Hughes today vetoed the bill institut-
ing a fiat passenger rate of two cents

"Nor is the fixing of this rate predi-
Gated on reports or statistics officially
collated which would permit a fair
conclusion as to the justice OF it's
operation with reference to the rail-
roads within its purview."
The governor says also, in part:
'Iniustice ON the part of railroad
corporations toward the public does
not justify injustice on the part Of
the state toward the railroad corpora

points clearly to the necessity OF eff
fective state action but does not re-
quire or warrant arbitrary reDrisals.
In dealing with these questions democ-

to act upon elaboration and to deal
justly"
When the veto message had been
read in the assembly, Mr.. Baldwin, in
PRODUCER of the bill, moved that it be
passed Notwithstanding the objections
of the governor and that the motion
lie upon the table. This was carried.
