Why the Anti-Scalping Bill Should Not Pass. ‘Yo the Editor of The Evening Star: I notice in your issue of the 22d instant that a Mr. Compton of Chicago ts coming to our city to fight the ticket scalper, and that he has sent in an advance sheet in the shape of a letter of what he intends to ask Congress to do for his benefit or the people he represents (say 100,000), He don’t a word about the other 71,000,000 peo- They are not in it. He only wants scalper crushed for his benefit. In other words, he wants Congress to pass @ bill (which, by the way, I have just noticed Reason | has been declared unconstitutional in New York state) so his 100.000 can ride for 2 cents per mile and the other portion to pay & cents, and he is honest enough to ac- knowledge {t. That is one good thing in his favor, but what does he think the farm- mechanic, laborer and all other c'asses are going to'say about this? Probably he don't think they have any right in the matter at all. He seems to be like a preacher T had a conversation with once, who wanted the scalper crushed so that could get half rates. Well, you couldn't me the preacher, because he was think- ing only of himself, but I don’t think I ‘ould have put much confidence in that preacher if my soul was at stake. Neither do I think the public can put much confi- dence in Mr. Compton if he is only coming here for his people's sake. His argument seems to be for class legislation, and I don't think the people of this great and glorious country are ready for that yet. ‘As to forged and stolen tickets, that's all bosh, and is only a side play to hoodwink the people. You might as well say that this government had better stop making money because {it will be counterfeited. Why should the railroads have any better pro- tection than the merchant, farmer or any one else? Are they infant industries that this government must protect? You might as well pass a bill to close up every second- hand dealer, pawnshop and auction house in the country becawse @ome thief is going to steal a pair of pants or watch and take it there for sale. He (Compton) forgot to mention, however, that the parties who had forged the stolen tickets had been pun- ished for same and that the ticket scalper was instrumental in bringing it about. Per- haps he did not know it, or it wasn’t his business to mention it, If Mr. Compton has really the interest of the people at heart let him come and lobby for the whole people, and not for the; benefit of the few to the detriment of thelothers. J.T. L. WRIGHT. November 24, 1898,'" Readers of The Star wil] remember that during the last saute of Congress there Was waged a lengthy and extremely bitter fight between the railroad companies throughout the Union on’ the one side and the scalpers of the various cities and towns on the other. r The fact has, however, been lost sight of in many quarters that bill, known as “the national anti-scalping bill,” was passed by the House of Representatives previous to the close of the last session, by a vote of 142 ayes to 51 nays; /M did not reach the Senate in time for attiony that body. The pending bill pas heen drawn very carefully, and, it is'stated by those who have given it an examination, its provisions meet every objection urged by the scalpers as reasons why their business should not be interfered with by Congress. The merchants who are supporting the railroads in the effort to have the pending bill become a law during the next session of Congress say there are three urgent reasons for the course they have adopted in the matter. These are: “Because it is against public morals, public decency and common honesty, and contrary to the in- terstate commerce law; because certain railroads violate the interstate commerce law by making one rate over their coun- ters and another through the scalper, and because with the scalper out of the way railroads would have every reason for mak- ing and no reason for refusing low rates to all commercial centers ambitious to be- come the meeting places for large gather- ings of people, such as the Grand Army of the Republic, Young People’s Society of Christian Endeavor, Mardi Gras celebra- tions, country fairs, and all others which increase trade. —_.>__.
