A ^PLICATION has been made to the Interstate Commerce Commission for authority
to weld the lines of The Kansas City Southern Railway Company, the Missouri-
KansaS'Texas Railroad Company and the St. Louis Southwestern Railway
Company into a transportation system in conformity with the general plan previously
announced. Approval of this application will be a distinct advantage to all interests
of the Great Southwest and to the public generally.
The proposed new Southwestern System extends from Kansas
City, St. Louis and Memphis, south, gridironing the extensive ter-
ritory between these cities and the Gulf. Entrance is provided to
all the principal cities of the Southwest and to the ports of Houston,
Galveston, Texas City and the Sabine District, including Port
Arthur, Beaumont, Lake Charles, Orange, Neehes and Sabine.
At Kansas Citv, St. Louis and Memphis, it affords connections
with the major trunk lines from the east, west and north.
Only by combining could these companies meet effectively the
competition of the other consolidated systems in this region, while
strength is given bv continuing the active interest of men who
have long operated the properties. A unified system, specifically
adapted to the transportation requirements of the Southwestern
territories, can better serve the need of its communities than
could several independent and disconnected railways. The opera-
tion of these three lines as a transportation system means improved
and expedited service.
Because the trade territories tributary to the three lines overlap
and supplement each other, opportunity for savings in trans-
portation charges and in the operar' >n of terminals is afforded.
Problems of rate regulation may be simplified, freight routes

shortened in time and in distance, and the efficient movement of
both passengers and freight expedited.
I'he Southwestern territory, extending roughly from the Missis-
3ippi River to the foothills of the Rocky Mountains and from the
Gulf of Mexico to St. Louis and Kansas City, is rapidly growing
ir population an J wealth, and in all forms of agricultural, mineral,
industrial and commercial activities. This wide-spreading territory,
an empire in itself, nearly as large as all of Europe without Russia,
needs at It ;*st one transportation system whose interests are its own
and whose commercial and civic objectives are unreservedly
identical. To this end, the bringing together of these three prop-
erties has been deemed amply justified, after much thought and
study.
The Kansas City Southern-Katy-Cotton Belt combination forms
a strictly Southwestern system, keeping within me general limits
as defined by the map shown above and putting forth constantly
increasing efforts to meet adequately the growing transportation
requirements of the Sonthv. -st. Lastly, the unified system will be
a determining factor in the preservation of the identity of the
Southwestern tcrntoiy as an integral trade area, and in the protec-
tion and enlarger >c )t xj'i exu-ung channels of trade and commerce.
