TaE bill to prohibit the use OF
two engines to pull one train, which
the legislature is now considering,
seems very much like class legis-

ding. Surely a railroad has as
much right to employ two engines
IN order TO pull longer train of
ears than can be pulled by one en-
CINE, as any sort of business has to
employ labor saving machinery.
