: 1 » ■ AMERICAN SUGGESTIONS ABOLISH TWO-PARE SYSTEM (By Telegraph.) (Special to "Tht Evanlng Post.") DUNEDIN, This Day. "If we had not seen your beautiful South Island, we should have gone Home very much disappointed with New Zealand. When we get back to Auckland we shall ask why no encouragement Was there given to us to visit the South," Said Mr. H. A. Crossman, of BoßtOn, U.S.A., Who has finished a tour of Central Otago with his wife, and who is accompanied by four other citizens of the United States. "There is,one thing you could do without imperilling tho Exchequer," he said. "You COUld abolish the t\VO-fai-e system. It is quite out of date and Unreasonable to have one carriage at one fare and the next one at twice as much. It is not democratic. We won't have it in the Northern States of America.. Down South they still have Jim Crow cars for the negroes, but hot so with us. Northerners. You cannot change your gauges, but you can make your fares equal, and give the passengers nice clean Seats. Japan is ahead of yon by a long way in railjvay matters."
