the attitude on the pass question taken by some
VINO We're delegates to the republican state CON
Ventlon but who refuse to uphold the anti-pass
prank OF the platform. One OF the delegates ia

the Loup Valley Queen, who takes occasion IN
MS paper to speak out boldly in defense Of the
Iree pass system. Mr.. Barnard in the Louu
valley Queen Of September 81, writes:
While we may not be deep enough to
see the evil of the pass, yet we will have to
be shown that the use of the pass is such
very bad SIM or such dreadful drawback

ness point OF view it appears to us that
law aDollshlng the use of the pass by the

the people OF the state inasmuch as an an

California by May t. ON pledge Of a

The fall of rain in Los Angeles dur

rates to Europe from the gulf ports
were very much higher. Roads east
of Chicago would have to raise their
rates in order to get means to build
more extensive terminals. #
Mr.. Hill said that while congress
was legislating for the safety of en-
ployes, it might provide greater safety
for the public. He attributed 90 per
cent of the accidents to non-observance
Of rules. He, told of a shipment of To-
comotives from Philadelphia to Yoko-

what another company charged for

Hill that in twenty years there had been
a reduction of rates from cents to
76-Ioo of cent per ton per mile. Chair
man Elkins asked what would happen
regarding rates in the next twenty years.
Give the roads fair treatment re-
piled Mr.. Hill. "and in twenty years |
think the rate would come down to half
a cent per ton per mile"
Mr.. Hill said the ability of railroads
to raise money for increasing their
equipment and for building additional
lines would be destroyed by taking away
from them the power to make rates. Hc
criticized the terminal charges enforced
below the Harlem River in New York
saying they were greater than the rate
from Buffalo to Harlem. He suggested
that the interstate commerce commission
might Investigate the terminal charges
