Nowmnn Erb, president of tho Minneapolis & St. Louis, -Denver & Salt Lnko, Ann Ar bor & Tonnossoo, Alabama & Qcorgta railroads, In an intonrlow here, said bo balloved government ownorshtp of railroads In tho United States Is lnerltablo. Mr. Erb Bald: "What I am going to say hero I hftvo already told President Wilson. And when I addressed tho President I opoko for and I now Bpcak for, vir tually every practical railroad man tn tho United States that Is to say every 'man Interested In tho owner ship of railroads. Nationalization Suro, Ho Says. "Tho nationalization of railroads Is as suro now as taxos. I was greatly : Ictorestod In Charles S. Motion's statement before tho IntcrsUto Com tnerco' Commission, but tho only troublo with that statement, as also with all othor statements given out by Interested porsons, Is that It only scratches tho surfaco of tho wholo truth. Tho huo and cry against theso rail roads has certainly been Justified In some Instances but tho reason for tho evils Increasing has been overlooked. Up to ten years ago tho men Identi fied' with tho mnnagoment of rail ways woro without ozcoptlon largo owners of tho railroad's capital. Whu'n monoy was spent for now equipment, for Increasing the mileage or for Improvements, tho hoods of tho roads used duo precaution for tho simple reason that It was largely their own monoy they woro spending.

Men who did not own a dollar's worth of stock woro olectod to Im portant oxecutlvo bodies, and It was no longor tholr own money spent. Bxtravaganco was therefore to bo ox poctod. "Far bo It from ma to suggest that J. P. Morgan mado ono cont Illegal ly oat or his firm's handling tho Now ataven'fl finances, but tho Morgan firm did mako hugo sums In commis sions as tho fiscal agents ot tho road and that Is tho dovlllsh nolo every railroad man in tho country is in to- THE RAINFALL day. There Is only ono plnco to go for monoy now tho bankB. DchIi-o Nationalization. "What Mollen did, virtually ovory railroad president has to do or go broko. For no road In tho U.nited States today can pay oxponscs and bo independent without outside fi nancial assistance. Thnt's why tho old order of railroad men aro pray ing for tho nationalization of tho ronds. "it is my great hope, and I know thoro Is not a mnn of my acquaint ance In tho railroad world who does not share my views, that tho adminis tration will act promptly. Tho long er tho roadB aro compolled to con tintio under privnto ownership tho greater must become tho differences betweon Incomo and outgo, with tho eventual result that our securities will bo down to a point that will spell ruin to tho hundreds of thous ands of sharoholdors." IUpley Foresees U. 8. Ownership, CHICAGO, Juno 26. E. P. Ripley, president of tho Atchison, Topoka, & Santa Fo Railroad, Is certain that government ownership of railroads In tho United States Is not far In tho future. In a statement horo, Mr. Rlploy said: "Tho present condition of things cannot stand. It is bound to fall. "Tho condition under which priv ate individuals furnish all tho cash, all tho monoy, and tho government assumes all tho managership without any responsibility that arrangoment cannot last. "What olso Is there left but gov ernment ownership? "That Is my conclusion. And I nm able, I think, to take an Impartial view of tho outlook of tho trend. Politics Greatest Peril. "I am gottlng on In years. 1 nm not a largo holder of railroad secur ities. 1 am not a candidato for office of any kind, political or railroad. My business Ufo Is protty well spent. I may stay around a few years more, but not many. I hnvo, as ovory good citizen has, tho interest of tho coun try, Us prosoprlty und its future at heart. "Wo hnvo never in this country been nblo to kcop our politics and our buslnoss separate "Tho only enso whoro tho govern ment did anything well was tho dig ging of tho Panama Canal.
