Advertising Is Nothing More
Than An Invitation, Saying,

The Greeley tribune., 1909-01-13
WILL THEY DO rr

One of the most practical sugges-
tions for reform was uttered BY Gov
ernor Shafroth in his inaugural ad-
dress Yesterday. 1t Was that the
railroads issue no passes within the
state to anybody but regular railway
employees, that there may be no Ques-
tion OF undue influence upon law
makers and other ofhcials.
So radical an utterance BY . state
official has not been made since the
days of good but impractical Cover
nor Waite, who insisted on paying
his fare. and refused to accept free
transportation for any Of his friends.
The pass evil 10 . great big curse
to this state and to other states
where 1T has not been abolished 1t
was supposed that the stringent in
ter-state commerce Law had knocked
out the railroad passes. hut the po-
liticai pass was not killed. only
crippled. The interstate commerce
law only prohibits free transporta-
ton through parts Of two or more
states; transportation Ii still issued
locally. good only within the state
where issued. and this the govern
ment is powerless to touch.
Once not 20 many years ago. there
was a country editor In . Colorado |
town who had q rare spasm Of vir-
tue, and he decided to 30 after the |
political pass evil, and put 1t out of
business. In his county at least. In
spite of the reform bug that had
found Judgement in his brain, he was
a cautious scribe. and he investigat-
ed pretty thoroughly first - to where
he would land after he had jVApsd.
He hasn't jumped yet. and he Prob
ably won't. He found that every
county official carried q pass on each
of the four roads that went through
his town. The judges and clerks OF
all the courts. the sheriff, county
clerk, treasurer. assessor, all the
county commissioners. senator, rep
resentatives, and even the county cor
oner. He figured out Just where the
railroad companies could and did
get value received for each piece of
pasteboard with the magic word
Pass" upon its face. Then he went
further, and he found that each of
these official holders of annual pass
es, could, upon request, obtain for
his friends trip passes. He learned
that dozens of friends of each once
lege presidents, ward politicians, in
fact everybody. man OF woman, who
was supposed to control vote. was
in the habit OF going to these once
holders and obtaining trip passes for
themselves and families. He also
found that in the twenty years that
the coroner had been in office, mo-
railroad passing through his county
had ever killed man except through
that mans own gross carelessness.
In fact. he found SO many cases and
places where It would have been
better for the county II the taxpayers

expenses and paid all the railroad
fare for every ofiicial and his family,
instead Of their riding on passes,
that he was heartsick. He also dis
covered that II he tackled the Job
he had mapped out for himself and
kept at 1t long enough. he would be
out of the Newspaper business and
into the poorhouse, for no matter
which way he turned he would have
to hit friend and customer of his
paper.
1t 10 not probable that Governor
Shafroth's suggestion will be taken
seriously by any legislator or other

The Peary expedition left American

candidate for judge of the supreme

In his speech accepting the repub-
lican committees nomination, Mr.. Nc
Clure said: THE statement that all

state are bipartisan is far from &C

Mr.. Mcclure attributed the quoted
statement to Mr.. Cookies campaign
committee
But the committee has made no such
statement, nor has Mr.. Cooke made
any such statement.
The statement made by the commit
! tee was this: "AlI the important ap-
pointive boards of this state are re-
CURED by law to be bipartisan
That is what the democratic COM
mittee said-and it is true. The laws
of Illinois require all important ap-

Every State Interested.

In commenting upon the outlook for
the income tax proposition, Mack Sui

thority, says among other things:
The income tax is now before the
people. To bring it about. the legiSla-
lures of threefourths of all the states
must ratify it, There are As states
The necessary number is "a; defeat in
II states would make the income tax
forever impossible. A good many of
the senators who discussed il so
thoughtfully during the recent session
believe that the interests represented
by Aldrich will control II states. They
have in mind, among others, such
states as New Hampshire, Connecticut,
Rhode Island (of course). New Jersey.
and probably West Virginia We have
more faith in the people. We don't
even believe that all the New England
states will reject the income tax In
any event. during the next two years,
the position of every candidate for
every state legislature should be
known. No citizen of any state ought
TO vote for any candidate without
knowing whether he stands for the in
come tax or against it,
AS the Illinois general assembly
meets this fall in special session, and
as it is practically assured that the in.
come tax will be made a special sub
ject for consideration. Illinois will win
considerable honor in going on record
without delay in favor of it,
The endorsement of the proposition
by this state should be so spontaneous
and earnest as to give impetus to the
movement throughout the whole coun
fry
