The Star Alright on the Pass Nuisance


fit is true, as some contend,
that members Of the legislature
cannot afford to refuse passes and
the state cannot afford to bug
them for members, how does it
happen that railroads can be so
generous as to give transportation
as mere matter of courtesy!
There is only one honest way to
meet the problem if the people
think their losses are greater than
their gains, by the system which
accords to these public servants
free transportation by the COM
mon carriers of the state, they
should prohibit the use OF passes.
They then should proceed to make
a square business deal for securing
transportation for public officers.
If railroads can afford to give
transportation, surely the state
can afford to pay for it if satisfied

interesting and instructive to watch

ations of the governor, aud also how
sincere the party in power is in the
peoples welfare as outlined in its

are alright but their fulfillment is
better. The last session Of the legis-
