lions Wednesday afternoon, was as fol-
lows:
whereas. We believe the free rail-
road pass to be q source of political
corruption, placing in the hands of
few power to be used selfshly in the
interests of railroads and against the
public welfare;
therefore, We favor the prohibition
of all free transportation to other than
actual employees, and we favor reduc-
ton of passenger rates in behalf of the
public generally, equal in amount to
the value of free transportation given
the few as a special favor"
