Los Angeles, Cal, March len an

Ripley, president of the Atchison, To-
peka G. Santa Fe railroad, who is now
In Santa Barbara. his winter home, is
quoted as saying that President Roose-
welt is responsible for the present un-
certain conditions in Wall street and
attributes the recent uneasiness to
brush fire which the president
started
Mr.. Ripley said that because of the
general antirailroad sentiment in the
country the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fee railroad is prepared to inaugurate
a policy of strict conservatism in the
matter of the expenditures and that
many contemplated improvements in
the companys property would have to
await more favorable conditions.
Mr.. Ripley also is quoted as saying
that he believes it is probable that
President Hartman of the Union Pa
cif1c will retire from active railroad
life within a year.
Mr. Ripley is quoted in part as fol-
lows:
81 can see no good to come from a
meeting with President Roosevelt

started a brush fire that now appar-
emily has become a confagration and
while 1 always have felt his motives
to be of the best. to me it appears to
be too late to stop the fires that are

Getting back to the subject of ap-
parent public hostility to railroad cor
porations. there is no doubt that to
this feeling alone must be charged up

district and while 1 have no desire to
pose as a pessimist so far as the Santa
Fe is concerned, we are prepared to
draw in. The Belen cutoff is nearly
completed and Will be ready for all

Discussing government ownership,
President Ripley said: MY personal
holdings in railroad securities are so
very small that can not be accused
of having a material prejudice on the
opposed to public ownership as an
American who loves his country and
has made study of the matter in all
its phases. 1 am convinced that gov
eminent ownership would mean the
downfall of the republic.
Speaking for the $4,000 odd stock
holders of the Santa Fe, should not
object to the government acquiring
the system provided it paid for the
property what it is worth. The capt.
talization is at the rate of $4,000 a
mile and it could not be duplicated at
that figure"
