w. T. LaFollette, the newly elected
railway commissioner; favors the enact
ment OF bill to compel the railroads
Of the state to furnish free transporta-
tiOn to all members Of the legislature
and the state officers. He argues that
average human nature is too weak to
refuse pass and that the beneficiary,
having accepted one, is unconsciously
wrapped in favor Of the railroads. He
believes that If the state held a revolt
yer at the head OF the passenger agents
and forced them to issue the passes, the
recipient would feel under no obligation
TO the road. The theory is that when
one man accepts a gift he cannot help
feeling aspreciative OF it, but that booty

The need Of greatly improved
laws restricting immigration, so
as to largely exclude all foreign
labor from the shores ofIthis coun-
try until labor conditions here are
much improved, grows pressing.
The influx OF three quarters Of a
million foreign laborers on the
soil Of this country within this
year, as now seems not improbable,
would be very disastrous to the
labor interests Of our people. In
a government of the people, by the
people and for the people, such
legislation as will prevent this
fatal interferences with the wage
earnings Of the people, is really
demanded in the public interest.
