Special orders. No. s, an act to prohi-
bit passes was taken up. Senator Wilson
of Orleans proposed an amendment that
editors and publishers of newspapers and
ministers of the gospel be included In the
saving provisions of the bill amendment
adopted.
Senator Clarke favored the bill, occupy
ing the attention of the senate for about an
hour, in written speech. The senator
first considered the constitutional ObJec-
tons to the bill made by the majority of
tao committee in their adverse report, and
detailed the history of the Dartmouth col
lege case, so far as it applied to the ques-
ton at issue. BY the first charter granted
to tie Vermont Central railroad, vermont
gave away the right Ia amend and alter
the act of incorporation by subsequent leg
is'atiOn, and 50 sacrificed right which be-
lonrs to The free and Independent people.
The railway corporation belongs to the
public. and is subject to public control.
As to the other objection, that a natural or
artificial person cannot be deprived by pub
lie statutes of the right to give away its
own, the answer is, that when the mana
gers of the rold give away the privilege of
free pass, they give away that which be-
longs not to them, but to the owners of the
road. The free pass abuse has grown to
such dangerous proportions that it Is the
pressing duty of the public to put a stop
to it.
Senator Smith of Addison, said that he
would like to know what the center and
circumference of this great abuse was
Where were those manpulati0us with
which the people would indicate their dis
approval of the gross abuses which the
Senator from Franklin would have us be-
lievc existed ? He did not understand that
there were any petitions before the conf
mittce praying for correction of these
abuses. He thought the railroads were en-
titled to manage their own affairs without
legislative interference.
Senator I.add opposed the bill.
