are concealed. rhe anti-atrcraft

think that it must be admitted that
the tendency for many years past and
at the present time is strongly toward
Capitalization in all lines Of industry

centralized at comparatively few rail-

rivers to the exclusion of and at the
expense OF the county at large. And
this has been and will continue ex-
ceedingly detrimental to community
development and more general dis
tribution of population, wealth and

by the people to protect themselves
against the policy of railway and in

Gus state governments because they
are the benehciaries of many prefer
entail rates and other advantages.
The large railroads, on the other hand
are not concerned about the dignity
Of the sovereignty Of the various
states. Their chief consideration is
to promote industry and commerce
at and between those points which
will produce the largest volume of
transportation. Transportation is
their stock in trade and they are in
teested in producing and selling as
much of it as possible, comprising
long, double and treble hauls.
Trusting that deliberations of the
association at its annual meeting may
be successful in every way and that
ample provision may be made for
meeting the impending problems
which confront us and threaten the
sovereign powers of the states, I am.
