More than 100 persons attended the
mass meeting in the First Presbyterian
Church last night, under the auspices

and Endorsed the prohibition measures
now pending before Congress. The Sims
bill was the source OF much favorable
comment, and the members Of the Dis

favorable report on the measure.
Representative n. W. Hale. OF Ten

RAILROAD PASSES
SEEM STONE DEAD
Attempt to Revive Them

Quickly.

The railroad pass as an institution in
this country IS pretty plainly dead. Eff
fort to resusCitate it by degrees has
been vigorously discouraged by the Sen
ate Committee ON Interstate Commerce.
and for this session at least q IS Ger
tain thai issuance of transportation for
anything except good money will not be
legaliZed.
When the Hepburn bill passed two
years ago there was more trouble about
transportation than anything else in ia.
It seemed as If almost everybody in the
country must have a pull with the rail-
roads Tor free transportation, and was
determined 10 perpetuate il. In sheer
desperation Congress passed the bill to
prevent everybody getting passes. The
first thing assured about il was that
members Of Congress would be shut out
and after that was certain CONGRESS
didn't feel much sympathy for any
body else's claims
Senator Stone of Missouri introduced
early this session a bill 10 permit trans
p0rtatiOn 20 be issued to newspapers
in exchange for advertising The bill
got 10 the Interstate Commerce Com
usittee, but that was the end. Not a
voice was raised in its behalf Con-
gress didn't see why the editor should
ride while the Congressman walked.
and by unanimous vote the bill was
turned down.
