introducing address. She had the band
play America and Mrs. Foster called
that this was also the national air Of

NEED NO CHANGE.
President Ripleys Says Old Passenger
Association is All Right.

President Ripley, of the Atchison, To-
peka & Santa BE, says: THE failure
SO far to complete the organization of
the proposed new transcOntinenta1 pas
senger association is not significant. Re
lations between the roads interested in
the traffic which 1T is proposed to place
under the control of the new association
are as harmonious as they have ever
been. I know of no satisfaction on
any of the questions that might be in
volved. Western passenger business has
increased heavily in the last year, be-
cause people are more prosperous and
have more money to spend. The tourist
travel to Colorado and to California in
particular has grown largely. The
Atchison company, however, does not
consider it necessary to organize a new
passenger association. We have not
favored the plan, for one, because we
consider that it involves needless ex-
pense, and that the extension of the au-
thority of the Western Passenger asso-
citation is all that is required. Because
we have taken this position, however, it
is not true that we are opposed to the
other roads. We are in accord with
them and will act with them"
