the best and the taxpayers should have

ready issued. After today the rail-
roads will refuse to acknowledge the
validity Of passes over any of their
lines.
The railroads have raised a great
many objections. to some of the pro-
visions of the new law and II all their
demands for changes in the law or at
least. temporary enforcement Of
certain provisions should be granted,
It would leave conditions practically
as they were before the rate law was
passed.
The only feature which the rail-
roads were prompt to accept was the
pass feature. AS the passes issued by
the railroad companies are usually
issued on January l, and are suppos-
ed to be valid until the end of the
year, 1t was believed that the law
against passes would not be enforced
until January l Of next year. But the
abolition of passes meant money into
the pockets of the railroads, and for
that reason, they could not see any
good reason to delay the enforcement
of that feature.
At the same time, some of tn .
western railroads pretend that they
are opposed to this. particular feature
giving as their reason that under the
new law 1t will be impossible 70:
them to isspe passes to land agents
and prospective land buyers in the
sparsely settled districts of the ives,
and the natural result would be great
delay in the settling of those districts
The enforcement of the new law
will undoubtedly lead to large nam
