Rock Island railway securities 11
have not collapsed on account of j
any famine in traffic. The Fris- ■
co railroad didn’t plunge into a i
receivership as the sequel to ]
hard times. The New York j
New Haven & Hartford rail
road did not suspend dividends \
because transportation had 1
died in New England. j
What happened in each of ]
these three cases which now (
cloud the financial Horizon was j
this: They loaded their proper- j <
ties with more capital stock than \
the traffic could carry. For no j
transportation reason and out
of no traveling necessity what
ever each one multiplied capital ,
obligations too rapidly.
It may be fortunate for the
many railroads that have not
done any kite flying to be fore- J
ed to undergo federal supervision
when issuing stocks and bonds,
but congress, having the three
very glaring examples cited im- J
mediately before it, may be in
a Humor to enact restrictive leg
islation.
Hence it is that the railroads
themselves have supplied a
stronger argument in favor of,
such supervising legislation than J
any congressman ever could
Have intended. That a great
railroad system like the Rock j
Island stands at the threshold of i
complete financial reorganiza
tion, after a decade of what, on
the average, Had been the fattest

railroad years in our history, is
highly distressing.
All American railroads suffer
somewhat as a result of such ep
isodes. The public grows suspic
ious, the investor becomes a
larmed and the foreign owner of
our securities is disposed to sell.
No well-managed railroad need
fear, but rather rejoice, if it
becomes impossible in future for
a repetition of Rock Island, Fris
co and New York, New Haven
& Hartford. —Memphis News

Chicago Women Voters.
Although novices in politics,
the women of Chicago have ex
cited admiration by the way
they have organized and got out
their voters on the first registra
tion day for the aldermanic pri
maries.
It was their first experience,
and only candidates for minor
city offices are to be nominated
at the coming primaries. Yet
153,897 women registered.
In New York in 1911, an off
year, with the Tammany and
Republican organizations at
work, the total registration for
the five boroughs the first day
was 159,379 only 5,482 more
than the number of women who
registered in Chicago.
It is probable that on the sec
ond registration day next month
;he women in Chicago will add
LOO,000 more names to the rolls.
Liasi weex mey iar exceeded
their own expectations, and with
>0,000 women organized in ad
vance to see that the qualified
vomen voters register, Chicago
nay be prepared for more sur
mises.
Men, whom the laws have
reated as voting animals by na
ture, are disposed to regard reg
stration and primaries as an af
liction. They have to be drilled
very year by tremendous efforts
n the duties of citizenship. In
Chicago the new voters among
the women were quite able to
take care of their own forces
without outside persuasion.
Baby stations and trained nurs
3s ahd toys for the children
vhose parents were away regis
tering have not been provided in
the past to induce men to vote
it the primaries. As a rule, on
ly a small proportion of the men
have been in the habit of taking
any keen interest in primaries.
Possibly the Chicago women, by
their example, will teach men
better. It would be worth while
if they could.—Memphis News
Scimitar.
All Claims Now Paid.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, March 4.—It is
announced by the State Bank
Department that all claims a
[jainst the Ashley County Bank
at Hamburg, which went into
the Hands of the Commission on
lanuary 11, have been paid in
Full. These claims, deposits and
Dills payable, amounting to
£146,000, include all liabilities,
except that to the stockholders,
rhe adjustment was handled
exclusively by the Bank Depart
ment, assisted by the Special
Deputy Commissioner. It is one
)f the rare instances in the his
;ory of the state that a defunct
sank Has been able to meet all
ts obligations at par.

Washington, March 6.—By or
lers of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, railroads operating
n states where 2-cent passenger
Fare laws are in force, will be
•ompelled, after May 1, to sell
