RAIL BOARD To

The state railroad commission has as
sumed Jurisdiction over all common car
ricrs, including steamboat lines as a re-
suit OF a recent ruling of Judge ]. X.
Hines. its special attorney.
The ruling was made by Judge Hines
when the petition of the f. G. Cowan
Company, Of Gainesville. was filed with
the commission The Cowan Company
proposed to build concrete road from
Gainesville to Dahloneea and operate au-
tomobles between the towns for a freight
and passenger service The petition asked
II It was necessary to submit stock and
bond issue Tor the commissions approval.
Judge Hines based his views Of juris
dictiou on the code Of 1910 which dropped
the caption OF the act OF 1907 under which
the commission operates. For some reason
or other the caption Of the act and the
body counicted in the matter of iurlsdic-
ton, hut since the caption was dropped,
when the laws were codihed, and the
legislature declared the codincatiou the
real law. the commission has full sweep
over all the common carriers.
It is understood that the board Will be
called upon shortly To adjust freight
