and saw the member of the recep.

eggs, forgot to tip the waiter and
made rush for the private car on

persons to whom free transportation
will be granted in this state hereafter
are such persons as are excepted in
the interstate act and only in such
cases where those persons did not
come within the prohibitions of the
state anti-pass law.
The new interstate commerce law
provides that mo common carrier sub.
ject to the provisions of this act shall,
after January 1, 1907, directly or in
directly, issue any interstate free tick
ct, free pass, or free transportation
for passengers except to employees
and their families and for certain
specified religious and charitable pur-
poses. 1t might be inferred from this
that the roads could and therefore
would continue to issue free passes
as Of yore until January 1. but the
roads and their attorneys take diff
fenertn view of the matter.
The railroads in taking this action
as regards passes within the state are
Influenced chiefly no doubt by the
fact that it is to their financial interest
to do so. While the issuance of free
transportation to the general public,
aside from that issued to public offic-
ials, has been limited, nevertheless it
has been the practice of many of the
roads to issue passes in liberal
amounts to influential shippers and
other persons with whom the road
has dealings.
