hour this morning the house passed two
bills including McLean's bill fixing pass
enger rates at Sih cents per mile. The Gus
tomary batch OF new bills was introduced
McLeans bill, No. Sc. came up on third
reading near the top of the calendar this
morning. II provides that no railroad or
steamboat company operating within the
state shall charge more than Jiz cents per
mile for carrying a single adult passen-
ger. Punishment for the violation or this
act is made fine not exceeding $1,000
and Imprisonment OF the agent or agents
1t is further provided that Ii any rail-
road company disobey the act and lnfict
the act. the person so charged may re-
cover in an action at law damages In
double the sum charged. together with
attorneys fees. costs, etc.
When the measure was placed on final
passage Mr.. Mclean said;
81 believe there is no necessity for me
TO make any argument for this bill. II
WAS first proposed TO make the rate 3
cents per mile. but after reflection this
was deemed unwsse. Many of the East
ern states have passenger rates OF and
2i4 cents per mile. In California the rate
is cents with as lew as / cent per mile
for excursions. Oregon has a 4-cent rate.
as has also Idaho. l consider that the
rate named In this bill Is eminently fair
alike 10 the people who are patrons OF
the roads and the companies themselves"
Pendergast said that there were some
objections TO the form OF the bill. He de-
clared the house should consider we'll
measures OF such vital Importance as the
bill under consideration. but he ended by
voting for IT. Bishop OF Jefferson said he
would vote against the bill. because of
the fact that II applied to steamboat COM
panies. Some OF the smaller steamboat
lines, he said. could not. carry people at
the fare named and not lose money.
Pratt voted for the bill. but said he
wished IL had been changed in form. The
