Ian Declares Giving Of
Passes Is Liberal.

The investigation by Commissioner Har-
Ian Of the interstate commerce commits
sion into the practice of Colorado rail-
roads of giving free transportation has
brought sensational results. Criminal in
dictments Of large shippers and the Of
tending carriers have been returned.
Commissioner Harlan personally con-
Quoted an investigation. and, in his own
characterization OF the situation. he de
veloped violations of the law on an extra
ordinary scale Mr.. Harlan says in a
prelimary report handed down today that
"in one month over a single railroad 1000
trips were made on passes Continuing.
he says:
Passes Freely Given.
THE record shows that judges. state
officials, members Of the legislature,
county and municipal officers, including
mayors and aldermen, have very gener-
ally made use Of passes. Not only has
this been the case, but the record shows
that where passes were not volunteered
they were asked for by public officials.
Even judges have not hesitated to
pursue this course. Personal requests
by judges upon carriers for passes are
disclosed by the record. accompanied by
expressions of their sense of obligation
for such fayors granted to them both
before and after they went on the bench
"All classes Joined in the orgy of petty
graft, at once sacrificing rightful reve-
nues of the carriers, discriminating
against all small shippers and demoraiz-
ing all public officials. including the leg
islature and the bench"
Commissioner Harlan says that the Col
orado carriers have given assurance that
they will conform their future practices
to the rulings of the commission In pass
matters.
