The Pass Bill
A bill has been passed by both the
Rouse and Senate allowing the Street
Car Companies to furnish passes to
tiremen and policemen in full uni
form, and it is now up to the Cove
nor. Strong opposition has developed.
There are grave doubts as the con-
stitutionality Of the measure and
many regard it as an opening wedge
to break the stringent anti-pass law
now in force in this state. Consider.
able pressure will be brought to bear
upon the Governor to veto the same.
There is no question but that the
payment of car fare makes a serious
inroad on the pay of policemen and
firemen that these men should not be
called upon to bear, and it seems that
some way ought to he devised to re
lieve them from this burden. There
ought to be some plan conceived by
which this could be done without en-
dangering the anti-pass law. 1t
would seem that the plan adopted in
Germany would be the best In that

The Regular Thing

st Paul.-It has become the regular
thing in this legislature to turn down
committee reports in both the House
and the Senate.
In nine times out Of ten when !.
committee makes a report, especially
IL it is an adverse one, the author of
measure moves that the bill be print
ed and placed on General Orders and
the motion invariably prevails. This
is done out of courtesy to the author
OF the measure, but it is a reprehell-
sible practice. The time to settle
most measures is on the report of the
committee, to end it there. The other
method piles up an endless amount
OF unnecessary work and entails ali
enormous expense of printing bills
that are of little or no interest and
that are doomed to defeat, and the
expenses of this legislature are 60
ing to be no bagatelle as will be dis.
