Statement by Graham.
! Senator John w Graham, OF Orange
is receiving large number of inquiries
from travelling men as to his attitude
Oh tho mileage book question, and for
answer he has prepared general
statement, which he Is mailing to all
who write him. He cites a decision
of the United States court. and in his
statement says that the Legislature
has the right TO fiN the maximum rate
to be charged by railroads. but does
not have the right TO mako an cXcep-
ton in favor of those who desire TO
buy mileage books at what might he
called wholesale. He says the recon-
mendations of Governor Kitcnin that
tho general rate be reduced to cents
per mile, unless the railroads will al
low mileage 10 be pulled on the trains,
is in conflict with the decision which
he cites.
