ought to be diminished as far as the
regulating power of the state can di-
minish them. But regulation and
correction of evil is quite different
matter from retaliation or revenge.
AS matter of fact, neither revenge
nor retaliation should have any place
in government or legislation.
Shippers Must BE Protected.
AS to remedies Governor Brown
says: Il, therefore, suggest to you
the advisability of providing by di-
rect legislation some fair and rea-
.sonable method whereby the individ-
ual shipper and consignee of freight
may enforce his rights, and obtain
redress promptly in the courts of the
state for Overcharges in freight, and
for delays in the settlement of claims.
In my opinion such laws will prove
a much more efficient remedy to the
individual shipper and consignee who
can bring suits in their local courts.
If they prefer, rather than pursue the
present indirect method of relief
through the railroad commission"
The Expensive Railroad Commission.
AS to the railroad commission
Governor Brown says: "The act en-
larging its powers, approved August
", 1907, created for absolutely UNI
necessary offices which levy addition
al taxes upon the people," and he
enumerates them at a total addition
al cost of $4,000.
G q OF nh I,
siders the enlargement of the board
unWlse he says: The sinecures
provided in the amended railroad
commission law are too patent to
justify discussion, hence submit the
subject to you with merely these
crucial questions: What has the
railroad commission of five mem
bers, with special attorney and a
rate expert, done which a railroad
commission of three members, com
posed as under the law, could not
have done, if clothed with the same
| powers now existing? If three com
missioners, each with qualifications
formerly required and each clothed
with the same powers now conferred
upon five commissioners, could have
done during the past two years and
can do in future the same things
done and to be done by the five com
misstoners, the attorney for the COM
mission and the rate expert. why
should the tax payers of Georgia be
| burdened with the unnecessary sala-
ries now paid to the two surplus COM
missioners and the two other gentle
men associated with them?"
Wants Fewer Elections.
| The governor wants fewer cleo
lions in Georgia. He suggests that
the state officers and the congress-
men be elected at the same time
! i. e., the Tuesday after the first Mon
/ day in November. The conditions
which made it essential to have the
state election and the national cleo
ton on different dates in Georgia
| have long since passed awav, and
/ there is no reason why the elections
should not be held on the same day.

Governor Joseph NJ. Browns mes
sage to the general assembly is a
clean, clear-cut paper, shorn of use
less language and driving directly to
matters Of moment at the inception
of his administration.
There are many new and interest
ing recommendations, among them a
bond issue to pay teachers overdue
salaries, department of labor, a
board of tax equalizers for both coun-
ty and state, biennial sessions, an in
heritance tax, double-tracking the
big trunk railway lines, a railroad
commission of three members and
the elimination of the special attorney
and rate expert, suppression of lob
bying, stringent game laws and the
erection of a monument to the con-
federate dead on the capitol grounds.
He reiterates the independence of
the coordinate departments of gov
eminent, and in full recognition of
it approaches the legislature in
kindly spirit of comfy and coop
GRAFTON" to lay his recommendations
before the body. He does not ask
that the peace be kept on one side
only, but impartially says: I'VE
must put behind us animosity, dis
card denunciation and accord to
those who differ with us the right to
hold individual opinions and to exer-
else individual judgments--the right
guaranteed to all by the spirit of our
institutions and the letter of our
laws"
Peace and Good Will.
AS a matter of fact the message
shows throughout that the policy OF
the administration is a constructive
one, the building up of the breaks in
the prosperity of the state brought
about by the destructive policies OF
the past few years, to heal up the
wounds and restore to full health
and activity the patient that had sui.

laid for a new industrial and com
mercial expansion of the state.

No threats are INDUCED in. Geor
gia has had enough of denunciatiol
and big stick manoeuvers for some
time. All must obey the law, he de
clares, and all must be protected il

its power to earn a reasonable in
come.
Corporations Must Give Good Service.
The corporations, on the other
hand, Governor Brown says, are
obligated to give the public good
service and "a service indiffer-
ent to the rights, needs and COM
forts of the people is sure to bring
about those oft recurring periods of
anti-corpOratiOn activity, resulting
in harsh and retaliatory measures
that rarely fall short of vindictiVe
reprisals." The corporations, lit
must be said, are not without blame
for public sentiment in regard to
their acts; hence, it is proper to state
clearly that the full power vested in
the executive shall be used to protect
the people against any unjust con-
duct on the part of corporation.
A Commission of Labor.
He also expressly favors the crea-
ton of a commissioner of labor
charged with the enforcement of all
laws affecting labor, something that
is probably very much needed Such
an official would be of great value
in the settlement of labor disputes
The governor clearly does not like
the interference of the federal Off
Gals in Georgia labor troubles.
Aside from this general policy,
which could not have been better
stated, Governor Brown recommends

in the public schools of the state and
suggests the issuance of 100000 OF
bonds as the method of raising the
money.

When the convention opened It was ap-
parent that some few of the Daughters
had not fully made up their minds.
Incidents, deemed trivial at any other

candidate today as the most consistent
arguments advanced as to their respec-
tive abilities. With both candidates for
