OUR CANDIDATE IN 1900
"The Anti scalplng Bill"

A measure is pending before con-
gress to prevent the sale of passage
tickets for railroad or steamboat
transportation, except by regular au-
thorized agents of transportation
companies. A large part of the evil
complained of the transportation
companies themselves are responsible
for, and can correct by simply being
honest with each other, and with the
public. 1t is undeniably true that
scalpers obtain tickets for transporta-
tion from transportation companies
direct in many instances at prices
which enable them to sell at a profit

portation tickets claimed by the own

But transportation purchased and
paid for, should by law be available
for use in the hands of any person

its sale. If over different lines of road,
the agent selling it must account for
it to his company, which must pay
their proportionate share to each of
the different lines of road, each OF
which if owned and operated by the
company owning and operating it
when the ticket was issued should ac-

and no traffic arrangement should ex-

might not sell tickets over its own
lines at any rate it sees fit below the
maximum rate established by law.
