He opposed tentative plans of the commission for consolida tion of the Northwest reads into two system in such a manner ns te sepa rate his railroad nnd the Northern Pa cific from the Great Northern, and said the rearrangement should maintain North nnd Seuth traffic routes as well as transcontinental East and West routes through the West. "If any such East nnd West plan of consolidation Interferes with North nnd Seuth movement, will net nn articu lation of reads running North ami Seuth result in shutting off business nt the present free junction points and really reduce mntcrlnlly the nineunt of rnilrnnd operation at points like Coun cil Bluffs, Kansas City, Buffalo nnd the East?" asked Prof. W. Z. Uipley, author of the commission's tentative plan. "Perhaps be. My point Is that the commission either hasn't gene tnr enough or Iisr gene tee far," Mr. Ilol Ilel den responded. "If you combine the transcontinental lines in the North and give each one n line te the Southwest there xvlll be no expectation of n great amount of interchanging of truffle be tween reads. My conclusion Is that the transcontinental lines In the North must have a line through te the South west or nn open gatexvey." "Why den t the Western lines help us te esttmnte just whnt situation would be precipitated?" Prof. Ripley nsked. "If you who have the fund of Informa tion xveuld come te us. distend of leav ing us te set up consolidation proposals in necessarily somewhat academic fash ion it would help." Attempts had been made, the Bur lington president added, te get the Western reads te a joint consideration of consolidation plans.
