holders of Corporations.

hOlucFA OF CORPORATIONS.
Editor Morning News: want to thank
you cordially in behalf of all the Geor-
eia Central stockholders and all right
thinking people for your able editorials
in favor Of giving railroads in our state
a living chance. Under Presidents Guy
Ter and Wadley's administrations our
hundreds of stockholders were sure to
receive their dividends, get ride to sa-
vannah, do their shopping and have a
good time All is sadly changed. What
has wrought this sad change? 1 fancy
the first bad step was mace by the law
makers in undertaking to control the
roadside fix rates of freight on which
the roads could earn no profits This
led to lapse of dividends and lapse OF
dividends led to want and the sale of the
stock to meet the necessities of life nat
urally followed. Stock that pays nothing
is generally regarded as worth nothing,
and soon becomes the football for specu-
lators. II l remember correctly the COM
pany was put in the hands of a receiver
by person who pretended to hold forty
five shares of stock. There had been no
default on the bonds. Nothing was due
that stakeholder. Nothing was due him
until the dividend was declared. No de-
fault had been made. Was the road put
in the hands of a receiver for legal luxu-
ries? l am reliably informed it cost over
100000 to get the Central through the
receivers hands Mr.. Editor is there no
limit to these legalized robberies? Some
legal light or wit has described a cor
poration as having no body to kick nor
soul to damn but 1 beg to remind them
that stockholders have souls, bodies and
children to care for, and l have never
learned in the study of ethics that it is
less honest to rob crowd than single
Individual
Fair prices for everything is the legiti-
mate cost for everything. These unfair
rates to the roads at best impoverish one
part of the community for the benefit of
some other. The benefit generally goes
to the consumer, not the producer. Now
why not give the railroad stockholders a
rest? IL private business must be meddled
with, let the commissioners take the banks
in hand, put rates of interest down until
they burst the banks, and have neither
banks nor money in the community.
Now, Mr.. Editor permit me to invoke
your great influence with the people and
other newspapers to have laws so made
as to allow every industry fair chance
have laws so administered that when a
corporation unfortunately goes into the
hands of receiver it will not all be alb
sorbed by legal expenses. One of the wis
est things said during the last campaign
was by Mr.. Reed-"It is not more money.
but more capital the country needs"-cap-
ital that will employ labor and make
money. Money is abundant and cheap in
money centers but who wants to loan
money in states where a demagogue is in
troduced on the stump as the man who
put freights down" The condition of rail-
roads is reproach to the state.
