RENTALS ARE SUGGESTED
FOR BUILDING OF ROAD
Other Recommendation by Committee
Members.

Atlanta, Ga, August IA propo,i-
ton looking toward the extension Of
the Western and Atlantic railroad 20
Tidewater was put forward in re-
port by the legislative committee APP
pointed to investigate that property
was made to the state assembly TO
day. The scheme, which was merely
in the nature of a suggestion, was Il
move the Chattanooga and Atlanta
terminal of the road, rent the valua-
Bile land they now occupy and use the
money thus realized in building the
road to the Atlantic coast
The Western and Atlantic is owned
by the State of Georgia and is under
lease to the Nashville, Chattanooga
and st. Louis. This lease will expire
in 1919 and the Legislature is after L
plant to handle the property to the
best public interest. The road is 1877
miles long and runs from Chatta-
nooga to Atlanta.
The committee making the report is
headed by Representative Hooper Al
exander and recently inspected the
roads property both here and in Chat
tanooga. It's report is based on this
finding.
1t is pointed out that land values
occupied by the stations in the two
cities have greatly increased in, value
and could be put to a better use thar
now, while the yards and depOts coulC
be moved without injuring the roads

The committee also made recon.

SHEPPARD WOULD ALLOW
VETERANS FREE PASSES.
Bill introduced With That End IN
View.

Atlanta, Ga, August 2.-It appears
that the hopes of the state railro; d
commission in keeping that portion
of the Hepburn Act which prohibits
the doing of free passes by railroads
as part of the railroad statutes Of
Georgia, are going glimmering.
This morning the senate passed a
bill, introduced by Senator Sheppard,
of the Thirteenth district, allowing
railroads to give passes to the Con-
federate Veterans. A portion of the
bill is exempted by the Hepburn Act
as much as veterans who are inmates
of soldiers homes are allowed to re-
ceive passes, but the remainder is
contrary to the provisions of the Hep
burn Act.
The senate committee on railroads
is now considering a bill to allow
county sheriffs free passes. A bill
was introduced in the house yester-
day morning TO allow weekly news
papers to exchange advertising for
mileage. Both bills represent condi-
tons contrary to the Hepburn Act,
and both the sheriffs and the weekly
press have received adverse decisions
from the state railroad commission.
1t appears now that the bill allow
| ing Confederate veterans to accept
free passes, which the house will not
dare to vote down, and which is coz
sidered by the state railroad commits
sion as the least Objectionable of the
three, will be used as a precedent q
cain favorable consideration for the
other bills.
The heroic attempt Of the railroad
commission to make certain portions
Of the Hepburn Act, now in operation
nv the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. part Of the fundamental la"
of Georgia, has been met with con
tfnuous opposition.
H. Warner Hill, chairman OF The
commission, did not want to discuss
the question in full Tuesday after
noon.

HUGHES FAVORS COTTON
TARIFF REVISION BILL

Washington, August with the
cotton tariff revision bill in progress
in the house, which is expected 10
pass the measure on Thursday, sen
ators are already beginning to discuss
their line of action. The cotton bill
is not included in the voting agree
ment recently reached by the Senate
for disposing of legislation prepare
tory to adjournment, and it is already
apparent that the bill will become
the subject of sharp division in the
democratic ranks in the senate.
Many Southern democratic senators
would like to find a way of postpo1-
ing action until December, and are
suggesting the desirability of hearings
They contend that the passage of the
bill at this time would injure the cot
ton manufacturers. The insurgent re-
publicans and large proportion II
the democratic colleagues refuse &c
secede delay.
The speakers tonight were Repre-
sentative Moore, of Pennsylvania, re-
publican, against the measure, and
Representative Hughes, of Georgia
democrat, supporting it.
