Springing without previous notice, an
a tcndmcnt to the Bland 2-cent fare
bill, which hi effect provided that the rate should be 2 cents flat, without
regard to whether a ticket is purchas
ed or tare paid on the train, the Wavnfi conntv senator was in the
midst of a fight that lasted from 10:30 this morning to 3:15 this afternoon
and what is more interesting, Seuamr Kirk man won "hands down." The railroad committee a few days ago reported in favor of the island 2 cent bill, picking it out from anions the eight similar measures introduced in the senate. It had been generally regarded certain that the provision fixing a penalty of one-half cent a mile if cash fare was paid, would remain in the bill and few protests were heard among the members. The railroads had claimed that they wanted the extra half cent provision to throw a 'scare' at the patrons so that they would always buy tickets and thus relieve the conductor of a part of his lmrdens and give him most of his time for attending to the duties of running the train. This morning Senator Bland called tip his bill on second reading. Senator Kirkman whose seat is just irt front of Bland, sent -forward an amendment within a second's time. The umendment provided for the
striking out of the clause that declared that the rate oil trains should bis 2Vs cents a mite. That started the" oratory and 1 1 flowed wi thout i oterruption for one" hour and a half. Senator Kirkman in a vigorous speech declared that the people of the state wanted a flat two cent rate and that t'uey did not want a two cent rate with "trimmings." The senator from Wayne said there was no good reason for charging a man who bought a ticket two cents a mile but if he did
not buy a ticket, charging' him two
