K.

The mecting was entirely informal, and no detinit action was taken. Mr. Ackermnn strougly used tho abrogation of, the free-pniss syatetn, ax the n+ ecriminate issuc of passes cot the runds Imimenso amounts of tnuney. All those present nyroed with Mr, Ackerman that the adoption of 2be Commissioners’ turlt! made It necessnry that the roads should curtail expenses ug much as posaidle, and that tho system, us now.in vogtty, wasnt only a burden, but a nuisance, Lut they could not seo bow auy Joint action in the ‘matter could well be taken, ‘To stop tho fre pass syatem altogether was gi impossitl Lois bad been demonstrated some six or Key Fours ugn, when the system was abollabed by wll wo Western roudy, though the waizreoment wis only nitintained by «few of them. Tho roads shut. were honest enough to stick to the agree= ment found themselves at a dlsa u duuse thelr competitors xecur Rrauting passes which atherwl vonoty thom. Tt waa admitted that tho great mulk of freo passes Were piven tu shippers and rebints, and hero was where a reform should wUrited, As the Ilinois rouds were co totuke business nt unprofitable rates t wag no reason for giving extra | eluppers by ranting them and 8 by’ would bayve ate alr. friends wll tha freo pussca they might nsk for. It wis finally ogreeul, however, that the indiseriminuta issue of treo pusses KUOUld be stopped afterdun, be given only to siteh parties ag the General Manners of the various roads think are fairly entitled to such privilege. There is one thing which those present at ine Inceting seem to have forxottan to take notice ot, and that is the jndlacriminate issue of pases Ju Senators, mombors of the dcalelnenty, sud ail tho tute olticials, There ts hurdly a member of tho Legishtture who docs not carry in hia povket: uo anoual pisaand who cunnot ect all-tha free pasecs be wants fur bis friends. ‘Tho sume holds oud with nearly all the State. olliciat. ‘fho Railroad and Warehouse Commissioners, it 4s claimed, travel on free posses. Now shere & where the rallronda should com- menco their = reform. = Bincu it 8 duo to those =o parties that the rnil- roids had tu conform with the law which they say compels them to curtail ther expenses, they should by all menuns compet ‘thos legistators and State olticials to pay their fure like other people. There ts 10 good ruason why the railrondé should punish tholr friends od roward their enemies. Mr. Huntington's Plaus, Mr. C. P.
