The system of free passes over railroads

could understand why one man sborId

one Judge or lawyer should travel free and
another pair not; why one mechanic or
merchant should transact his business Of
the expense of stockholders and another
contribute towards dividend why one
preacher should travel free, a second nav
nall, ana a third perhaps full fare; or WHY
one politician should pursue his calling
under the patronage of a pass and another
reach in his pocket at every station. And
The worst feature in this system has been
the fact that majority of these free pass
