Threats of The Lessaas.

According to our dispatches, Mr.. Stahl-
man, in his address before the Joint COM
mittee appointed to receive a statement of
the claim of the lessees for compensation
for betterments on the Western and At
lantic railroad speaking for the claimants.
declared that the lessees would let the road
run down during the remainder of their
lease if the state did not satisfy their
claim. 1t is very doubtful If threats of this
sort will alarm the legislature, and it is
question if Mr.. S,ahlman did not hurt his
case by making them.
The legislature in refusing to recognize
the claim for betterments has acted upon
the conviction that the claim is neither a
legal nor equitable one. 1t is hardly prob
able that while it entertains this conviction
it will permit itself to be driven from the
position it has taken by the aggressive atti-
tude assumed by the lessees, or that it will
permit the claim to be collected by means
that will damage the road
II we are not mistaken, it was stated on
the floor of the House during the debate on
the lease bill. that the lessees did not have
possession of the road-that the road was
rented from the lessees by a company, of
which Senator Brown is president. That
being the case, it is difficult to see how the
lessees are going to let the road run down.
unless they have some arrangement with
those in possession of it by which they will
be permitted to do so. The probabilities
are. however, that they haven't any such
arrangement and it is quite safe to say that
Senator Brown, whatever mis- argument
may have been before the Joint committee
in behalf of the lessess, will not permit the
road to be run down while he is at the head
of it. he has too much regard for his rep
utation as a railroad manager to allow the
condition of the road to become such that
the lives of those patronizing it would be
endangered.

Adjournment Talk.

The understanding is that the legislature
viii adjourn Nov. Z, provided the lease bill
is finally disposed of by that time. The in
dications now are that that bill will not be
passed by that time, and that the session
will either last longer than Nov. Z, or that
the question Of leasing the road will be left
70 the next legislature to settle.
1t viii be a mistake for the legislature to
adjourn without providing for the leasing of
the road That matter has occupied very
large part Of its time, and has cost the state
great deal Of money. The next legisla-
ture would have TO go over pretty much
the same ground that this one has, and as
the time for the expiration Of tbs present
lease would be close at hand when it as
sembled, and there would consequently be
some necessity for hasty action, the chances
are that it would not pass as satisfactory a
lease bill as the present legislature is likely
to pass.
This session Of the legislature has
already been long one, but the people will
not complain greatly il it is continued a
while longer, provided the lease bill matter
Is SO settled as to meet with their approval.
IL IS probably true that they think that
that question might have been disposed of
before this, and it probably could have
been If all the members were as conscien-
tious In the discharge of their duties as
some have been. In every legislative body
however, there are members who need only
very slight excuse to neglect their public
duties. They do not seem to take into con-
sideration the fact that by their absence
they obstruct business and prevent those
WHO remain at their posts from doing as
much as they otherwise might However,
the evil Of absenteeism is no greater in the
legislature Of Georgia than in that OF any
other state.
1t Will not be surprising if the session
continues until the middle OF November.
The betterment question seems to be fairly
on now, and unless the legislature decides
to stand By the position it has already
taken on that matter. it may be the subject
Of long and somewhat bitter debate. The
action of the senate in very materially
changing the lease bill that it received from
the House will also cause delay. There are
other important measures pending, but they
can easily be acted upon before Nov. z. If
the session is prolonged bsyond that date it
will be because of the difficulty in reaching
an agreement on the lease bill and the bet
terment issue.
