and then passed. Had there been
time some sort of a measure to pre-
vent lobbying would have been en-
acted, even though it did not meet
! the demands of the Macon platform.
The other reform measures which
failed of passage also died because
the legislature did not have time
to thoroughly adjust the differences
existing in the two houses. These
measures were left in good shape
for passage at the next session Of
the legislature, however, and will,
come up as unfinished business
when the general assembly meets
again.
By far the most sensational fea-
ture of the last session was the de-
bate over the Gambler Overstreet
railroad commission bill in which
Senator Flynt practically charged
Governor Smith and other state
house officials with lobbying in the
interest of the bill. The issue be-
fore the senate was the house
amendment, increasing the commits
sion from three to five members.
Senator Flynt declared that had a
railroad corporation done what had
been done in the interest Of the
railroad commission bill there
would have been a public scandal
which would have shocked the
state. He claimed that members
of the senate were being sent for by
the governor and that powerful
pressure was being brought to bear
to influence the senators to vote for
the amendment.
The charge brought many SEN
ators to their feet in defense Of the
administration. Senator Elder de-
clared: eff | were governor Of
Georgia and had promised the PEG
pie of the state certain reforms, |
would use every means in my pow
or tn sncure the enactment into law
the reforms promised. Other sen
ators, also, defended the admins

had been previously lost by 20 to

will find it very difficult.
The railroad commission bill is
the most sweeping measure of it's
kind ever passed by state legisla-
ture, and places within the power
of the commission to make the rail
roads deal fairly with the public
in freight and passenger rates, in
the prompt handling of freight and
in all other matters. The bill eX-
tends the powers of the commission
over public docks, Wharves, ter
minal companies, sleeping and pal
ace cars, telegraph and telephone
companies, street and electric and
gas plants. The bill gives the COM
mission power to prescribe and fix
penalties for failure and refusal to
obey any order or rule or resolution
of the commission. The bill auth
orizes the employment of a lawyer
by the commission who shall act
in the capacity of solicitor. The
commission has absolute right to
fix inter state rate schedules, and
in the event the orders of the COM
mission are violated the governor
is authorized to institute criminal
proceedings. While the right of
appeal is not denied the railroads,
in the event of appeal, the orders
of the commission must be obeyed
pending the decision. The COM.
mission is also given the right to
fix rates on street railroads and to
compel good service by all public
carriers.
Governor Smith will appoint the
two additional commissioners as
soon as he signs the bill, and he
will also name the attorney for the
commission.
At the closing session the house
tabled the bill Of Senator Farmer,
which sought to give to power COM
Danics the right of eminent domain
in condemning property, the meas
ure being regarded by Mr.. Wright
and other reform leaders as exceed
ingly dangerous, as it was very
sweeping in its provisions.

ties, failed of passage. The senate
declined to concur in the provision,
which was in the nature of an
amendment to the tax act, and the
house acceded. The amendment
had been weighted down with pro-
visions for taxes on sewing ma
chine companies, soft drinks and
other things, and it's defeat was
evident. Had there been more
time it is likely that the amend
ment would have been pass
ed, placing tax On railroads, street

TO MEASURE
Wis INERTIA
School Authorities Test
Pupils for Measure Of
Their Energies

NEW YORK, July 3.-The school
authorities of New York have had
their attention called to an invention
called the ergograph. which is war
ranted to determine correctly the real
cause for pupils backwardness in
his studies. When the Ounce of the
class remarks casually that two and
two make five the horror-struck
teacher need no longer throw the
blackboard at him. Instead, he can
test him by the ergograph, and find
whether overstudy or too much play
Is the cause of the disaster. The new
instrument Is German invention and
is said to have been tried successfully
in the London schools. The glowing
reports of it's success may lead to its
adoption for the school of New York
and other American cities.
According to the description the
forearm of a child is clamped to the
table that holds the apparatus. Then
the hand is secured, only the middle
finger being left free. This isolated
finger is placed in a little steel box,
and the pupil fiexes the muscles as
long as he can, setting wheels and
springs at work, with the result that
suspended weight lifts with each eff
fort There is an indicator at the back
of it, whose marks ascend from five
to 800. The child that succeeds in
pressing the Indicator to the highest
point invariably turns out to be a
bright boy in his class.
If Johnny arrives in the morning
feeling so fit that he can push the
indicator up to 100, and in the evening
can get it only half as far, the infer
ence is that Johnny needs less study
and more fresh air, or, perhaps, better
food and more of 1t.
/ 1t is said that the ergograph does
not confine it's revelations to children
1t is equally efficient in dealing with
adults. One of its virtues is that II
will show whether the subject is lazy
