Protest Filed Against Free Railroad Fares
J E Sexton, Eureka Nevada Railway manager and stockholder, protests free or reduced travel for employees of California Railroad Commission. He cites constitutional limits on passes, argues such favors deprive stockholders of revenue, and demands barring Commission staff from free transport effective July 1 1915. He seeks action by Southern Pacific and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe to curb passes and addresses Court action if needed.
