Representative Fleming Of Richmond
county is leading the opposition TO the
Twitty bill. now pending in the Senate, and
If be fails to convince the supporters Of the
bill that they are making mistake il Will
be because they are not open 10 argument
There IS no doubt that the passage OF the
bill would be followed by the withdrawal Of
much % the money now loaned in Georgia.
and particularly the money Loaned 10 farm
ers on mortgages. DIR. Twitty seems TO be
/ lieve that his bin would be beneficial 10
farmers, aud would, at the same time,
/ greatly reduce the fees OF lawyers.
There is no doubt that he is honest
IN his belief. and yet it is difficult
TO see how be can entertain that belief.
The bill, as has been stated frequently,
makes void all obligations to pay attorneys
fees in contracts. except where the debtor
files plea and fails to sustain it, II the
bill should become law the lawyess would
get their fees, because. the creditor would
have to pay them II the debtor did not, but
the farmers would not get money upon Us
good terms as they do at present. These
who pay their debts, therefore, and they
comprise about four ifths Of the people,
would have 20 bear an extra burden if
debtors were released from all liability for
their failures and short comlnRs.
And not only would the Twitty bill be
hurtfuI to the farmers by preventing them
from getting money at as reasonable rate
Of interest as they do now, but all business
enterprises throughout the state would be
checked. In letter which has just been
written by Mr.. Fleming he points out that
the bill would not only hurt the farmers,
but would interfere inJuriousiy with all
kinds of business and business enterprises.
He says: The bill would give an immediate
backset TO every new enterprise in the state
that expects to bond its property to get
additional funds to carry on its work. How
can IA railroad, manufacturing, mining or
any other company float its bonds at their
proper value when the mortgage on which
the bonds rest cannot provide for the neces-
sary expense Of collection in case OF defaults
Surely no sound fnsncier can indorse such
legislation"
There can be 10 doubt that Mr. Jennings
position is the right one. 1t may be that in
some cases the fees OF lawyers are larger
than they ought to be, and that greedy and
interruptions men take advantage Of the
10 per cent attorney fee clause to Cypress
unfortunate debtors. Assuming that such
is the case, could not the evil at which the
Twitty bill aims be remedied by the amend
msnt to the bin which Mr. Fleming offered
The substance of that amendment is that
while tardy debtors shall pay the expense
which their Hardness makes necessary, the
Expense shall not exceed reasonable
amount, and that the amount shall be de-
termined by judge or jury.
The kind of legislation which Mr.. Twitty
proposes is altogether too radical. It is a
remedy that would work greater evil
than the evil which he aims TO cure.
