We do not hesitate to condemn
the passage of the hill authoriz-
ing members of the Legislature to
accept free passes from railroads
rs srsndalous In Our Judgment
it will result, and ought to result,
in the defeat OF many members Of
the present general assembly
when they appear before the peo-
pie seeking re-sIsction. This &C.
tion VAS taken with eyes open to
the way in which 4 grab for pass.s
would no regarded by the public
and after ample warning of tho
political peril of it's indulgence
As the case now stands, 4 majori-
ty of the members Of the honss
and senate have voted themselves
five cents = mile ont of the State
treasury for railroad travel, when
their railroad expenses to and
from Columbia need not exceed
three cents n milo; and IN addition
thsv have repealed the law which
has heretofore operated to prevent
then from legally accepting free
transportation from railroads.
Those who voted for this bill have
shown their willingness to make
the State pay them for expenses
not actually incurred and = will
ingness to put themselves un-
der personal obligations to the
railroad corporations upon whom
they must a. legislators sit in
judgment; and in tho manner OF
their doing this thing thoy are
expected to furnish free transport
tatlon and may suffer for it if they
fail to do so. Looked ut from
aay standpoint it is a most dis
graceful proceeding, and it will
probabl y go far toward making
tho issue of the next campaign
one OF public protection from the
rule of corporations.
The Commoner, Bryan's paper,
reached us yesterday with the
following editorial pertinent to
the subject of this article:
What is the purpose Of a rail
road in giving a pass Z If it is
given by the freight department
to a shipper it is probably given
for business reasons, but suppose
it is given to legislator, is it
given for business reasons also 2
Some say that it is courtesy OK
tended without any reasoa In
particular. In order that the
readers of The Commonsr may
have the highest expert testimony
on this subject the following letter
is reproduced:
"Your letter of the 22d to
President Ripley requesting an
annual over the railroad of this
company has been referred to me.
A couple of years ago, after you
had been furnished with an annual
over this line, you voted against
. bill which you know this COM
MANY vss dirsctIy interested in.
The Lancaster ledger. [volume] (Lancaster, S.C.) 1852-1905, 1901-02-20


Do you know of any particular
reason, therefore, why we should
favor you with an annual this
year Z"
This letter was written to
member of the Illinois legislature
by the attorney of tha Santa Fe
railroad, of which Mr.. f = Ripley
is president. 1t is of recent date
and was read on the floor of the
house of representatives 1t states
as plainly as language can that
railroad gives passes to legislators
as matter of business, expecting
to receive N valuable consideration
in return, and it shows fu ther
that the legislator who refuses to
recognize the pass as bribs must
not expect to get any more passes.
A similar case occurred in Ne
braskn fsw years ago when a
pass issued to member of the
Legislature was recalled because he
voted tor maximum rate bill
which the railroad objected to.
Unless n legislator cnn produce
better evidence of the railroads
purpose than the railroads own
admission, he cannot accept a pass
without admitting either that he
intends TO repay tho railroad in
service or that be secures the pass
under false pretenses
We suggest to the members of
tho general assembly who voted
for this bill to apply Mr.. Bryan's
logic to their own cases. If they
shall not they may bs sure the
people will.
Shall this worthy and dis
creditabls measure be allowed TO
become lawl A large majority
of tue people of South Carolina,
~s are sure, would deplore such
an addition to the statutes of the
year. We know of mon who if
they held the office of governor
would he delighted to have tho
opportunity of vstoing it and
thereby serving notice on the gen.
