HOLD TO PASSES.
House Members Won't Give Up
Transportation.
Resolution Providing for This
is Voted Down.
HAVE A LIVELY TIME.
Representative SteckeI Threat
ems to Throw Passes in Gutter.
Members Tell HOWThey Are Used
to Influence Legislation.
HAVE "A LIVELY TIME.

Bert Steckel of Barton county stood
on the floor of the house this morning,
waved a big pocketbook full of rail-
road passes and said: Cox
Il have here a whole handful of
railroad passes. I didn't ask for one
of them. They are not worth a cent
to me. and I'd just as soon throw
them in the gutter. We ought to cut
out all this pass business
Other members spoke in the same
vein. It was a free for all confession
al. A score of members admitted that
they are using free transportation.
Some said they were ashamed of it.
Some declared with bravado that they
are not Influenced by passes.
w. B. Ham of Rocks made a strong
speech against the acceptance of rail-
road passes.
The debate arose over a resolution
by Brown of Sherman providing that
the people be allowed to vote on an
amendment to the constitution allowing
members of the legislature $500 per
session and they be prohibited from
accepting railroad passes.
A. @. Eusey of Sedgwick moved to
strike out all that part of the resolu-
ton prohibiting the. use of passes.
MI Er1ngle made a speech for the
bill in its original form. He said: THE
people VIII understand that this queS-
ton Of railway passes has been up be-
fore US. and that we have taken our
choice 1t is not right to submit a pro-
position of this kind to the people with
out the anti-pass provision, for they
have recently voted down this plan of
raising salaries"
s. S. Glasscock said: This bill does
not reach the root of the trouble. Mem
bers can get all the passes they want
for their friends. and this is not pro-
hfbited. You members can send over to
the railroad offices and get a hundred
passes for your friends. We should
either stop the whole thing or leave it
alone
w B. Ham, of Rocks, said: I'VE can
reach this distribution of passes by law,
but this prohibition of passes is put
in here to assure the people that we are
not going to ride on passes. Very few
of US received passes before we were
elected. If we were not good enough
TO receive passes before we were elected.
there must be some reason for giving
them to US after our election. The rail-
roads must expect something in return.
We would have more respect for our
selves if we would refuse to accept
these passes"
Mr.. Husey, of Sedgwick, inquired
whether Mr.. Ham used a pass.
