State Mr. Epps said from what he could
learn most OF the roads were anxious to
see the law work smoothly, and We're as
sisting in every possible way to see that
it was properly executed; but that he
had reason to believe that certain other
roads We're seeking TO make the law OBJ
noxious to the travelling pubic, SO as 10
render it unpopular.
He said he thought it was the Railroad
Commissioners duty to see that the law
was properly enforced, and he hoped the
roads would be made to respect IT'S pro
visions. Mr.. Epps idea is that unless the
railroads do cooperate in the proper eX-
ecution of the law the next Legislature
will so amend it as to provide that the
conductor cannot require passenger to
give up his ticket until he is properly
seated, according to the provisions OF
the act
THE law concluded Mr.. Epps. has
come to stay. and all parties concerned
might as Well prepare to abide its pro-
visions.
