IMMIGRATION AGENTS
PASSES ARE CUT OFF.

With the coming of the new year
the provision of the Hepburn Act cut.
ting off railroad passes went into eff
feet. The first excursion train under
the new regime arrived in Roswell
last night, and it had a depleted ap-
pearance, decidedly. Under the new
law no passes can be given to per-
sols not employees of the railroads,
and this rule excludes immigration
agents not employed by the roads,
as well as newspaper men, big ship
pers, politicians and public officers.
There was not an agent on the train
last night WHO had not paid his fare.
The new ruling undoubtedly will stop
many prospectors- and investors who
would come if accompanied by the
agents. The agents cannot afford to
come SO ofte2 and pay their fares

senators.
Every corporation should be re
required to furnish eacn stockholder

There should be a privilege tax on
corporations doing business il the
state.
The state should regulate the
charges of public service corpora
tions.
The people of each town should be
authorized to purchase and operate
their own public utilities.
He touches on a number of other
subjects, including child labor, the
