What the Railroad Commission Can
not Do.
EDITOR DAWSON JOURNAL:

EDITOR DAWSON JOURNAL:
All that has been written in
the papers, and all the arguments
used in the General Assembly pro
and con on the railroad commits
sion law, has been written and said
taking into consideration the
effect that the law has upon the
State at large. And thus it be-
comes newspaper men who shape
and mold the minds of the peo-
pie, and Legislators who make laws
to control and govern them to act.
But there IS a class Of people that
are controlled entirely by merce-
nary motives that this argument
does not reach, and upon these
grounds they oppose the modify
ing of the railroad commission
law IN any way, claiming that the
law better promotes the interest
OF their town just as it now stands.
To such | want to call attention to
some facts in regard to the effects
of the commission on our own
town.
For three years, including 1876
and 1878, our place was
grievously disseminated against
in freight in favor Of Albany, but
for the season Of 1879 the railroads
agreed and put freights up to
about the same as to and from
Dawson. Since that time we have
had but little trouble. Now it is
claimed by some of our people
that the commission caused this
"change and give the commission
ers credit for it when, in fact, it
should go to'the railroads. AS ev-
idence of this fact, the railroads
possess the same power and right
to make their own rates on all
goods coming from or going be-
yond the boundaries of the State
as they had before the commission
law was enacted.
In the decision of the railrcal
commission as to the overcharge
at Savannah brought by Hit &
Co., they made use ofthis language;
"Now,in the case before us, if the
freight delivered to the railroad
company at Americas was ship
ped to go beyond the boundary of
the State, and did go beyond the
boundary of the State, in accord
ance with the agreement for ship
ment, then it seems clear to us
that this commission had no juris-
diction, whatever, in the case made
by the application. Whatever
right the applications may have
Ill the premises, it is quite appa-
rent to US that the commissioners
possess no legal power to pass up
on such right. We simply deter
mine that we have no power in
the premises"
We refer you to the eleventh
semi-annual report of the railroad
commission, page 10, also the fifth
section of the act creating the
board.
You see in this decision the
commissioners decide that thew
have no control over freights COM
ing from and going beyond the
boundaries Of the State. Then,
this being true, and no one will
deny it, I ask how much of the
cotton shipped from Dawson, OF
Americus, or Albany, that is not
shipped beyond the boundaries of
the State?
The greater portion Of merchan-
disc sold in our State comes from
beyond it's boundaries, the freight
of which the commissioners have
nothing to do. What prevents
the railroads from carrying cotton
from Albany to New York, or Fall
River, for ten cents per hundred
less than from Dawson or Amer
