railroads ofthis great United States.As an individual,and as your President,I am indeed delighted to again have the pleasure of this personalcontact with the membership,and I sincerely hope that all who arepresent today may have the good fortune to attend many more meet-ings,because I am sure that these meetings are not only educational,but beneficial in many other ways,at least I have found them so.Ijoined the Association twenty-three years ago,and have had thepleasure of attending thirteen meetings;I have never missed a meet-ing except for sickness or special demand upon my time by the rail-road which I represent.I have met worth-while people and formedmany enduring personal friendships,of which I am truly proud.Iwish to take this opportunity to thank the membership for the honorbestowed upon me in electing me the President of this Associationfor the year just closing,as I consider it a very great honor andprivilege to represent you.  \nIn order that the vast volume of work to be done by this Associa-tion may be accomplished with dispatch,the work is assigned tocommittees which are provided for in the Constitution;and arecomposed of men wel experienced in the class of work to be under-taken;thus the work of this Association is coordinated in the samemanner as the accounting work is coordinated on a Class I railroad.The duties of the Committee on General Accounts may well be com-pared with the duties of the Chief Accounting Officer and the staffhandling general,corporate and fiscal matters.The Committee onDisbursements with the Auditor of Disbursements,the Committeeon Freight Accounts with the Auditor of Freight Accounts,and theCommittee on Passenger Accounts with the Auditor of PassengerAccounts.The work of the other committees is likewise fully co·ordinated under the plan.The business to come before this con-vention is embodied in an agenda classified as to subjects and  \nformulated in reports of each of the committees I have mentioned.The agenda was distributed by the Secretary to the membership onApil 25,1927.In this way each member has been placed in aposition to fully inform himself concerning the business to comebefore this convention,and the action of the committee on anysubject;and each member is urged to take the floor promptly toseek further information on any subject not fully understood,or tochallenge any ruling made by any committee if he does not agreewith the committee's action,and when discussion is concluded,tovote promptly an approval of the report when there are no soundobjections,or to vote negative when there are sound objections;for,in this way only may we hope to obtain the best results in the solutionof the problems which come before us.When the vote is accom-plished it is the voice of the Association speaking and not the voiceof a committee.The agenda which is before this meeting containsapproximately 361 pages of data forming the reports of the com-mittes,and it shows conclusively that your committees have not beenidle during the past ","cbCaieg7O5u4I6Nc","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieg7O5u4I6Nc","pdf",452667,"English","# President's Address\n## Opening remarks and membership
