We WANT
3 CENT FARE
IN New Mexico

BY all means let us have cent
railway fare. Never mind those
railway attorneys at Santa Fe just
now who are to "show our Legis-
lators." If Texas and Nebraska
can have 2 cent fare surely we can
have 3 cent fare. And, this Terri
tory is populated sufficiently to
furnish travel at 3 cent. Most of
the roads have passed the baby
limit and are now full grown and
need no further nursing by the
travelling public. The ''free passes"
We're cut of, even the poor news
paper man can't exchange his space
(his stock in trade) for railway
mileage. So, if this wholesale cut
ting out railway passes" is to
benefit the railways let them divide
the benefit with the travelling pub
lie.
We need that 8 cent railway fare
i'll our business.
And the travelling public needs it
worse than we do.
Cheaper rates means more travel.
More travel means more business.
When postage was reduced the U.

There is no argument against the
bill, but there is one in favor of it
and it should pass.
