NOT A FAVORITR.

The present railroad commission, or
Savage's commission, as it is some
times called, was not a special favorite
in the ObiOn county democratic con-
VentiOn on last Monday. Most every
speaker who had anything to say about
railroads was not an advocate of the
Savage commission as at present or
ganized, and as straws show only which
way the wind blows, the indications, as
they come from all over the State,
certainly point to the fact that the
commission will be wiped out at the
next meeting of our general assembly.
The people do not favor it. The press
almost enmasse oppose it from Carter
TO Shelby. All the politicians nearly,
and political aspirants are sick and
tired of the Savage Troy
NeRs Banner.
This Is the kind of news that comes
TO us from all over the State. The
people want no more of Savage and
his commission. Obion county is bet
ter supplied with railroads than a great
majority of Tennessee counties, having
three trunk lines passing through it.
1t would seem, then, if a commission
is needed anywhere it would be in
Obion. But the people there don't
want it, and the same expression is
heard everywhere from those who have
given the matter a serious and sensible
consideration.

SCRATCH THE RAILROAD COMMISSION
........ ......I Frs. U ta

II you oppose the railroad commits
sion scheme, scratch the names of
Savage, Gordon and Turley, that APP
pear ON the Democratic ticket Their
defeat will indicate to the Legislature
that the people want no more non
sense OF this kind, and even their cleo
ton by decreased majority, win be a
strong hint in thai direction.
II the Republican candidates for
F.. commissioners are elected the Legis-
lature will repeal the law creating the
commissioned simply because they
are Republicans, but because such a
result will be an indication that the
repeal of the law is demanded.
The fight is not between Democrats
and Republicans, as to which party
will elect its candidates to Office, but
TO see If the people will endorse
the commission scheme, and express
their willingness that the State shall
continue to pension Messrs. Savage &
Co. at 5000 per annum.
Even If there was any party princi-
pie involved in this matter, we would
oppose the election of John III. Savage.
No person in the State could be more
objectionable for the Office of railroad
commissioner than he is. He has
long been noted for his hostile atti-
tude to railroads and he now constructs
the duties of his Office to be "to make
war on railroads till they are brought
to terms" The Office of railroad
commissioner is a judicial one in GER
tam aspects and it is meant that the
commissioner should mediate between
the roads and their patrons. In this
view OF the case it is easy TO see that
Savage is not fit for the position.
But party principles have nothing
TO do with this commission question
and cut no figure in the election of
commissioners. The dog law ques-
ton, or the no-fence question could
not be made party measures and all
effort to draw the party lines on the
railroad commission question is equal
ly as futile
Remember what we said at the out
set of this article. II you don't favor a
railroad commission, don't vote for
the Democratic candidates for commits
sioners. Their defeat will call for the
laws repeal in such unmistakable
tones that the Legislature will not fail

CITIZEN SAVAGE in his Indictment
Of the railroads gives some figures
showing the big salaries railroads pay
their attorneys, and then says:
These facts are shown that people
may see how unequal is the battle.
Three Commissioners at $1,000 per
annum each, with no Secretary, and
without dollar to publish anything,
or power to employ an engineer or an
accountant This is like sending out
boys with pop-guns to fight against an
army with rifle cannons.
From this it can be clearly seen that
John estimates his capacity to fight
the giant monopolies" by the pay he
gets for the work. If the State would
only give him $4,000 per annum,
a Secretary at about 5000 per an
mum and money to publish his wordy
documents, he would have no trouble
at all in walluping the roadsas "a school
master would a refractory pupil"
