by vetoing the recently-passed
two-cent fare law, calls halt on
the mania for forcibly regulating
the railroads. He shows that the
law was passed hastily. without
investigation of facts in the case
and without understanding OF pre-
vailing conditions. While two
cent fare law may be all right in a
densely settled section, it would
mapifestly be unjust on line run
ming for many miles through
mountains aud deserts. The Gov
ernor takes the sensible position
that it is the duty of the State
Railroad Commission to look up
the prevailing conditions on all
the roads and report to the Legis-
lature. SO that body can act intel
ligently. What is needed are laws
to abolish unjust discrimination
between communities and individ-
uals, but we can't afford to run
amuck against the railroads and
indulge in retaliation or vengeance
