Letter to The Editor
The RaiIroaa IItigatiOn.


 Editor The Advertiser: The controversy between our State and the l.. & N. and other railroads, now pending in the United States Cir cult Court before Judge Jones, Is up at least for partial hearing. I have read the comments in your columns and other newspapers with much in- terest, and being myself a member of the legal profession have observed closely the general trend of similar Legislation. It seems to mo that Uni ted State Judge Hough's decision in the Gas case in New York correctly states the legal principle involved in these cases. He held. that the Legis- lature may constitutionally regulate the rates charged by any public service corporation, provided that the earnings are not by the act reduced annually below the legal rate of interest allowed in such State on the money cost of the stockholders stock in such corpora ton. but if the legislative act reduces the income below the legal rate of in- terest the act is confiscatory and un. constitutional. This. to my mlnd, Is the principle underlying the entire controversy.

SMITH IN SOUTH GEORGIA
MADE SPEECHES TO BIG AUDI
ENCES IN THIS SECTION.
OnstratiOns. Denies Joe
Browns Charges.

Browns Charges.
Governor Smith spent most of last
week campaigning in south Georgia.
He made speeches at Fitzgerald,
Townsville, Cairo and Moultrie, and
was heard by large crowd at each
place. His speeches were greeted
with enthusiasm by his friends.
Gov Smith charged there was
combination back of Joseph M.
Brown whose purpose was to keep
the negro as a voter, and thereby
to secure, if possible, a repeal of the
prohibition law. Among other things
he said:
Into the legislature was intro
duced one great question that had
not been before the people in the
primary. The legislature passed
state prohibition bill. / approved
the bill passed by the legislature, and
the present fight against the admin
listration comes from a combination
| of forces hostile to the bills which l
approved.
sit is true that 1 had publicly
stated in my race for governor that
| was a local optionist and would
vote for prohibition in my own coun-
ty, but l also stated that l would
approve the prohibition bill if the
legislature passed it. l did approve
it, and, therefore, the fight of the
liquor interests against me.
"If they could give it out to the
entire country that they had defeat
ed the southern governor who had
dared to approve the state prohlbi-
| ton bill their triumph would be even
greater than would come from a
serious modification of the law"
Gov. Smith also charged that there
was an effort on foot to defeat the
purposes of the new railroad COM
mission law, and said 'the men who
lead the opposition are fighting pro-
hibition, and would destroy the com
mission. They represent a portion
of the railroad system and the liquor
interests.
The policy of Georgia under the
legislation of last summer, the gov
ernor said, is to supervise and regu-
late with the view to protect the non
est stockholders and bondholders as
if protects the public at large.
Denies Browns Charges.
Governor Smith has replied to the
charges recently contained in cara
issued by Mr.. Brown
He saws he did not champion tne
cause of the whisky interests IN 1880
and has always voted for prohloltloh.
Neither did he, he declares, prevent
the introduction of the prohlbltlon
issue in the Macon convention nor
sought by personal appeals 10 IN
fuence the legislature against prom
hilton. He also says: II did not say
after signing the prohibition Dill tnaI
this is the happiest day of my life.
Governor Smith closes his state
ment as follows:
~Tust one more word: The pub
lie is not so much Interested aDou'
the past as about the future. MT
Brown should not undertake 10 ue-
ceive the public by speaking OF nos
tility to open saloons and at the same
time express his willingness 10 ap-
nrove all amendments to the Dill
An amendment could cut out hall the
counties of Georgia or let in hall the
| liquor made. ,.asuoohise-
ment it would be easy for MIN u
cav so. His silence under the charge
amounts to an admission that ne Is
onnosed to it.
