The total value of all fan**products for

SAD, SO SAD /S THE STORY!
PASSES, ANNUAL AND TRIP,
CEASE WITH NEW YEAR
Tuesday many thousands of annual
passes will oxplre with the old year and
those held by editors and others of
the Fourth Kstatc and those not di
rectly connected rflth the railroad will
not be renewed. All of (his because of
the fact that the new Hepburn law
Into effect January 1, 1J#7,
Both the giver and receiver of a pass
from a railroad not Issued in Accord
ance with the regulations of the new
law are subject to line and Imprison
ment or both, maybe. In the discretion
of the court. For this reason the pss-
senger offices are not . so overworked
at this time of the year Issuing new
annual! for 1807.
The new bill Is said to be one of the
most Intricate that ever passed through
congress and became a law. Traffic
men of every system In the country
have been busily engaged ever since
Its adoption In endeavoring to .master
and digest Its requirements. ItPT is
suing of passes, however, needs no
construing by an expert, as It abso
lutely and directly prohibits the Issu
ing of passes for any purpose except to
railroad people.
Some officials believe that the law
can bo so construed that tho advertis
ing failure run In- side-stopped. Test
cases nro being formulated by Western
minis and may < ■ .in,- up btfnre the
Interstate commerce commission next
month. Tho outcome of these test
cases will bo watched with Interat by
nil tho railroads in the country, oml
until it I* definitely settled nn railroad
man will fall over himself ttying to
gtvo away a pass.
