1--WE have federal and state legisla-
ton againct the consolida ion Of paral-
lei 7nd~ rnTneting railroad lines, and
neither President Roosevelt nor Gov.
Van SAINT has permitted these laws to
lie obsolete. They have not acted in
my sense of hostility to the railroa ds.
'Dt from high sense Of public duty.
The builders and managers of our
Northwest Pm trunk lines have done a
noble end important service. We are
~THt opposed to the consolidation so
7',urh through fear of what these men
would do. but they are getting well
