A Railway Pass Granting Free Transporta>
ton a Form Of Railroad Rate
Discrimination,

A railway pass granting to the
holder thereof tree transportation is
a form Of discrimination. 1t Is a dis.
elimination In favor of the individual
travelling on a pass and against All
other passengers who pay fares. AS
far al the principle Is concerned, q
railroad company Is M more justified
III transporting an individual free of
Charge from n city to another than
it is in carrying a ton Of coal. or q
carload Of machinery, free of charge.
But there are exceptions, or course.
as in the case of railway officials and
certain groups Of employees. +.
With these statements as q prem

against rebates and determinations
Of all kinds. 1t follows. to be consist
ent, that the distribution or 5rasses
by railway companies should be pro-
hibited II all patrons of the railroads
are to have measured out to them
"a square deal" But the i%nconsist.
ency Of the general pubic IS at once
apparent when such a policy Is an.
nounced by a railroad company, as
was the case the past several weeks
following the definite oilciai state
ments that the Pennsylvania and It's
affiliated lines, the New York. Central,
and other Trunk Line railroads,
would abolish the issuing OF passes
after January 1, 1906. OF course all
passengers who do not receive or ex-
pect to receive a railway pass de-
nounce the pass evil. A few OF those
who do travel on passes recognize the
evils of the system and favor re-
medal measures. But the great ma
jority Of those who Use passes r SO
controlled by se%lf-interest that they
do not recognize that at bottom the
influences at work securing favors for
them in the form Of passes are IN
others denounced and decried as
graft"
The growing evil OF the free pass
policy is evident to the close OBJ
server Of social conditions. From
officials Unidentified with a railroad
company, who should properly re-
ceive free transportation, the use OF
passes has i4sensiblya spread through
