passes. It IS thought that other
railroads will follow until in TIE
very near future legislators, public
officials and shippers will either
have to stay at home or go down
into their pockets the same as
common folks"
Many Of the railroad officials in
taking this step argue that where
no return favors come for passes
given it is a load on the company
and where return favors do come
they are generally abnormal or
illegal.
Popular opinion throughout the
land is decidedly in favor of the
order abolishing passes. Cover
nors and state legislatures have
wrestled with the pass question in
vain endeavors to right the wrong
while many men have refused to
use passes proffered 10 them by
reason of some influential position
which was held.
