POSSIBLY A JOKER.
Amendment to Act Forbiddne Power
Transmission Out Of State.

Some people We're wondering
Wednesday if after all the act in
troduced in the morning by Repre-
sentative Pattangall of Waterville pro-
vlding for the removal of the pres
ent exemption Of railroads from the
provision Of the act passed by the
last Legislature which forbids the
transmission of power outside of the
state is not little joker intended
to rob the original act of all the force
which it ever had.
1t was stated "Wednesday evening
by gentleman familiar with the pas
sage of the act prohibiting corpora
items from transmitting electric power
beyond the confines of the State that
the clause in the first section which
exempts railroad corporations doing
business in the State from the pro-
visions of the act was put in the bill
in order to render it constitutional
and prevent it from conflicting with
federal statute and the interstate COM
merce law.
If the contention of the Journals
informant is correct it may be that
the astute Mr.. Fattangall has some
Willy scheme in view by which the
rendering of this act of the Legis-
latura unconstitutional may work to
his advantage and sees a way TO bring
it about by amending the act Of the
last Legislature in regard to the
transmission of power outside of tho
State until it becomes undisputably
unconstitutional. In this connection
it may be said that some who have
l,tA
sideration claim that the law passed
by the last Legislature. even with
the provision in it which Mr.. Pattan-
gail seeks to have eliminated, is I'M
constitutional

ANOTHER TRIUMPH FOR COMMITS
SI0NS.

The people of Mobile, by an over
whelming majority, have voted for
the substitution of a commission form
Of government for the NAL admins
tration that has resulted from the old
inefficient system of mayor and alder
men, nominated generally by ring Of
politicians and controlled more in the
interest Of office holders and patron
age manipulators than for the welfare
of the taxpayers as a whole.
SO it goes. City after city, when the
people have an opportunity presented
to them, are voting out the obsolete
system of municipal government. BY
its fruits they realize that the exist
ing system is impefect. expensive, too
subject to corrupt influences, and that
it must give way to something that is
more effective, more economical and
less apt to be manipulated in the inter-
est of the few at the expense of the
many.
Georgia cities are coming to It,
sooner or later. In nearly every city.
Americas not excepted, there is a
strong sentiment in favor of the com
mission form of government. From
two or three, or more, of them will go
bills to the coming session of the leg
islature, permitting their people to
establish commission forms of govern
ment. In this connection the Savan-
nah Morning News recently made a
very sensible suggestion, to the effect
that the legislature should simply pass
general bill, permitting any city OF
over 5000 people to establish a COM
mission government if it so desired
! leaving it to each municipality to make
the conditions as best suit its own Pc
culiar necessities This is what should
be done There is no sense in a multi
plicity of local bills. Give to every
Georgia city the right to supersede the
existing government by something bet
ter and then let it's own citizens worl
out their destiny unhampered by rigi(
rules laid down in a state law
Americas may be some time in ad
opting the commission form of govern
ment but eventually it and every othel
Georgia city will be operated undel
such system. 1t may develop weak
nesses that are not yet apparent, bu
its results seem to establish it as
vast improvement on the presen
methods.

Starting the Stopped.

One day an old farmer borrowed
mule from his neighbor; after he had
finished his work he sent his fourteen
year-old boy to take it home, says
writer in Mack's National Monthly. The
boy had gone about a half mile when
the mule stopped and positively refus-
ed to go any further. After the boy had
almost pulled his arms off, trying to
get him to go, an old doctor came
along, and asked: why, my son,
what is the matter with your mule?"
Why, sir, can't you see, he has
baked" cried the boy.
Well" said the old man, opening
his case and taking out a bottle label
led "carbolic acid" well see what We
can do for him." and he poured some Of
the acid on the mules back, and IN
much less than it takes to write it the
mule was galloping down the road at a
rate he had neved gone before.
The boy looked up in surprise, and
said: Doctor, have you got any more
of that stuff
YES" answered the man.
"Well, doctor, you are sure you have
got a whole lot more of it" he asked

you want to know for?" he asked with
smile
well, wish you would pour some
on me, doctor, for I've got to catch that
mule" answered the boy.
