Ex-Prairie Grove Man Made Head of Denver, Rio Grande
Dispatches from New York announce the J. S. Pyeatt of Houston, formerly of Prairie Grove this county has bee promoted from the presidency of the New Orleans, Texas and Mexico Railroad company to the presidency of the re-organized Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad company which has merged with the first named since it was aquired by the Missouri-Pacific.
Mr. Pyeatt's rise in the railroad world has been rapid. After serving in various capacities with the Perc Marquette and other compnanies he became superintendent of the St. Louis-San Francisco system in 1910.
Shortly after he was made president of the Frisco and general superintendent of the Texas lines, including properties now constituting the Gulf Coast lines. During the receivership of the Gulf Coast lines Mr. Pyeatt was general manager for the receiver and on termination of the receivership in 1916 he was made president of the reorganized roads. The road over which Mr. Pyeatt will preside runs from Denver to Salt Lake City, about 600 miles.
Mr. Pyeatt visited his mother in Prairie Grove a few months ago.

Business & Finance
Dehydration and Taxes
Nov. 17, 1941
The ICC's long-term plans to dehydrate the capital structures of bankrupt railroads last week ran afoul of the Treasury's plans to wring more taxes from industry. Chairman John Samuel Pyeatt of the Missouri Pacific Railroad—in receivership since 1933—sent a letter to 40,000 bondholders, urged them to reject the ICC-sponsored reorganization plan.The plan, which would replace the 5% bonds with income bonds, cuts capitalization from $671,206,000 to $560,479,000. This smaller capitalization would reduce the excess-profits tax exemption and increase Federal taxes sixfold. Chairman Pyeatt figured that before first and refunding bondholders could get the 5% due them on their present securities, profits under the proposed plan would have to hit $87,000,000, which is $52,000,000 more than MOP ever earned.
