TIERS REQUESTING RETURN
OF TRANSPORTATION
All Pass-Holders That Are Members of
the Prohibited Classes Asked to
Give Up Car Fare-other Railroad
News.

The railroads of the state are evil
IDENTIFY trying their best to live up to
the provisions Of the anti-pass law en-
acted by the last session of the state
legislature. This law, goes into effect
July 4, and those residents of this city,
who previous. to this time have been so
fortunate as to hold passes over diff
ferent lines in Iowa are beginning to
believe that this pass business is in
earnest
For the railroads are not going to
be content to merely refuse to issue
any more passes to anyone coming I'M
der the provisions of the act. This
much the law enjoins upon them. How
ever the same law makes it an offense
and gives a penalty therefor, for the
requesting for or using of any free
pass, ticket or privilege at a less rate
than that granted the public by any
member of the prohibited classes and
the railroads, showing a commendable
interest in the matter, are going to do
all in their power to assist in the en-
forcement Of this law
Letters have been received from at
least two of the railroads entering this
city, and 1t is said that similar steps
are being taken by nearly all of the
railroads operating in the state, re-
questing all pass holders, if they be
long TO any of the classes mentioned in
the act referred to, to send in the
passes, which they now have.
The Letters.
The following is copy of one of the
letters received:
Dear Sir

session of the legislature taking effect
July 4, 1906, railway companies are

Delegates to any political conven'
ton, travelling to OF from such conven-
ton
Members or employees of any polit-
ical committee.
Candidates, for any city, county, dis
trict, state or federal office.
Jurors in state or federal courts.
Persons within the stated classes
are likewise forbidden under penalty
to request or use a free pass, ticket OF
other privilege granted at less rate
than is charged the public. The stat
utory prohibition does not apply how
ever to notaries public, persons hold
ing an Office, which pays no fees OF
salary, officers or members of any
state educational institution, officers OF
directors of the Iowa State Board Of
Agriculture members of the Iowa Ma
tional Guard or of any city fire depart
ment.
If you come within the foregoing
prohibited classes, please return to this
