FUNERAL OF WILLIAM WILLIAMS

This afternoon funeral services for
the late William Williams were held
in the Goodman undertaking parlors.
A great many friends of the depart
ed were present. many of them being
residents of the Florida mesa. The
pail bearers were chosen from among
tn neighbors on the mesa. and Du-
range personal friends.
Rev. G. f. Rassweiler, pastor of the
First M. E. church. had charge of the
services and delivered a comforting
and beautiful address on the text, "On
being delivered from the fear of
DEATH" Heb. 2:15. The central thought
was that sin and fear of death para
lyze the soul. Jesus came to set us
free from both and thus to make
known to us our inheritance as chill
dren of God.
Interment was In Greenmount

BROWNS ACTION
BEING DISCUSSED
1T is NOW THE TOPIC OF CON-
VERSATION I'M ATLANTA
POLITICAL CIRCLES.

Atlanta, July 24-Little is being
talked of in political circles today
but the story of former Governor
Browns refusal to take action in the
Western & Atlantic railway lease af-
fair 1t is the one absorbing topic
of the day.
Opponents of Joseph NJ. Brown and
of his policies consider this the most
luminous event of his whole political
career, arguing from it as they do
that when it comes to a case of a
clear showdown between the interests
of the public and the corporations,
between the people and the railroads,
Brown is for the vested interests,
first, last and all the time-that he
is still and will remain the champion
of what was called the ring" when
Hoke Smith and the progressive"
made their big fight against the fac
tons represented by Brown and Ter
rell
They point to the fact that the rail-
road commission found and reported
that the lessees of the w. & A. were
violating their agreements regarding
rates between Chattanooga and At
lanta; that the attorney general re
ported they were violating the lease;
that Judge Hines, special attorney for
the railroad commission, voiced the
same opinion; and that Governor
Brown in the face of all this remained
absolutely silent from December q
1910, until June 81, 1911, one day be-
fore his term expired, and then de-
clined to take action in the case.
However, the friends of Brown in
sist that he simply showed courage
in sticking to what he believed was
right regardless Of other opinions and
reports to the contrary
The whole affair is of momentou'
interest at this time, not only intrin-
sically but for its possible effect on
the gubernatorial situation, which is
the largest cloud looming in the back
ground of present Georgia politics.

THE FREIGHT RATE DECISIONS

Even though the railroads did not
generally win out in the important
rate cases which have just been decid-
ed by the interstate commerce COM
mission, the mere fact that the decis-
ions have been rendered ought to have
a tendency to clarity the situation in
the railroad world. To fall into the
vernacular. the railroads now know
where they are att And they can
arrange their affairs accordingly. An
other important effect that these decis-
ions should have is the settling for
some time to come of the incessant
squabbling that has been going on for
two or three years over freight rates.
These cases which have been settled,
unless the railroads carry them on to
the commerce court and then to the
supreme court, which is not likely, were
all comprehensive. They affected the
rates on practically all of the inter
state railroads in every section of the
country. 1t is reasonable to assume
that in deciding against any general
increases in rates, the commerce COM
missioners also arrived at the conclu-
sion that the present. or old rates are
at least fair. If they had considered
they probably would have said so for
their discussion OF the entire rate ques-
ton. in the opinions handed down, was
most elaborate. And so these decisions
should settle the freight rate question
on interstate traffic for some time, to
come That will bring welcome relief
to the railroads. the shippers, and the
general public, for the constant wrang-
io1,t no
stage where they threatened to dis
turb the requisite harmony that should
exist between the railroads, their pat
rons and the public. The interests of
all three, in the matter of developing
the country and its many business ac-
tivities, are identical. And to be at
swords points most of the time over
freight rates was not conducive to
maintaining the friendly relations that
should exist between all the parties
concerned.
Whether these important decisions
will seriously cripple any of the rail-
road properties of the country, as some
railroad men have been insisting that
such decisions would, remains to be
seen. They should not, and probably
will not, particularly as far as the
larger and most important railroad
system are concerned. All of
| these roads are now on pretty
firm foundations, and have been able
to do large and remunerative business
on the freight rates that have existed
as the commerce commission points out,
and this, too. during period when the
general business of the country has not
been as active or large as it has been
or probably will be in the immediate
future. If any of the roads are seri-
ously affected, it will be those which
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1911-02-25

have not been managed as they should,
forcibly suggests the public can not be
expected to foot the additional bills
that are incurred through the bad
management of railroads.
1t is a noticeable fact that the only
decision favorable to the railroads was
delivered by the commission in what
is known as the southwestern rate
case, which was pressed against the
Santa Fe and other carriers in the ter
ritory by the railroad commission of
Texas. In this case the f1rSt-class adj
vanced rates were permitted to stand,
and the second-class rates were reduced
from $129 to $1.25 but the reduced rate
in this instance is an advance over the
old rate which was $1.21. In discussing
this case Commissioner Harlan finds
that the carriers in the southwest have
not prospered as have many in other
parts of the country. And it was only
the other day that Governor Colquitt,
of Texas, pointed out that one of the
reasons why the railroads in the south
west had not prospered and develop
ed was because of the tendency of state
legislatures in that section to harass
and embarrass the operation of rail-
roads with a variety of anti-railroad
legislation which served no good pur-
pose. Evidently the time has come for
the calling of a halt in this direc-
ton.
