M queJquc a few DAYS ago
w President Ripley Of the

with railroad business conditions to
tain Tor publication. by the time he
had passed through Kansas. how
cvet. and discussed with his frcight
trafhr Managers tho handling Of r.
iso. 0bo, eOO bushel wheat crop Ia that
state, he had 20 chcered up ns To
feel like expressing his well known
views upon government regulation OF
the railroads. Here IA what he said.
as quoted by the Kansas City Jour
nal:
The United states government
has constructed a ceiling above which
the railways Of the country canno
rise. but has neglected to construct
q bottom ihro IN which they cannot
fall
"Ali that the railroads have To do
In 90 rustic the money To- pay the

ton cannot last always. When a

In your opinion. Is the country
drifting toward government owner

asked.
I'VE are drifting toward a radical
change Of some kind was the reply.
The present systcm OF railway nan
agefnent Is breaking MP. Whether
We will have the misfortune of FoV-
eminent ownership I am unable to
say but this Is certain the trans
portation companies viii have to be
allowed to earn a sufficient sum Of

paftment successfully causes thinking
citizens 60 shudder when they con
template government ownership Of
railroads, with their control, through

nHnds Of employees In transportation

There are a great many people To
whom Mir. Ripley refers as thinking
c%itizens' who feel just about az he
does. that a definite I'D has been
built over The railroads, without sur
ficient reinforcement OF the bottom
Of the structure. and that a n n II
pretty certain To come.
strangely onough many OF these
are the same thinking citizens" who
were most cCtive and most effective
in securing regulation OF the worst
railroad abuses. These are OF the
opinion that for the present az least
the railroads have had sufficient res
ulating and that a rest viii do both
the railroads and the country good.
