10 THE OMAITA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY, ArRIL 10. 1003. RICH ON MERGER DECISION Baji it Will Not Acply to Union Pacifio and Bonthern Pacific. BELIEVES IN CONSOLIDATION OF ROADS Argaea that I,ower Hates Will Resalt from Centralisation of meat and Cqnft Redac tion of Espeneee. "The decision In the case of the Northern Securities company will, In my Judgment, have no effect upon the relation! existing between the Union and Southern raclflc," Mid Edson Rich, associate counsel for the Union raclflc. Mr. Rich doea not belleTe In the apprehension fcateied by certain magnates interested In the Northern Se curities company that this decision will have the far-reaching effect of dissolving or disturbing every concern doing an Inter state business. "Only where there la an actual consolida tion or merger can this decision be ap plied," continued Mr. Rich. "Between the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific there Is no conservation; there is no positive community of interest In the sense In which that phrase has come to be generally lined In the railroad world. Some stock holders of the Union Pacific are stockhold ers of the Southern Pacific, but the man agements are separate and distinct, as are the corporations, and neither Is the holding company of tho other. I see, therefore, no chance for this decision to apply to these companies, or for that matter, to other companies similarly related. Objrct of the Snlt. "The primary object of the suit out of which this deelBlon has grown was to prevent the consolidation of the Northern Pacific, Great Northern and Burlington and stop IJI11 and his associates from tak ing over the stock of the Burlington all under one management and corporation, and the Immediate effect will be to ahut off the acquisition by the Northern Securi ties company of the Burlington. Aa for the Northern Pacific and Great Northern they were practically consolidated before this concern was organized. The Northern Securities company, therefore, was simply organized as a holding company. Tet I see no reason for not allowing Hill to take over the Burlington since the latter Is not a direct competitor or a parallel with either of his northern roads. The general purpose of this kind of law is to prevent the consolidation of two or more parallel and competing lines, since it Is generally recognized of course that the original pur pope of consolHatlon Is to shut off com petition. But there certainly could be no objection to all three of these companies being owned by the same Individuals so long as they were operated under separata managements, as Is the case largely with the Southern and Union Pacific. May Retard Consolidation. "This decision would seem to contradict the theory that all conditions point to an early consolidation of the great railroads of the country under one or two managements. If the decision stands It certainly will have the effect of retarding such a condition of affair. For my part I cannot see anything wrong in the pooling of railroad manage ments under one or two general heads. Aa a nation we are proceeding toward an era of centralization. This la inevitable; it is logical. I believe the time will come, and that within a comparatively short period, when the railroads of this country will be operated under centralized managements, and I can't see how It la going to be a bad thing for tho people either. In the railroad business, as in every other kind of bual ness, centralization simply means retrench ment. The more compact the organization the loss expensive the operation of the en terprlse. That is a patent fact which stands to reason. Now the logical aequence of this will be, or ought to be, a reduction instead of an Increase In freight and passenger rates. The courta have the power to enforce laws , with regard to railroads' aa well aa any ' other clasa of enterprises, and they can compel roads o cheapen rates In the same ratio as they will have cheapened their op erating expenses." Aa to Ilarllngttoc Affairs. Asaea n ne tnougnt the alleged con templated union of all the Burlington headquarters would be deterred by this recent merger decision, Mr. Rich replied In the negative. "If Mr. Hill can make one man do what three are now doing, have one headquarters, aay In Chicago or St. Paul, whereas he now has several, I don't see 'why he would not do It. That la the general tendency," eald Mr. Rich, "of tho railroad business. Take the case of Erastus Young, general auditor of the Union Pacific, Southern Pacific, Pa cifla Mall, Oregon Short line, Oregon Rail way ft Navigation company five companies. He takes the place of about three high pncea men ana la holding the greatest audltor'a position in the United States railroad world. Now It la Just such moves as this that I say can be made elements of strength In railroad managemcnta and of benefit to the patrons In the matter of cheaper rates." VILL REAPPOINT J. H. ADAMS City Attorney' Connell, If Re-Elected, Will Hare His Present Assistant at His Side. City Attorney Connell announced yester day morning that if reelected to his present office he will reappoint James H. Adama aa assistance rlty attorney. Mr. Connell, who i candidate for re-election on the re publican ticket said: Heretofore the mayor has had absolute control in the naming of all city officers ho were not, elected. Now that the charter has been amended the exclusive right of ppointlng the (assistant city attorney is given to the city attorney, but I should aay the appointment must be confirmed by the council. I think it is fair that the public should know In advance what la proposed to be done in the appointing of an assistant attorney, and I stand ready to proclaim my position In regard to the matter If lected. No one up to the present time, has approached me In any way regarding the appointment of any particular person. Acting on my own Judgement and having positive convictions aa to the most capable and competent man, In case of my election, the appointee will be Mr. Adama. It la admitted by all familiar with his work that he has accomplished great re sults. He originated and successfully pre sented the plea of estoppal against the non resident loan companies, which had pur chased a large amount of Omaha property on foreclosure sales, and has secured a final decision from the supreme court that in all of such cases where the purchaser In the foreclosure sale had deducted from the ap praised value of the property the taxes and assessment standing against the same the purchaser was forever estopped from set ting up the claim that the taxea and assess ments did not lie against the property. In this regard alone he haa saved the city of Omaha $250,000. In addition to that he haa sustained all special assessment equaliza tions which have been made subsequent to 1897, and It was through his efforts that the legislature passed the - curative bill, making It possible to' recover $500,000 in apeclal taxea, even though many of them are conteated.

Captain Kreps of the Twenty-second In fantry went to Winnebago agency last night to make preliminary arrangements for the target practice which the Twenty-second la to hav there during June, July and August. The practice for the men will extend over etz weeks and only on bat talion will be sent at a time. A practice march will be made from Fort Crook to the range on the agency and back again and at all tlmea during the six weeks conditions will be made as similar to Held conditions as la possible. The range on the agency la not all that might be desired, but It Is hoped that the land may be leased for five years and that a more permanent range may be made there. The department failed in the last sesaion of congresa to secure money for the purpose of improving the range at the agency and at Fort Leavenworth. At the latter place the prlnclplal expense In the creation of an elegant range was the grading,, and - the officers of the department have secured one hundred corvlcts to do the work. In so doing they expect to do almost all that the parsimony of congress would have kept tbem from. On the agency It Is somewhat different and $1,000 is aorely needed to make the range an Ideal one.
