CLAIM SCRIP

Railroad Officials CritiCiss the
Protest Of Local Merchants.
WOOL CAUSES WRY FACES
MALAD VALLEY RAILROAD AND
NEW BEET SUGAR PLANT.

Railroad officials are not inclined 20
take the protest against the scrip book
very seriously. They believe that the
arguments advanced do not represent
the sentiment of the merchants i'm gen
eral. One of the officials said yester-
day:
''The protest was framed by persons
who obtained the signatures OF al least
two people who have never used them.
and / presume some Of them put their
signature 20 the protest as matter
of accommodation. / know that this
Is the case in several instances. When
they state that the book is more eX-
pensive and less convenient than the
former system of mileage i can show
| them that they are mistaken.
Under the old system IL cost $40 Tor
a book on the Oregon Short Line. $40
| for a book on the Southern Pacific, SO
| for a book on the Union Pacific and $50
/ for a book on the Rio Grande. This
compelled them TO invest $3.50 II they
had to use all these roads which the
/ wholesalers do.
1.-THE scrip book costs but $50, and
/ does the work of four books In which
| the merchant formerly had to invest
| $3.50 Certainly they can travel just as
/ Cheaply as formerly and in the opinion
| Of most people who use them, II is the
( best book and most convenient form OF
/ interchangeable mileage that has been
! issued Under the former system they
/ had to pay $24 for excess baggage. With
/ the present system so cents is taken
/ out for the extra baggage. They are
/ not compelled to sign either the book
] or the scrip and a ticket under this
| system is good for fifteen days Before
/ they had 10 sign the mileage book and
! the mileage when it was pulled out We
/ have customers who buy fifteen and
/ twenty books at time. We have heard
no complaint from them
