THE FREE PASS BILL
Senate Judiciary Downs
Measure to Let Officers
Ride al Will.

The Senate judiciary Committee So;
Gown hard or the bill of Senator VIII
| liams requiring the railroads TO give
free passes 10 state officers.
It was contended by Senator Will
ilams and Senator Bragaw that the
passes were necessary TO permit the
officers TO travel the state, and that by
requiring the roads TO furnish them
the objection to free transportation
that it tended TO create an obligation
on the part Of the recipients would be
done away with.
Senator Wright introduced an
amendment that members Of the Gen
cral Assembly be included in the pro-
visions Of the bill, and then earnestly
opposed the entire measure.
Senator Gillian vigorously assailed
;,ssailed the bill as being unwise IN the
light CT existing legislation on the sub
iect OF free passes, stating that the
only way to rightly attain the desired
end would be to repeal former legis-
lation on the subject.
Senator Ioliicoife.. also opposed the
bill on the ground tn1t it was unjust

railroads. to Wnich it was replied by
the supporters CT the bin that the
railroads were king 40 objection.
SGNcfat members TOOK up MT. LollcDI-

that the roaus were colnplacCnt made
no difference.
II was suggested that the bin be
amended 50 as To read that the roads

passes but it was the sense of the
committee that the change would only
renew the objection that there would
then be the implied obligation, as weil
as putting The roads III the light Of
either furnishing passes to ali officers
or being partial.
Senator Sinclair favored the biz
contenGing that the railroads had
special privileges which would Justify
the state in the requirement. and that
State officers d:tl not pass on questions
affecting railroads.
To that point Senator Gillian re-
ferred to the two leases OF the North
