At the recent meeting of the Directors of the La Crosse and Milwaukee Road there was a free discussion of some of the leading principles which should govern railroad management and financial operations. Among other subjects that of stock and bond dividends was thoroughly examined. The effect of such dividends in the case of other roads was adduced by the opponents of the policy. It was shown that this method of dividing profits was unsatisfactory to share holders, and had no beneficial effect in sustaining the market value of the securities of the roads-that the public found it difficult to understand that two certificates of stock were of any more value than one, both representing the same thing. It was finally resolved by the Board that the settled policy of this Road should be never, under any circumstances, to make a stock or bond dividend: that the earnings of the Road should be divided in cash or not at all. Under this resolution, the only future issues of securities by this road will be the Land Grant bonds and the accompanying privilege stock. The July dividend was talked about, and it was informally decided that it should be 6 P cent in cash. The earnings, it was understood, would justify a somewhat larger division, but it was thought best to retain a good surplus. It was believed that semi-annual dividends of 6 P cent could be permanently sustained, with an occasional surplus dividend in cash.
