were for some years a member of tho Railroad Commfs slon of Texas, during- which tlmo some o. tho consolidations of railroads occurret and may have been called on to form ion? on tho subject, The News desirts tin expression, you as to tho advantage and disadvantage, to the public of such consolidations of roads." "I was a member of tho Railroad Commission when some of these consolidations occurred, and in these cases the opinion of tho commission wan called for; and I did form opinions on tho cases which before us," Judge Beagan answered. "Were these opinions favorable or unfavorable to such xjonaolldatloris?" "I think In most of the cases, possibly all of those which came before us, I favored tho consolidation." "In your Judgment did these consolidations Increase or reduce tho rate per mile of the capitalized liabilities of such railroads?" "In all cases where they affected tho capitalized liabilities per mile of the roads with the new roads added to the "old. they caused a reduction in.

tho liability per mile." "Were the new additions to the older roads, by these acts of consolidation, made liable pro rata for the debts of the old roads?" "My remembrance is that in some cases the act of the Legislature provided that they should not be so liable; but I don't remember whether this was so In all cases." "How was the public interests uffected by the consolidation?" "Tho result was to benefit both the public and the roada." "Upon what do you base this opinion?" tho fact that by uniting two short connections Into one the commission and the railway companies are enabled to make lower rates of transportation. When freight passes over two or more connecting roads each may charge its local short lino rate, unless prevented by law or authorized regulations; but when euch connecting lines are consolidated the cheaper long line rate Is It also reduces the number ot annual reports of railway co.npanles, which are to bo considered and acted on by the commission, and It reduces the labor and expense to the railroad companies by reducing the number of annual reports they are required to make, the number of officers they are required to keep, the number of employes' hecessaryi and. It reduces the number of accounts which must be madu; and these further enables them to cheapen freight rates. And by these means both the patrons of tho roada and tho railway companies are benefited. It-must be understood that this to connecting and contlnuouii lines of'roads, and not to parallel and competing roads.

"I think those who object to such consolidations of connecting short lino roads as havo occurred In this- Slato fall to understand tho two important features cf tho case," Judge R.eagan continued. "First, they 'do not realise the difference between consolidating two or more, connecting or more short lines into one longer road, so as to cheapen the transportation for the people and reduce tho expenses of tho carriers, from, tha consolidation of the competing roada, so as to prevent competition, or tho consolidation of great systems of roads, so as to qreate and promote monopoly Inter, ests. These latter should not be permitted. And, second, such objectors don't, seem to understand or to realize tho fact that under the Constitution and laws of Texas nnd the action of the Railway Commission freight rates are not based' on tho stock' and bond capitalization of the railroads or exclusively on tho commission's valuation of them. It is the duty of the commission to make reasonable rates, just and fair alike to persons, places and commodities, and to the railroads and their patrons.

And while protecting the people against extravagant rates and against unjust discriminations it has been and should be tho policy of the commission to make such rates, if the business on the roads will allow It, as will pay operating expenses and repairs on the roads and a reasonable profit on the capital Invested in them. "The amount of stock and bonds of a I railroad la not a just nor reasonable basis for the making of freight' rates. So many elements have to bo considered in this connection that I can net in this attempt to enumerate them. But they readPy occur to any one familiar with the subject. I repeat that the- making of freight rates under our laws Is not at all controlled by the amount of the stock and bonds of the railroads, and the assumption that they do Is improper and misleading.

11 "So, as I understand-you, you. make no objection to the consolidation of the Texas railroads." "On the contrary, with the limitations I have I think they have been In a large measure beneficial to both the people and the railway companies," "Jn this connection," Judge Reagan added, 'It may not be improper for me to that I have given some thirty years of study and effort to subordinate and make amenable to the law tho railroad corpora- Ions, not because hostility to them or prejudice against them, but for tho attainment of justice between them and their patrons. I have always recognized and them as among the most beneficial agents of progress, prosperity and civiliza- ion." teen of Milwaukee to Mint of Prwitont RooMvelt for UM White HOUM. or to bo hunjf In of other Ooverr- mont In Washington.

She left her sister's house about 0 o'clock, apparently bound for her own home. She never went there, however, until carried thence in tho undertaker's gloomy wagon Monday night.

She went to the drug store or Leopold Simon, at 1,217 South Flores street, and purchased two ounces of carbolic acid. From the store she went to the home of Mrs. Smith, where she asked permission to go into ths spare room and lie down, saying she had epent the night at her sister's, but had not slept because of the noise made by her sister's small child. She went into tho spare room and locked the door. A short time afterward screams heard emanating from the room.

Under tho Constitutional amendment carried by the recent election, tho Court of Appeals and Supreme Court consolidate on April 6 next and two of the seven Judges provided for are to be named by the Governor.

The Legislature will meet one week before the term of the Governor begins. During that time, or prior, the State canvassing board will declare the amendment adopted. Governor Peabody will appoint, and the Senate, Republican, will confirm them. Should the Democrats control tha Senate, Mr. Pea- liody's selections will not be ratified and Mr.

It appears that tho Democrats will control the Seriate by a majority of two or three, unless tho State canvassing board throws out several Democrats and seats the Republican candidates.

Nov. 26, and was checked by the Russian flre. Although the flghtlng had lasted three days the Russian troops were In excellent spirits. A later dispatch from Gen. Kuropatkin reports that the night of Nov.

Kuropatkin reports that there has boon active 'skirmishing on the left flank for three days. The opinion Is now expressed by tho General Staff that the Japanese intend taking the offensive, they can afford to wait until the Russians are further reinforced. It is held that fighting to. the westward Is doubtless with the purpose of feeling out the Ruslan positions, preparatory to an advance in that direction; but as there are about 7,000 troops southwest of Sintinsin, where fighting occurred on Nov. 26, and twice as many -more in the mountains of Blatzupulz and Slnslntln, any Japanese move from this quarter would entail serious fighting.
