The railroads IN Missouai, Kansas

states maximum passenger fare
of twos cents a mile has been es-
tablished by state authority, have
had. much difficulty with interstate
passengers who bought tickets to
points near the state line and re
bought to escape the interstate rate
on a part of their journey. The
