Railroads Agree With Commission.

Beginning with April /, 1908, coupons
will be issued in Tennessee with each
passenger ticket sold by the Louisville

the Nashville, Chattanooga and st.
Louis Railway on intrastate traffic, In
case decree is entered in favor of the
railroad commission Of the state Of
Alabama in the litigation with the Lou
isville and Nashville railroad in that
state in regard to the justice and rea-
sopableness of the 29-cent passenger
rate these coupons in Ten nessee will be
redeemed by the company at the rate
of one-half cent per mile for each mile
travelled on the ticket An order pro.
vided for such an issuance of coupons
was issued by the railroad commission
and agreed to by representatives OF
these roads at the conference held in
the Office of the commission Saturday.
This agreement was the net result OF
a conference which was characterized
by the utmost harmony, though its et-
feet may be OF incalculable Importance.
There was little argument on either
side. The announcement was made
within q few minutes after the confer
ence opened that the railroads had de-
cided to agree to.ithe coupon arrange
ment. From this time forth the only
points of discussion were in regard tC
what should be set out in the order Of
the commission. The general counse
of the three roads, together with Chas
H. Burch, general solicitor for thu
Yazoo and Mississippi Valley, framed
the order, and after some minor changes
made at the request Of either the rail
road commission or the representative
of the railroads the document, at ono
an order and agreement, was signed

The Debt 10 Tennessee.

In this matter Of railroad fares Ten
nessee has abundant reason for con
graduating itself and thanking the ad-
ministration OF it's affairs, which has
secured for the people of the state the
benefits Of all rate reduction that may
be legal, without involving the state ip
expensive litigation and the people in
the tempest OF railroad issue OF a po-
litical nature.
The governors OF North Carolina,
Georgia and Alabama precipitated their
respective states into reckless war on
the railroads. The results have been
more or less disastrous, in that large
sums of the public money have been
expended in litigation, and bitter aud
lasting political snimosities have been
engendered. Demagogues, taking ad.
vantage of the situation, have inflamed
the popular mind against essential
public necessities, and railroad enter,
prise, worth more to a community than
can be we'll calculated, has been iDjur-
ed, mayhemed, almost annihilated.
Had Tennessee jumped into this dis
tressing and disastrous fight with like
reckless disregard for the very life Of
railway transportation, encouraging
demagogic attacks, exciting the people
to an unreasonable antagonism against
railroads simply because they are cor
porations, there would, indeed, have
been long goodbye to all future de.
velopment of the wealth OF the south
1t is bad enough as it is, fer ignorance
and prejudice, as usual, have fought
blindly in these other states, and the
railroad industry is already crippled;
but Tennessee's conservatism has been
a sort of saving grace. 1t hes been the
Quarter given" that has preserved the
potential spark, which may again be
nourished into that life and vigor and
vim which bounding through southern
enterprise develops wealth and sets
progress at work in the land.
For this display Of conservatism the
south and the nation owes Tennessee a
debt of gratitue. 1t has, in way, been
bulwark against a ruinous spread Of
ill.considered hostility against the
most potential developing factors of the
country. 1t teaches that it is not nee
essary to resort to Incorporate political
upheavals to obtain that which is Just
and may be legal, and in carrying this
lesson this success Of conservative
handling of the question may prove q
turning point in the tide Of injudioiouS
opposition to the well-being of rail-
roads, Should this prove to be the re-
suit; should Tennessee's conservative
victory in gaining rate reduction bring
into being fairer and more just popu-
lar disposition toward these developers
OF the country then, indeed, the south
may hope for an early return to it's days
of fullness and the nation itself come
the sooner into another progressive era
