furnishing county, judicial, legis-
lative and executive officials with
unlimited free transportation is
still more reprehensible. In most
cases these officials collect mileage
for their official trips and the pub
lie pays their fare twice, first out
of the public treasury and secondly
in the added cost of their own
transportation. 1t is proper that
the fare and expenses of officials
should be paid when on official bus
mess, but when they travel for
pleasure or on their own private
business there is no more reason
why this should be done than that
they should be supplied with clean
shirts at public expense. Corpor-
ations seldom indulge in benevo-
lence. They do not part with a
valuable consideration without re-
ceiving one in return. A pass is a
valuable consideration. When one
is bestowed on an individual the
donors expect recompense, and

very large class upon whose faith
fulness and efficiency in their dan
derous callings depend not only the
prompt transaction of business, but
the safety of human life.
The tavoring of one business
man over another in the matter of
passenger rates is open to the same
objection as favoritism in freight
rates. 1t gives him an advantage
over his competitor, and in these
days of keen competition it is no
small item. 1t is tax enough on
the average business man to pay
his own fare. when he makes his
business trips without being assess
ed to help pay that of business
rival thus incidently furnishing
funds out of his own pocket for
another to compete with him. Such
a proceeding is so manifestly un-
just, and contrary to the spirit of
fairness that argument against the
practice is mere waste of words.

bills not only in the form of higher
fares but over and over again in
the way Of concessions granted.
A Judge has no more right to

A legislator has no more right to
legislate on matters in which the
rights of the people and those of
corporations are involved with his
pockets filled with free transporta-
ton furnished by the road than he
would with his pockets filled with
cash presented by them. 1t is as

it would be to make them presents

The public conscience is aroused
on this question. The republican
state convention made a specific
declaration upon the subject. Re-
publican legislators will do well to
take cognizance of it.
A stringent anti-pass law should
be passed this session and a way
devised so that the public may
know if the same is violated.
One of the first cases under the
new law is on at Walker. A home

PASSENGER DISCRIMINATION.


Last week we wrote short edi-
torial on the direful results to the
country of freight discrimination
that has been so extensively prac-
ticed in the past and to a more or
less extent at the present time.
This, however, is not the only form
of discrimination that railroad COR
porations have practiced. 1t has
always been their custom to fur
nish passes to favored ones and
carry them to and fro without
charge; while charging others an
amount to realize handsome profit
not only on their transportation,
but also on those carried free.
These deadheads are divided into
three classes:
Employees of the company.
Favored shippers who transport
large amounts of freight.
Public official.
No fair minded man objects to a
railroad company furnishing it's
employees and families with trans
portation. 1t is part of their
compensation. The very nature of
their occupation demands it, and
any legislation prohibiting such
action would work injustice to a

have seen an Indian chief clad in a
blanket and breech clout wearing
ten dollar silk hat; have beheld
tramps drinking costly champagne
out of old tomato cans; have heard
passengers on an ocean steamship

a storm and sailors swearing like

the most homogeneous sight we

that of an eminent divine holding

bad enough for candidates for the

These candidates act on the hypo-
thesis that the. Legislators do not
know enough to attend to their own

irretreviable blunder unless they
were directed and advised by the

this is true. Something might
happen if they were not guided,
directed and traded, but it does
seem to us that they could be
trusted to select a man to pray for
them without dragging the White

ANOTHER 10 PER
CENT PENALTY
TO Be ADDED
On All City Taxes Which Are Not
Paid Tax Collector Whiting
BY sFrid y.

Another penalty of 10 per. cent. will
be added to delinquent taxes on Fri
day. June Is, and unless taxpayers
VINO are in arrears with the city call
and settle before that date they viii
find that their taxes have increased to
a considerable extent.
Already thare is a penalty on delin-
quents of "a per cent, and this Will
continue, the 10 per cent to be added.
The collections so far have been
very satisfactory, Collector. Whiting re-
porting the collection of all but about
$4,000 out of an assessment of about
S150,0O0. This is an increase in the
assessment over the previous year Of
about $50, 900 and shows that the tax
payers of the city have been settling
up fairly well.
Collector Whiting expects that many
will settle before Friday when they
become acquainted with the fact that
the 10 per cent. penalty will be added
on that date ann the collections will
therefore be considerably increased.
