CONGRESSIONAL PASSES

Congressn an Stokes has introduced
oill in Congress to prevent the use
of passes by Congressman. Federal
judges, heads of Executive Depart
meots. etc 1t is doubtful whether it
ever gets through as such innovations
are Dot we'll received generally by the
national legislators. Mr. Stokes bill
is as follows:
Section / From and after the pas
sage of this Act, it shall be unlawful
for ATTY common carrier or any person
as its agent OF representative to
furuish or to offer to furnish to any
Senator or member Of Congress. or to
aoy Federal Judge, OF any head of an
Executive Department, or Chief of
Division or Bureau, any transportation
free or at less rate than is offered to
the general public. except as authorized
in Section %, of the interstate com-
merce Act.
Section 2 It shall be unlawful for
any Of the officers designated in Sec
ton |, to accept or to use transporta-
ton free or at less than the rate COM
mon 70 the public.
Section 8. For the purposes of the
Act the term common carrier is con.
strued to include ali corporations en-
gagged 10 the business of transportation
for bire. and all corpor ations en-
gagged in the business Of transmitting
intelligence for hire
Section 4 Any person violating or
eyading the provisions of the Act.
shall upon conviction thereof, be 6oed
one hundred dollars for each violation
or Imprisonment for thirty days or both
in the discretion Of the court.
This bill em bodies. public propriety
if no. public necessity Yeas ef'er
year congress is called upon to vote

way of subsidies to common carriers.
for special services.
Heads Of departments have the Civ
ing Of contracts involving millions
more. The Judiciary are called upon
continusily to pass upon causes involv
ing large ioterest to these same corpo-
ratious The most elementary sense
of propriety would suggest that not
even the snal consideration of free
pass or special rate should be allowed
in the scale with the discharge of
duty
Many Of ebe States prohibi. the use
Of free passes either by statute or by
constitutional provisions But this
does notreacb The evil so far as national
officers are concerned. Members of
Congress have been heard to argue
.ha. their State Law does not reach fur
theS than the limits of their State; ;.
aud, therefore. they can use free passes
outside the State with impuni.y.
While this is literally true. it i'll be-
comes Que entrusted With bigh respon-
sibili.y By his State to evade the spirit
Of the laws of bis State This shows
the need Of some general national legis
lation.
