Legislation and canItnl.


 Within recent years Alabama has attracted the attention of large capi- taliSts and vast sums of money have come to this State for investment. Ala bama's natural resources have been de- veloped chiefly by outside capital, and the broad. progressive spirit that for merly characteTiZed our legislation made this field very attractive year by year to the men of millions living in the North. Alabama is just entering upon an era of industrial development that promises to make the past years look poor In comparison. Capital is ready to pour into thlS State but if the habit of introducing mischievous measures in the Legislature--bills that balk and hamper legitimate enterprise is not restrained every community will be hurt.
 Most people agree that railroad com panies and other great corporations by the State. but only the most radi- cal asitator against the money DOW err is in favor of that drastic sort of legislation which cripples corporate capital and helps nobody.

Nd Forced pusIness Wanted !.

We see that MT Rushton. of Cten- shaw. introduced in the House last to publish their schedules in at least ane paper in each count, through which their roads run The b.ll was evidently introduced as a sop to the editors whose passes have been taken from them by the enactment of the onti-pass law. So rnr, as The Advocate is concerned, we hope that the Rushton bill will not be passed. The editors of the State neer no forced legislation for their benefit. Thanks to the prosperous condition Of the State, the newspaper proprietors are all doing well and are able to go where they please and pay their rail- road passage. They paid for their trans portaton before though the iSaI medium of ment has been annulled they will no! have to walk the cross ties, and they will be found as numerous at theh Press Associatio meetings as ever, and lust as jolly and happy.
 If the railroads care to publish theiT schedules or any other advertisements, let them do 1t of their own free will we do not want any law to force them to do so.

 The Montgomery Advertiser has maintained a wonderful silence on the ncwsnaper's right to sell it's space in exchange for mileage but has sudden ly displayed 4 most marked interest in the two and one-haf cent passenger rate bill.
 The Advertiser is certainly of the opinion that the Interstate Com meree Commission put a wrong con- struction upon the bill passed by Congress when it decreed that news papers and railroads could not ex- change their business at the regular rates charged by them to the public. It is also decidedly of the opinion that the proposed law in Alabama forbid ding such exchange is uncalled for and unconstitutional We saw no such slips and breaks in the anti-pass bill as are apparent in the two and a half cent oill and for that reason had but little to say about the former The other gave SO many indications of careless drawing and rapid Are movement through the Legislature that we felt constrained to say lit tie.

Plain Talk From An Arhent Comerite.

MODlle Item.
 Decatur Advertiser, Governor Conner explains why he is oposed to newspa- pers exchanging advertising space for railroad transportation.
 In all fairness, Governor Corners explanation is not pleasant reading Like most all explanations men make. 1t fails to explain and leaves behind it more bitter than sweet. In brief, the explanation is an accusation with an apology. Viewed from any point, Governor Conner puts himself on rec ord as opposing the issuing and ac- ceptance of railway passes or transpor- tatiOn by newspapers from the rail roads in exchange for advertising as a Il ron the newspapers Of the state to take stand "to clear the state of what is recognized to have debauch- ing influence"
 It is a peculiar position for the gov ernor of a state to take, that the newspapers of his own state are crea- tures susceptible of easy debauchment. It is not only peculiar, but offensive, and charge that should be unworthy of the man who made it. Governor Conner ought to know. if he does not know. that the majority of the newspa- pers or the state supported him in ms candidacy for governor, knowing well of anti railroad legislation. Yet, per haps, every editor who supported him carried a railroad pass in his pocket to be used whenever it pleased him to
