fore favor an amendment TO eur National
Constitution which shall forever prohibit
any Congress tIom increasing their own COM
pensation.
RECORD, That the subject of cheap and
reasonable rates of transportation has be-
come of pressing importance to the great
body of our people, both East and West, and
to the producer and consumer, and that il is
necessary that some proper legislative meas
ure should be speedily adopted to secure re-
liet and protection against the greed and OPP
preston OF grasping monopolies, we urgently
recommend what has been already urged in
two annual messages OF the prese nj execut-
i've, the creation of Board of Railroad Con.
troll, whose duty il shall be 10 examine the
whole subject OF transportation and freights
and report the facts in relation thereto, and
prescribe and adjust such regulations as will
be fair and equitable both 10 the people and
the railway companies.
RESOLVED, That the vast importance of
railroads to the general PROSPERITY and BUSH
ness OF the country, is cheerfuly acknowI-
edged, and we would extend TO them all
proper facilities for their management so as
10 produce fair return for capital invested
IN them; that we claim, nevertheless, the
right, under our constitution, to regulate
their conduct, or, If necessary, TO repeal the
charters under which they exist; that while
we should deprecate the necessity tor the
exercise OF this power, still, if such neces-
sity should arise, will insist upon II TO such
an extent as will protect the people against
extortiou from monopolies of this kind.
RESOLVED, That we disapproye of the
practice which has heretofore prevailed of
public officers accepting free passes upon
railroads. Ii creates an embarrassing obi
cation upon the part Of the officer which he
can only properly cancel by the payment of
an adequate sum in money. II has tendency
TO influence and often does influence Official
action. They are given as a tribute TO the
officer and not as mark of respect TO the
man to whom the pass is given. 1t imposes
large tax upon the stockholders of railroad
companies who indemnify themselves Dy in
creased and oppressive charges upon the le-
giilmate paying business done upon their
roads, and we believe that the use of such
