The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1915-09-16
A REFORM THAT HAS
COME TO STAY

The Times-Union is not satisfied
with the position of the Telegram on
the question of restoring the old
status between the railroads and the
newspapers in which advertising
was exchanged for transportation so
that the editors and their families
could ride free. BY way of argument
the T.-U. says that it would be bet
ter for the Telegram to leave out
some of it's syndicate stories and
other pot metal miscellany and in
sert the railroad time schedules as
advertisements paid for in free rides,
thus giving a service of practical
benefit to it's readers and informing
them at the same time. thereby,
that Lakeland was not without rail-
road facilities.
The argument is plausible but not
valid. There should lie no invidi-
Gus class distinction in the general
policies of our great transportation
companies, for if the editor can
swap his newspaper space for free
tickets, the merchant, the doctor, the
LAWYER, the farmer and all other
classes who have anything to ex-
change should have the same right
