Representative Waltz Will Offer Statistics to Favor 2½ Cent Rata

Representative Waltz, of Evansville, who introduced the bill to repeal the 2-cetn fare law and permit the railroads to charge 2% cents a mile, said that he hopes to get a report on it within a few days. “I intend to present statistics showing that the railroads are entitled- to the relief they ask,” said Waltz. “I will have statistics covering every year since 1907. If I can’t show by them that the bill ought to be passed, why, I hope that it won’t be considered. The bill is being submitted strictly on its merits.’’
