BURTNESS OPPOSES | | CONSOADATIG ACT North Dakota Congressman Would Repeal Law and De- vise Petition Plan Consolidation of the the country into regional groups un- der the provisions of the present transportation act is not regarded as the wisest method of merging by O. B. Burtness, representative of the First North Dakota congressional dis- trict in the house at Washington. He favors repeal of the arbitrary provi- sion in the existing law, under which it 1s made mandatory on the Inter- state Commerce commission to effect such regional combinations. In its place he would enact legislation for the guidance of the commission in any future consolidations, as on petitions. | He says in a communication to The ‘Tribune: “A tremendously important ques- tion before the country is what the future has in store in the consolida- tion of railroads, se “The interstate commerce commis- ston has now attempted to comply with the ill-advised provision in the transportation act of 1920, instructing it to prepare a plan along the lines of which all future consolidations must take place. It is ridiculous to as- sume that all vital questions of im- portance in every state of the union should be carefully considered by the commission in one investigation where neither shippers nor carriers participated. “The plan now proposed will prob- ably be useful in attracting more | , careful and intelligent consideration to the problem, but it should not be as the final word. “I believe congress should promptly be Th repeal the arbitrary provision in the 1920 act and enact legislation pro- viding a legislative guide for future the for unification are presented, due consideration must be given to the maintenance of competition, the pro- motion of economy, the affording of better service, the preservation and improvement of service by necessary weak or short lines, simplified and more effective regulation, the estab- Mshment of systems well-balanced within themselves and with other systems, and other factors in the pub- Me interest. “I will not now comment on the suggestions for the Northwest except to say that I am disappointed in any 1 that would end our systems at the Twin Cities. Such omits the important factor of obtaining a “well- balanced " in the sense of a diversity of commodities carried. Northwestern railroads should be connected up with roads leading at least to Chicago, such as the Bur- lington, and thus obtain the benefit of a greater density of traffic as well as the transportation of relatively tions on bulky farm products. Even transcontinental systems might ulti- mately be preferable. “I feel I can assure the public that the entire question will have the early attention of the committee on interstate and foreign commerce of the house, of which I am s member.” Bulletin on Stinking Smut Now Available | * Bunt 8 covered smut, is very common and destructive in the spring wheat re- gion, according to Bulletin 231 on varietal to bunt.
