1t took a long time and a lot of work
to do it, but it appears that after a while
the railroads have about got to the point
OF raising the hair of the ticket scalpers
The occupation Of the scalper seems to be
doomed. He will have to turn his talents
to some other sort of business. He has
been legislated out in both New York and
New Jersey, and a bill is pending in con
gress to prohibit him from doing busi-
ness in interstate traffic. Further than
this, a Chicago railroad man has invent
ed a style of tickets which he says will
prevent scalping when they are used. The
return coupons are not to be delivered
to the traveller until he has arrived at his
destination and is about to make the re-
turn trip. The smart scalper, however,
would probably be able TO find some way
to beat the new tickets. But he cannot
beat legislatures and congress-.
There may have been a time when the
ticket scalping business was in demand.
If there was such time, it no longer ex-
lists. There is not a reputable railroad in
the country but will redeem its unused
tickets that are valid for passage. The
claim that the broker is a necessary mid
dleman between the public and the rail-
roads, securing to the former lower rates
than they could otherwise secure, does
not hold good. AS matter of fact, the
broker is a hindrance rather than a help
He is an annoyance to the railroads, and
forces them to make conditions that are
more or less onerous, which would not be
made if he were out of the way. They
are also forced TO maintain stiff rates in
order to recoup themselves for revenues
which should go to them but which go
into the pockets of the brokers. The
scalping business also affords dishonest
railroad officials a medium through which
to cut each others threats surreptitiously,
and thus work injury TO reputable and
legitimate railroad enterprise and through
them to the public at large
The New York anti-scalping bill pro-
vides for the redemption OF all unused
tickets and coupons at the rate paid for
them. A similar bill is now before con-
gress. Should it be passed and signed by
the President il would send tho scalpers
into permanent retirement. 1t is to be
hoped that it will be speedily passed.

actly like and in the others closely like
