General William Booth, founder

General William Booth, founder
and head of the Salvation Army,
who has recently been character
lied as the worlds greatest philan-
thropist, has set his face firmly
agslnst old age pensions. Such
pensions, he declares, are only
another scheme for idleness. he
holds that age is not necessarily a
bar to usefulness, and that it ia
the duty of everybody to keep on
working as long as life and
strength last.

To the Editor of The Telegraph: I
propose to give to your readers few
short sketches touching the new Rail-
road Commission law passed by the las
session of the Legislature.
l notice that the Governor praises
this statute very highly in his public
utterances recently-in fact, believes
that great good will result from the
passage Of the law.
1t deserves careful examination &c
ascertain just what has been done by
it, and how much good the people OF
Georgia may expect from the law.
/. In the first place, it changed the
number Of the Commissioners from
three to i've and increased the cOmpep-
sAtion Of the chairman from 1880 to
a, 900.
The title of the act provides that the
Governor is to appoint the chairman
but the legislature apparently changed
the policy and directed that the com.
mission itself should select its own
chairman. It is . queer variance.
What may result from the same will
require judicial determination.
The act undoubtedly varies from iti
title.
The commission is authorized to EN-
ploy one or more rate experts at q cos
OF a 900 per annum.
!ts contingent expense fund has beer
raised from $500 to % 600.
The printing fund which was hereto
fore only 81, 900, is fixed At $1,000 in th'
new act.
A stenographer also 10 authorized a
. cost OF 81 200, and an attorney, who's,
term of office is four years, receives
salary Of $500 per year.
The salary OF the secretary of tn,
commission is also raised from 81, 200 t,
" 900 per Annum.
The total increase of expenses, there
fore, is as follows:
