This year they are scarcer than last, and last year they were scarcer than the previous one.

judges and Passes.

The railroad pass question is more
vital to the interests of the public
than many realize. The Legislature
is not the only place where the in
siduous influence of the pass is felt.
Free transportation is not only handed
out to our lawmakers, but to the
judges who interpret the laws. AS
far as favors of this kind can bias the
judiciary, the decisions of our courts
of justice are colored by the possession
of them.
1t is not necessary or just to say
that the judiciary is corrupted by
railroad influence, or that all Mime.
sofa judges accept these favors. 1t is
true, however, that they are rendered
and that the five supreme court jus.
tees and thirty-five district judges Of
the state have either to accept or re.
fuse free transportation. Some hxye
been known not only to take passes
for themselves, but to ask them fol
members OF the family or for friends,
Most Of the district judges have con.
siderable travelling to do in the per.
torrance OF their duty, and the passes

To the judiciary the people Of the
state must look for q fair determine.
ton of law and equity, not only in
controversies between the state and
the railroad companies, but in the
thousands of cases where railroads
are aligned ON one side, and individual
citizens on the other. Often the
scales tip evenly and it is hard for
the just judge to decide.
Is it fair, or consistent with good
government, that judge should de.
eide railroad case with a railroad
pass in his pocket? Is it good public
policy to have street railway cases
decided by judges who carry coupon
books? Is it right that telegraph or
telephone frank should be thrown in
the scales Of justice to help decide q
case where the corporation is in.
terested?
Judges are not entirely to blame for
accepting these favors. The public
conscience has never been aroused on
the subject, and the common standard
Of morality has overlooked such mat
tiers. 1t is all right because "they
all do it," and the holder OF the pass
persuades himself that it is only a
courtesy, carrying no obligation. He
does not ask himself whether the
giver does not expect something in
return for the courtesy.
