That Is, Railroad Commission-
er West Would Not Give
- Colleagues Free Rides.
. "That Railroad Commlaalonar Oswald
Wast of thl state la opposed to lajla
latlon permitting railways to lve paaara
- to state railroad eommlaatoner la made
"t evident by an artlola printed In tha
', current uumber of tha Railway Ag Oa
tette, which aaya:
, : "Oswald West, a member of the rail
way commission of Oregon, has written
letter to tha railway commission of
' Tennessee, oppoaiitf lrgielntion to permit
railways to give passes to stata railway
commissioners. The Tennessea commla
vrlnn started tha movement to "have tha
Interstate commerce law amended ao ns
to permit atata commissioners to me
passes. In the course of his letter Mr.
' West says:
- "The legislature of tbia state makes
liberal appropriation to assist us 'In
tarrying out tha purposes of the rail
road commission act, and these appro
priations cover traveling expenses and
relieve us of the necessity of accepting
favors to which we think we are not
entitled.
" TV's regret that your state does not
see fit to appropriate money to pay your
traveling expenses, and we believe that
It would be far better to start a cam
paign for' traveling expenses than to
try to bring about an amendment bucp
as you suggest to the interstate com-
raerca Jaw. for if. you succeed u wm
only be an opening wedge and In a very
short time every public orncial, as in
ths good old days, will be flashing a
cardboard when -the conductor comes
along.' "
