FOR TWo-CENT FARE.
Rapid Spread of Movement Since
Enacting Ohio Law.

Agitation for a 2-cent railroad fare has
spread rapidly over the states since the
passage of the Ohio law and the voluntary
reduction made by President Mellen of the
New Haven road Railroad officials of the
east and west. according to advices re-
ceived from various cities admit that the
2-cent fare is bound sooner or later to be
come universal. and they are only hoping
the day of its general adoption will be de-
layed long as possible.
The abolition of passes and the belief
that cents is enough for most of the rail-
roads east of the Mississippi TO charge are
the two strongest influences in the prOpa-
cation of the movement. Many railroad
officials themselves believe they must offer
the lower fare in order to meet the compe-
tition that is developing from the spread
OF interurban electric lines all over the
country The action Of the railroads on
the mleage-book question is another thing
that is operating to increase the demand
for 2-cent fare.
In New York fully a dozen bills have
been introduced into the Legislature look
ing 10 the enforcement of a 2-cent fare
one bill provides for a Lucent fare. IN
Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Is
land the legislatures probably will take no
action on account of the action of Presi-
dent Mel!en.
Gov Handy of Indiana is determined
that the next legislature. whether it be
regular or special session, shall enact
2-cent fare bill into law. Candidates
throughout the state for representative and
senator are being pledged on the question in
advance.
The state of Iowa is also moving toward
2-cent fare action. There is also a BIZ in
that state asking for the abolition of passes
to candidates for office delegates to con-
ventions and to members Of political COM
mittees.
The temper of Wisconsin is for reduc-
ton. Had the governors call permitted it
a 2-cent fare bill would have been rushed
through the Pennsylvania legislature this
session. Such measure will be introduced
at the next session.
In Virginia a bill has been introduced re-
quiring 2-cent fares. and it is believed IL
will become a law. The fight is also on in
Maryland In Illinois the railroad commits
sion recently reported in favor of reduc
ton. but action was postponed pending
further investigation.
Agitation in Nebraska has become SO
strong that the question is almost certain to
be an issue in the next state campaign.
