ANTI-SCALPER LAW.
Congress Has Now Taken the Matter
In Hand for Adjustment.

New Orleans Times Democrat
Congress has at last attacked that
growing abuse, ticket brokerage, or scalp
ing. as 1t is popularity called. which preys
upon the railroads and the travelling pub
lie; and a bill is now before the house. ia
vorably reported from the committee on
commerce, to be voted on February TO-
If public sentiment declares in its favor
the bill will be paEsed--as congressman
are willing to do whatever the people want
in this matter-and 1t is for this reason
that the Times Democrat appeals to the
exchanges and other commercial bodies OF
New Orleans to aid, by their sympathy
and support, the success OF this bill. Tue
interstate commerce commission has al
ready decuared in favor Of such law as
proper and necessary. The commerce COM
mittee of the house Is being FLOODED Win
petitions asking for its passage me ihef-
chants and business men OF 81. LOUIS are
unanimous in its favor, and petitions by

Perhaps no city in the Union is more III
tercstcd In getting rid of the scalpers than
New Orleans, the scaping business Keen
| ing away thousands of winter visitors troui
the city, and actually causing higher rates
here during our carnival season than wouia
| otherwise exist.
| In the consideration Of the matter con-
gress should be guided by the effect OF
the proposed law on the people Inc
scalpers do not deserve the slightest con
sideration. The scalping business. II not
an Legitimate one, is yet very devious,
and an encouragement of violation OF the
law 1t is based upon the theory oil beating
the railroads the scalpers telling the pub
lie that they will let 1t into the transac-
ton and divide the plumber. That the rail-
roads lose millions annually on their pas
senger business by scalping is true, but
the public secures no benefit whatever
from this plundering. The money goes into
the pockets OF the scalpers, not Few nl
whom are millionaires, and all that the
public gets from the business is limited
ironclad tickets and various other incoh-
veniences.
! It Is not in the interest OF the railroads
| however, that congress proposes to inter-

business, but In that OF the travelling pub

south for those who desired TO visit Cal

route from Denver to Galveston makes the

a little over | cent per mile. This action
on the part Of the Denver limos. with tho

The roads OF the Western Passenger as
ISOLATION have been voting upon their own
proposition to make reduced rates to the
scene OF the Corbett- Fit2smmons fight In
Nevada. The first proposition provides tor
a rate of $50 from the Missouri river for
the round trip, which is So less than the
way rate and which means a rate of So So
from Chicago. The other plan is to make
n round trip rate OF $40 less than the reg
ular rate between Chicago ana Reno, New.
which would mean a rate of $40 from chi
c9go.
Chances are very strong that the first
proposition will be carried; In fact one oil
the strongest roads in the Western Passon-
ger association has privately made the an
ncuncement that 1t VIII make the So. 20
rate. even though the association declares
against it. 1t has full right To make this
rate In contradiction to the action of tho
association by taking advantage of the
clause permitting Independent action at the
expiration of a ten days notice given to the
chairman Of the association.
The above controversy has caused little
talk among passenger men of the Texas
lines. There will be no meeting of the
Southwestern Passenger association for
some time. and a rate for the fight will
have to be agreed upon by the several pas
senger agents. A great deal will depend
on the rate made as quoted above. To IL
lustrate: The one way rate from Houston
to Carson City is s52. This Includes all
of the principal points In Texas, even San
Antonio. Now the rate from Kansas city
to Carson City is the same-$52. Tickets,
according to the rate sheet, can not be sold
TO Carson City via Kansas City. II is
probable that II the rate Is made In ac
cordance with the above mentioned rate
from Missouri river points, then the rate
from Texas made on the same basis, would
be $50. This is n question TO be decided.
