Whereas, the city Of 8Iuskogee has

Ion Topeka So JournaL

From Topeka State Journal
What possible excuse can consist
emily be advanced for the support Of
the Policy alleged anti-pass bill, which
has been favOrably reported by a
majority Of the house railroad com
mittee2
This measure proposes to prohibit
delegates to political conventions from
receiving railroad passes, and also
anyone else who attends such conven-
tons.
So far, so good.
But If it is necessary to cut on
passes from delegates to conventions,
how much more important is it, gen
tlemen Of the house railroad commit
tee, to cut them on from delegates to
legislature other words, senators
and representatives
On second thought, there does seem
to be an excuse for this bill. The
framer and the majority OF the house
railroad committee are evidently
anxious to keep their passes. And
that is apparently the only excuse.
How can any man have the effront-
cry to say that passes shall be cut OF
from delegates to political conventions
but that members Of the legislature
should continue to enjoy them2 II
the pass has an undue influence on a
political convention, the people have
an opportunity to reject its work, but
they have no opportunity TO pass on
the work Of a legislature, and the rail-
road pass has just as baleful an in
huence on a legislature as it does on
a political convention.
How many members Of this legisla-
ture are willing to 60 back to their
constituents and confess that they
voted to keep railroad passes for
themselves but voted to prohibit 9TH
ers from riding on them to a state
cOnvention2 Are the farmers and
business men who go from your coun-
ty to the state convention, Mr.. Legis-
lator, any more liable to be bought
with a pass than you are2
There is a gOOd-sized minority Of
the railroad committee in favor Of
real anti-pass law. This minority is
headed by the committee chairman,
W. Y Morgan, and there are some
good men men among them. It is to be
hoped that the house viii take the
advice Of the minority.
