Gavernor’s Vet
On Mileage Bill
Atlanta, Aug. 20.—Gov. Brown
today vetoed the bill passed at
the recent session of the Legisla
» ture requiring the railroads to
pull mileage on their trains in
stead of requiring it to be ex
changed for tickets aboard trains.
The Governor says the meas
ure is in direct contravention of
the constitution of the United
States, which forbids the enact
"ment by any state of laws which
impair contracts. Thereis a dis
tinct contract in the mileage
book, the Governor says, between
the railroad and the purchaser of
Yit, In the next place the law re
quires that common carriers shall
afford equal rights and privileges
to all patrons, but this bill gives
the reduced mileage rate an ad
vantage over the purchaser of a
ticket. In the next place Gov.
Brown quotes a Supreme Court
decision to the effect that after
the state has fixed a maximum
y rate, it has no power or authority
to provide for discrimination in
favor of those who may be able
to purchase tickets at wholesale
rates. .
The Governor also thinks that
the railroads are entitled to their
regulations to protect themselves
‘in the matter of mileage.
He says in conclusion that he
regrets thus to disappoint a large
class of worthy citizens, the en
ergetic and capable traveling
men, but that we must realize
we cannot always have what we
want and must hold withinthe
r :quirements of' the law.
The traveling men will have
their petition pending before the
Railroad Commission, and it is
said they probably will continue
tQ press it.
