Family Mileage Law Valid

The supretne oourt in a decisión handecl down bolds that the law passed by the legislatura of 1891, requiriug railroad oompanies in this state to sell 1,000 mile tickets, good for the purchaser and any member of his family for $20 each.is a good law.and a decree bas been entered enforcing it in the case of Henry C. Sinith against the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern railroad. The case was tried in the Lenawee cirouit, Judge Lane issuiDg an order requiring the company to sell the relator a ticket under the conditions imposed by the law, and from this order the railroad company appealed. The deoieion also provides that eaoh ticket shall be good for two years after date and the railroad oompany must redeem the portion unused at. the end of that time. The effect of this deoision is evidently not only to compel the Lake Shore & Minhigan Southern Railway Company to sell mileage tickets under the oonditions imposed by the legislatura of 1891, but it places the road witbin the power of the legislature in regard to taxation and other regulations, from which it has always been olaimed to be exempt by reason of its origina) charter.
