THE RAILWAY WORLD.
THE ANrI-soaLpER LAW MAY nm
SETTLED.
An Opinion Upon Its constitutiona,.
ity cnn He secured From the AZ
torney cencrai--The Travel
ing Passenger Mca.

The constitutionaliiy Of the an,l.scalper
law as passed by the Twenty-thlrd iegls-
laiture Is question that Is lust now Won
ryinE the passenger men and the ticket
brokers OF Texas.
Up 20 the present time the latter riaas
seem to have had the pes, OF the nvh,
Judge Brashear OF Houston recently ruled
the law unconstitutional as applied to a
local case, and recently Judge Johnson
made . similar decision at Fort worth m
the case of the state ys. Griswold Tor
selling tickets in violation Of the ticket
broker law.
Yesterday however. Frank Andrews
assistant attorney general made a state
ment that win throw new light upon tho
subject He was questioned In regard to
the laws validity and refused 10 express
an opinion. But when asked if the at
torncy generals office would hand down
an opinion upon the constitutionalttv Of
the law, should the request for same
pc made. he replied that IL would certainly
do SO, provided the request came from the
proper source.
This being the case, any county nttor-
ney IN Texas can ask for an opinion upon
the subject. and the attorney aenerai,s
verdict VIII DO readily reached, Nn onin-
lon from such source would have an
effect OF course upon minor oftlciais
throughout the State II it decides in Ia
yor Of the law, the passenger mon will
feel called upon 70 continue the arrest
of ticket brokers who are violating same
and 2 decision against the business would
no doubt soon be renched. Then some
seaipsr would appeal the case, the matter
would be brought before the higher courts
and thus final decision reached ia the
matter. As Il IS now. the yerdicts are all
against the State. and OF course can not
be appealed.
II is quite likely that the attorney gem
erals opinion upon the law win he soon
called for us the question is at present
