Opinions Of RAILROAD Men.

~,
B. f. Yoakum, President Of Frisco
There will be harmony and complete
understanding not only between the
public and the {: railroads, but also
among the railroads themselves. Such
a state of affairs should be the ulti-
mate aim of all railroad legislation.
I would not like to- prophecy as to
the exact means that will be employed
in reaching this end or as to the time
when this complete harmony will
come to pass. I should say, however,
that the most Important element
working for this end is the hard COM
mon sense of the. American people,
which is realizing that its interests are
common with the interests Of the
transportation companies.
E. B. Ripley, President Of Atchison
Mine people out of ten are glad to
see the western roads maintaining a
the people are ready to help the roads
maintain that front. They do not
look with favor upon large railroad
consultations, the ,centralizing Of op-
posing railroads interests. This matter
will adjust itself, and combinations

own punishment ttt
