RESOLUTION GAVE
NO DISCRETION To
GOVERNOR BROWN
An Examination of Georgia
Laws Shows Very Plainly
Purpose and Intent of the
Legislature ~-

Governor Browns message to the Leg
islature relative to the Western and At
lantic terminal matter, in which he
dwells upon his discretionary power in
the premises, has directed attention to
the acts of the last legislature, especially
resolutions dealing with the terminal
tracts, near Chattanooga. The Journal
has received many requests that the res
olutions, together with a history of the
matter be published, and herewith 1T is
presented:
WHAT THE LAW SHOWS.
An examination of the Georgia laws for
1909, part ", pages 1913 to 1852, inclusive,
establishes that Governor Brown had no
discretion in the matter of the purchase
of the terminal property for the Western
and Atlantic railroad at Chattanooga. A
reading Of the resolutions shows that
the governor, in failing to buy the prop
, erty and allowing the options to lapse,
disregarded a solemn mandate of the
general assembly.
A resolution by Mr., Alexander, of De-
Kalb, that the governor be instructed to
buy the lands near Chattanooga on
which he has secured an option from H.
Clay Evans, of that city, took the breath
, of the house away Tuesday afternoon
at the very end of the days session u
the representatives. Except for this res
olution, the feature Of the session would
have been the bitter fight in the Musco-
gee county delegation over local bill

TO work an hour earlier Wednesday morn
ing. -
Mr.. Alexander was the leader of the
movement which. Governor Brown refused
to follow, to buy three adjoining tracts
! near Chattanooga for w. & A. Termin-
ais. The governor, in his message, said he
did not approve Of those tracts. and that
he does not approve Of converting the
present terminals to other purposes; but
that II room for shops, ETC., was wanted,
he would commend the Evans tract.
about which he told, to the general as
sembly.
TO BUY AT ONCE, HE URGES.
1t is this tract which Mr.. Alexander,
/ leader of the opposition, seeks to have
1.-the governor buy at once and without
further parley. The option expires on
August /. The legislature may possibly
follow the resolution and act before
then. .....

GOVERNMENT CONTROL
THEME OF WATKINS

SEwANEE, Tenn, July T.
Among the most interesting and
thoughtful addresses that have been
delivered at the conference on southern
problems now in session at the Uni
versity of the South, was that by Ed
gar Watkins, the Atlanta attorney, on
the subject, Government Control OF
Railroads" From beginning TO end
his discussion was marked by breadth
of view and accuracy of treatment. He
showed that railroads could not be con-
sidered as merely private individuals
because railroads are OF a quasi-public
character. The individual has been
compelled to yield to these quasi-pub-
lie corporations and therefore they
must in their turn be made subject to
social welfare and to regulation by the
state.
Mr.. Watkins is one OF the most dis
tinguished lawyers OF the section and
has recently achieved national note as
author OF a legal work entitled ship
pers and Carriers OF Interstate
Freight"

hension. The speaker, grinning broadly,
declared that he had not. Mr.. Edwards
confined his speech to a remarkably sue

heavily for it's passage.
Mr.. Brown OF Murray, argued vigorous

the previous question at 1910 o'clock, and
Mr. Vinson OF Baldwin, moved that the
session of the house be extended till the
bill was disposed OF. Both motions pre-
vailed.
Mr. McMichael of Marion, as chairman
of the committee, reporting the bill, ad-
dressed the house just before the vote,
urging the Importance of the measure.
Mr.. McMichael said that Georgia is
spending as much money as any other
state in the union on education, with the
exception OF three or four states. Yet
despite this. according TO the speech of
Mr.. Edwards of Walton, Georgia stands
next to the bottom in the whole list of
states in point of education.
