two corporations do not bear the same
relation to each other as do their true
values, due to speculative considerations
This makes it difficult to determine upon
the proper terms of a consolidation.
Second. Many of the omcials or the
two companies would naturally oppose
consolidation as 1t would throw many OF
them out of their positions.
Third. The public Is slow to see that
consolidation is in the public interest.
Therefore the public might oppose con-
solidation.
Fourth. The companies believe tina,
they can get two fares out of many pas
sengers if they can remain separate cor
porations.
1.-THE policy of compulsory universal
transfers. IL that be constitutional, Is
favored not only for immediate public
convenience, but because 1t will remove
one Of the things that stand in the way
Of consolidation.
No Hardship on Companies.
Further. it is not believed that ami.
versal transfers would work a hardship
upon the companies. To offset the cases
where passengers now pay two fares to
make single journey would be, first, the
cases where passengers would ride who
now walk to avoid two fares, and, second
the reduction in the distance some pas
sengers would be hauled who now pursue
circuitous routes between points so as
to stay on the lines of one company.
LAS to the division of the fare. II uni
versal transfers be maugurated I think
consideration should be given to the sim
pie and practical method Of arranging
equal division between the companies rem.
dering service in the case OF each passen-
ger.
Another question intimately connected
with universal transfers that should be
taken in hand now Is as to the extension
of street railway lines into territory not
now served. 1t is believed that some solu-
ton of this problem can be worked out
which will make available toward the
construction of any extension a fair and
equitable portion of the Increment Of
value accruing to the lands opened up by
the new line. while providing that the lat.
ter shall be operated by one of the exist
ing companies or by the consolidated
company II the consolidation can be
brought about"

CAMPAIGN CLAIMS
CAUSE AMUSEMENT
Hoke Smith Forces Laugh
Over J. R. Smiths Estimate
of Governors Strength

Sixty-seven people, not including the
clerical force, were in the rooms, when
former Governor Hoke Smith visited his
campaign headquarters, on the fifth
floor of the Peters building Monday
morning. AS many more came and went
during the time the candidate was pres
ent, and, according to the managers,
there had been fully 100 visitors before
Mr.. Smiths arrival.
While there were many Atlantians
among those in the rooms, 1t is said that
a majority Of the callers were people
from other sections Of the state who
had either come to Atlanta to discuss
the gubernatorial campaign, or, being
here on other business, made use or the
opportunity to get in touch with the
Hoke Smith campaign.
The managers of the Smith campaign
Mr.. Smith himself and all OF the callers
on Monday regarded ]. r. Smiths estl-
mate of Governor Browns strength
with amusement. The governors mana
ger, lust before he left Atlanta, gave
out a statement. in which he claimed
1875 counties. The estimate, based upon
a correspondence covering two weeks, is
looked upon as highly extravagant-too
r J. Griffin, who helped direct MI
Smiths campaign in 1906, and who is
now associated with the campaign, ana
H. Y. McCord, Of the campaign start
laughed heartily at the estimate whlcn
conceded to Mr.. Smith only a fighting
chance in 20 counties. No counties
were enumerated in re estimate now
ever.
The Smith managers are wondering
LT,,lE
the 20 that Governor Browns mana
ger comedies to Mr.. Smith. They are
confident that Fulton will give the
former governor a handsome majority.
Mr.. Smith has not yet begun Work
on his Waycross speech, but II Is I'M
derstood that he will carefully pNepare
IL for publication in the press or the
state. The preparation OF the speech
will be an additional drain upon hfB
time, but does not intend that IL sna1i
interfere with the details Of the cam
naign. which he gives close attention.
II was announced at Smith headquar-
ters that waycross was not selected as
the scene of Mr. Smiths first campaign
speech solely because Of Ware county
big labor vote, although this fact was
weighed in consideration Of the matter.
Waycross is one Of the biggest railroad
centers in the state, easily accessible to.
and frequently visited by, people from
half a dozen surrounding counties. 1t is
believed that a speech at Waycross will
be heard by voters OF Ware, Coffee. APP
ping, Charlton, Pierce and Clinch coun-
ties.
At Macon, on Saturday night, Mr.. Smith
will speak in the city auditorium, which
has a large capacity. and it is believed ne
will be heard by a record-breaking crowd.
1t has not been definitely decided
whether Mr.. Smith will continue a speak
ing campaign after the Waycross and
Macou speeches.

NINE MORE COUNTIES
CLAIMED FOR BROWN
Campaign Manager Maddox
JokingIy Claims 1876 Coun-
ties for the, Governor

The estimate given out Sunday by
]. r. Smith, concerning his idea or
Governor Browns strength in the
state, was slightly increased Monday
morning by Campaign Manager Ed Mad
dox. He announced with a pleasant
smile that the mornings mail made him
confident that nine more counties were
for the governor, and that, all told, he
would carry not less than 1875 of the
LAG counties. The IL counties left for
the governors opponent, Hoke Smith,
were not enumerated by Mr.. Maddox.
Mr.. Maddox did not eacn Atlanta I'M
til II o'clock. He spent Sunday at
Rome, resting after the strenuous cam
paign work of last week He found
several people in Browns headquarters
upon his arrival, but most of them had
called concerning Fulton county mat
tiers, so that he jumped Immediately in
to the mail that had been delivered be-
fore his arrival
A pile of probably SO letters engaged
Mr.. Maddox's attention, and it was on
the strength of these communications
that he increased j. r. Smiths esti-
mate of the governors strength.
DIN Stamps, manager of the Fulton
county campaign, was at headquarters
Monday morning, after an absence o.
ten dys He expressed qualification
over local conditions as he found them,
and again voiced the belief that Gov
ernor Brown will carry Fulton.

POOR CROP REPORTS SEND
CEREAL PRICES HIGHER
Cotton Has Been Excited
With Short Panic in July
..........---...... Delivery

Poor crop reports have furnished the
stimulus for the higher prices touched in
the leading speculatively dealt in staples,
says Bradstreets. The cereals, particu-
larly wheat and corn, and cotton have all
moved up quite sharply. In the case of
wheat the chief stimulus seems to have
come from the decidedly poorer run of
foreign crop reports, though the reports
from the American and Canadian spring
wheat regions have also been of deterior-
alton. Russian reports have been poor,
dry weather in one port of the country
and wet weather in the other helping ad-
vances, while French reports are of cold,
wet weather and heavily reduced sur
plus, while lack of rain was reported
from India
Foreign markets have moved nearer
a parity with America. The larger move
ment of winter wheat the west has tenn
pered but not checked the bullish feel
ing. The highest prices of the week were
touched on Monday, when July was up
ga cents here and over / cent at Chi
cago. Some reaction was shown later on
the pressure of new-crop winter wheat on
the market July at the highest price this
week was up "a cents from the low of
June 10. September showed only a slight
advaice this week, but is up Is cents
from the low of June. July delivery at
Chicago is II cents above the low of
June.
Corn reflected reports of continued
dry weather at the west, as well as the
strength in wheat, in an advance of 80 4
cents here and 3 cents at Chicago, but
declined on Friday on reports of rains.
Cotton has been excited with wide
fluctuations. A q short panic developed
in the July delivery. Spot cotton on
Monday reached 1915 cents, the high est
point touched since the Sully corner of
1904, when 1928 cents was recorded.
With that exception ii was the highe est
price touched since 1874. In the new
crop months the reports of dry wealth er
in Texas and continued wet weather in
the south Atlantic states caused heavy
buying by the immense short interest.
and October advanced 40 points in two
days. July later dropped 40 points net,
at one time showing a drop Of 80 points.
while October lost only 10 points. There
were reports of heavy shipments Of cot
ton to New York from Europe, New Eng
land and the south, but these had only
temporary effect on Tuesday, when
the lowest point was touched.
