Mr. Caughnan said il wss his oain

81. CaughInaa did not possess all the
risdoul IL the House. Tue committee
raai.z d that the members vants d
separate coaches, and the committee
wsnt 10 cork to set the best possible
Dill, and tee substitute bill vas the re
suit. Tae substitute bill is largely
after She Gsorgi4 la", where it hiss
warsed veil. Ehere is nothing wrong
n getting goGd laws from Georgia
II says his IS law the railroads
7aut ard not the commission. Tue
railroad c1mpa les want 40 railroad
le. .;s!at:on at al they want 40 sepsrate
coaches al all. His friend seemed to
be airaid Of lawyers. He was law
y-r, and was proud OF it He defended
El2lSelf and the committee. He did
rot care What the commission wanted,
hut @as acting for the people.
Mr. Caughnan said he lever said
The commission cid not want this Oil.
MIR. Pollock said the railroad com
mission did recommend The passage
of the substitute bill Mr.. Caupnman s
bill does not touch on separate coaches
ior second class travel. That would
necess;tate a car for first. class whites
and a second c!ass coach. The com.
rnittee Substitute makes one class. The
first class rate is decreased to 8 cents
IRON 8 ( rates. and the second clas:
Increased from 234 10 8 cents. He
understood about 80 per cent o. the
srsvel was second class. The objec
lion to c0ops is equally an objection
10 Mr.. Caughmau's bill. These
''coops," under the substitute bill can
bs put in only by or0er OF the rail
road commission, but under Mr Caugh
mans bill the railroads can divide uF
q coaca The railroad committee va:
unanimous in favoring the substitute
bill.
Mr.. Caughman said he was accused
Of b-ins mad, and he wanted to say
he had not been mad in ten years
When ne was advocating any measure

Mr. Pollock said ne told him The
railroads wsnled neither bill, and the
commission wanted the substitute
bill.
Mr. Csuehman said one member ot
the commission told him the substitute
bill took away the rig hts OF the com
mission. He never claimed honor or
credit. Hs was not seeking honor or
glory.

uTe deserved more serious thought
He had heard toat q Pullman car only
cost IS 000, and it was 70 hardship tc
re Glre separate coaches.
Mr. Cusbmsn asked if it wss not
hardship to require mixed trains &c
carry ssnarate coaches
Mr.. kinard didn't tbink so, as The
extra cost would not be large
Mr.. Maeill moved 10 table Caugh

the House refused TO table the Csugn

Mr. kinard moved to amend SC
that frst-class coaches shall be pro

separate the races ct as little expense
and lnconvanlence as possible Inc
