The Georgia Legislature.

We had great battle for Reform i'll Geor-
gia last year, and the people won a glorious
victory,
In June, the new Governor Hon. Hoke
Smith will be inaugurated and the new Legis-
lature begin It's session.
That Governor Hokc Smith will exert ev-
cry energy he possesses to redeem the cam
paign pledges of Candidate Hoke Smith, there
isn't the shadow of doubt. He is in dead
earnest, and means to do things.
But he can not do a great deal, unless he is
supported by the Legislature.
TO this support he is entitled for the reason
that the members of that body could not have
been elected had they not been understood to
be committed to the Georgia Democratic
Platform adopted at Macon.
After the publication of that Platform, ev-
cry nominee who remained in the and
was voted into the Legislature is conclusively
presumed to have ratified the action of the
Macon Convention.
Therefore, the next Legislature Of Georgia
stands pledged in honor to support Governor
Holle Smith in his efforts "to make good
1t is but fair to assume that the individual
members of the next Legislature are honora-
bic men and will faithfully discharge then
duty to the people.
Assuming this to be SO, GREAT things are
going to be done--thn@s which will injurc
no legitimate business or profit but which
will bring manifold blessings of the most prac-
ticable kind, to the people at large.
(D We want a tWo-cent passenger rate;
and if the Commission has not i'll the mean
time given it to us, the Legislature should.
(2) We want decent accommodations for
passengers at Way-statons. We want waiting
rooms lit up at night, and heated when the
weather is cold. We want toilets for men
and women, blacks and whtes-always nee
cssary, and more SO now than ever in this
era Of delayed trains.
CD The delaying of local train out OF
Atlanta Augusta, Savannah, etc, for three,
four five and six hours in order that through
train shall make connection should be prohb-
tied. 1t is not fair that every traveller in
Georgia should be nconvcnicnced and injured
to serve the convenience of a comparative
handful of through passengers.
(D The Attorney General capable, hon
est and fearless oficial-should be authorized
and directed to institute legal proceedings to
break up the fraudulent, law-dodging devices
Weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-02-28

by which Our Constitution has been trampled
under foot by the two Wall Street robber-
combnes-the Southern Railway and the Lou
isvile and Nashville Railroad.
1t can be done.
The Lease of the Georgia Railroad to the
Coast Line and the L. & N. can be annuled
The sham arrangement between the Central
and the Southern can be smashed.
Let us restore that competition between the
various lines which our Constitution declared
should never be killed.
But it has been killed. Let the Legislature
sound the trump of resurrection by directing
Attorney General Hart as aforesaid.
Not only can he break up the existing law
dodging combination which throttles competi-
ton but he can forfeit the charter both of the
Central and the Georgia Railroads for mis-
use of the franchise
60 We should compel our state lines to
adopt the automatic block system and to abol
ish the grade-crossing.
(6) It should be made a misdemeanor for
train or any part thereof to back or the track
in any town, village or city without hagman
son who might be hit by the cars backing.
(7) No additional issue of stock and bonds
should be valid without the consent, previously
obtained, Of the Railway Commission and the
Governor
(8) The Railway Commission should be
given power to compel the Railroads to spend
a sufficient amount of their earnings upon the
property itself to keep it in first-class condi-
ton.
(O) 1t should be made felony for any rail
road to refuse cars to independent shippers
when they are supplying cars, in the same ter
ritory, to a Trust The manner in which the
Central Railroad, acting in the interest of the
Cotton Seed Oil Trust, refused to supply cars
in Augusta to the independent buyers, the
Daniels Bros, is a case in point. The facts in
that case are of record. more high-handed
outrage was never committed by Corpora
ton-not even by the Standard Oil Company.
The Charter of the Central can be forfeited
because of that Misuse of the Franchise.
(Io) We should have power vested in the
Governor and the two houses to clear the
capitol building of the swarms of Lobbyists
that gather therein to poster and mislead, de
ceive or debauch the members of the Legisla-
ture.
The Lobbyist should be excluded. His pr
pose always is to defeat the will of the people.
His employer is always some corporation tha-
wants to kill good legislation or to secure
some favor which it ought not to have.

The States Can Defy Wall Street

1t has been the constant practice of the
railway corporations to make light of the pow
er of the states Every time the state has tried
to shield its citizens from railway mistreat-
ment, the corporation has invoked the princi-
pie of Interstate Commerce and demanded the
protection of the Federal Courts.
But did it never occur to them that in the
long run the deadly animosity they were thus
arousng in the states would some day have
its inning?
Did it never occur to them that every Char
ter they held was granted by the state and
could be annulled by the state?
Did it never occur to them that the noto-
riously systematic way in which they were
Misusing their Franchises gave the state the
absolute legal right to forfeit the charter?
1t would seem not.
SO contemptuous of state rights have been
modern railway methods that this danger
point appears to have been overlooked en-
tirely.
In fact the separate states have the Wall
Street combinations at their mercy, if the peo-
pie will elect Governors and legislators who
can be trusted to do their duty.
There isn't state in this Union that can
not put Wall Street out Of control of it's rail
roads if the people determine to have it done.
No Wall Street combine resist the unit
ed people of any state. What the people need
is to rouse themselvs to action
We can break the Wall Street despotism if
we try.
How could any of the Railroads that gave
huge monopoly defend itself when arraigned
for Misuse of Franchises?
What plea could it make?
Even at Common Law, such a fragrant
breach of duty on the part of the Common
Carrier would have worked a forfeiture of
Charter.
Under our Statute law, there can be no
doubt whatsoever that determinations sySte-
matically granted favored person to the ruin
of the person Disseminated against, is precise
ly that Misuse of Franchise which the law for
bids.
Where is the Railroad whose charter cannot
be forfeited for Misuser of Franchise?
In one way or another all of them have mis-
used their powers.
1T IS IN THE POWER OF THE
STATES TO FORFEIT THESE CHAR
TIERS AND TO TAKE POSSESSION OF
THE ROADS.
Just compensation must be paid for all the
railroads property, excepting the Franchise.
That HAVING been forfeited NV ,uilf,,l and

An Indiana Decision,

From The Buffalo Express.
The Indiana Supreme Court has re-
vcrsed the verdict CT a lower court which
had found for a plaintiff who sued a
railroad company for the value of prop
erty destroyed by a fire which he insisted
the crew OF a freight train should have
extinguished. The higher court holds
that IL is more important to keep trains
running. and so prevent schedules from
being disarranged, TO the inconvenience
and danger of passengers, than 10 stop a
train 20 put out IRE which threatens
property near Persons who have been
DELAYED three or four times on their
travels by necessary but unexpected stops

hands must not neglect their own work

The old story In Ohio.

From the Dallas News.
Some OF the newspapers appear to be
excited because there is a row in the Re
publican party in Ohio. There has never
been a time when such row did not
exist The Sherman and Foraker crowd
were divided. Chase, even. was on one
side of a light. Mckinley, Butterworth,
Halstead, and the rest were always fight
ing each other. In the days Of Thurman
Pendleton, Mclean and other Democrats,
their party was distinguished for the bit
terness among the members. Ohio is a
battle ground at all times. So, the fight
now being waged between the Taft and
Foraker crowds is not the least surpris-
ing, but wholly natural in Ohio

MUNICIPAL IMPROVEMENTS.
Volume of Improvement Bonds De-
notes Great Progress.

From the Wan Street Journal.
One Of the significant indications as 20
the business situation is seen in the large
number Of towns. counties, and other
municipal units Ia various parts OF the
country which are issuing sewer bonds,
bridge bonds, school bonds, street i'm
provement and other varieties Of bonded
Indebtedness.
With the growth Of private wealth and
the general expansion in business there
has come an increase in taxable property
through which the public revenues have
been enlarged and new resources develop
ed for public Improvements. Not only are
large towns extending their municipal
works in new districts where population
has required ii, but many small towns are
inaugurating public service facilities for
the first time Suu others are in the
market for money TO provide in one form
or another for improvements which ar
increased income amply justifes.
These are proofs Of improved conditions
Of comfort, Il Is not as il they were IN
dertaking constructive projects on the old
basis. There is no straining of credit and
no lavish outlay, but a necessary response
TO the needs Of the communities in which
the improvements are made From this
source some Of the most active demands
have been coming for the past few years
for electrical, mechanical, and other fin
ished products, together with large guam
titles Of building material. sewer pipe and
other requisites OF municipal progress.
The present indication is that the current
year will not fall behind that OF its pred
eeessor IN this respect.

From Norfolk ViFgiuian-Pilot.
There Is a. rather interesting report in
circulation that Mr.. Bryan is not enam-
ored of another nomination and would
much prefer TO name for the Democratic
leadership some one in full accord With
his policies than 10 take It himself. This
is disquieting. If true, for the objections
urged in some quarters to Mr.. Bryan do
not attach 10 him personally but to some
of the issues he deems paramount. In
fact, II Mr.. Bryan is to write the plat
form, we do not believe there Is a Demo-
crat in the entire country who would not
prefer him as the nominee to any other
person.

Trouble in Ohio

Ohio, usually the most peaceful Of
States, has come Of late to be the most
terribly agitated of the entire forty-five.
Between the Forakers and the Tafts. the
body polite is rent in twain. and peace
has fed across the river into Kentucky.

Looking Backward.

Mr.. Watterson has returned from the
Old World with political platform which
he thinks broad enough for all the fac
tons Of his party to stand on-the Consti-
tuition of the United States. Back 20 the
Constitution" is the rallying cry he
offers 10 the distracted hosts Of the
Democracy. a cry recalling 10 the en-
ehanted colonel the music which filed
the soul of the fathers
Back to what ContitUtion? The Consu~
tution of to-day is not that of twenty
years ago, nor of nifty or a hundred. It
is, as Mr.. Watterson truly observes, q
vital and an applicable instrument By
means of constructive Interpretation, il
has been made 10 serve all our national
purposes, as a barrier to dangerous limo
walton and as guide TO political progress.
To what precise stage Of constructive
Interpretation would Mr.. WatteTson have
the Democratic party bark back? How
much of the present-day view of the con-
stitutional powers of the national gov
eminent would he repudiate?
These questions, we think. sufficiently
indicate the difficulty Of setting up a
form of words as a party creed. The mo-
meHt this is done doubts arise as 10 the
meaning of the creed itself, and We are
exactly where we We're before. Just so

sututionw slogan. When We begin to in
