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.
