withholding a declaration of the call, and by
Mr. Staub Withdrawing his motion.
The Railroad committee reported adversely
on the bill prohibiting railroad companies
from issuing passes to State officers, mem
bers of the legislature, or to any persons ex-
cepting officers and employees of the rail
roads.
Mr.. Carter, of Waterbury, said he had
hoped the committee would have reported q
substitute bill at least, as the subject was one
which had attracted the attention of all the
people of the State. It is their opinion that
members of the legislature should not accept
free passes, and very many gentlemen whose
opinions are worth something believe that
passes influence the members indirectly. on
matters relating to railroad legislation. There
is way in which the passes may become an
influence in an opposite direction. That is,
some members to avoid suspicion of being
influenced may sometimes vote to refuse
railroad companies requests which were prop
er and fair, just for the purpose of showing
their independence. Again, there is feel
ing that the judges are doing wrong in ac-
cepting passes Mr.. Carter, however, said
that he was not prepared to admit that any
| judges were improperly biased by receiving
passes. There will be moro agitation of it
in the future and the people will have it in
mind in the selection of their representatives.
Mr. Frisbie, of Farmiugten, said that
whether right or wrong the people think the
| legislature is influenced in favor of railroads.
