Indiana Senator Proposes 2 Cent Railroad Fare Law
Senator Edgar Poe Kling of Peru representing Howard and Miami counties presented a concise 2-cent railroad fare bill in the senate. The measure, modeled on Ohio law, sets a flat 2-cent rate tied to distance, takes effect 30 days after passage, and aims to ensure fair treatment for travelers, arguing higher volumes offset lower fares. He notes Michigan experience and argues passenger over freight emphasis, urging universal adoption for just treatment by railroads.
