A creature Of the railway corpor atoms has in
troduced into the Illinois legislature bill which
proposes that any person who shall sell, or offer
to sell, any railway ticket or coupon shall pay
a fine Of ffty dollars and suffer Imprisonment
in the county jail for thirty days, ualess such
person shall exhibit an authority to do so from
the general passenger agent of the com ,any is
suing the ticket. As the only cases to which
such law can properly apply are those where
passengers purchasing a through ticket COZ
clude, for any reason. to travel only to o GER
tain point short Of the distance named in the
ticket. and dispose of the unused portion, we
suppose the next move will be to prevent, by
legal enactment, man who has bought a bar
rel OF apples or q bolt of muslin from selling
that portion thereof which he does not need.
There Is just as much reason IN one case as in
the other, and none in either. The man who
buys and pays for a railroad ticket has the same
right to sell that ticket, or any unused portion
Of il, that he has to sell any other honestly &C
quired property.
OF course such q bill is not likely TO pass any
legislative body, and if 1t did the courts would
not allow 1t to disgrace the statute books very
long; but the fact that IL Is offered shows at
once the grasping tendency of the monopolists,
and the Importance of setting barrier to their
extTayagant demands.
