PERMANENT
REGISTRATION
STATUTE
Bill Allowing Georgia Voters to
Ballot at the County Seats
Also Framed.

Representative Carl Vinson, Of Bald
win. speaker pro tenn of the house and
one of its leading members, win in
troduce two bills of extraordinary and
far-reaching importance at the forth
coming summer session of the legis-
lature.
One Of Mr.. Wilson'S bills will provide
for the permanent registration of voters
in Georgia, and the other will provide
that voter may cast his ballot either
in his militia district or at the county
seat, as he may elect.
S6oth measures likely will be hearth
GE. not at all unlikely that both may be-
come laws.
Undoubtedly there is widespread dis
satisfaction with the present registra-
Aon law, and also with the law which
restricts voter to. his own militia dis
trict.
Vinson Discusses Bills.
II am Of the opinion" said Mr.. Vim
son, that simple registration law,
unQGI WHICH q NOIeI once registered
shall remain registered until he dis
qualities himself by non payment of his
taxes. or otherwise, would meet every
registration requirement of fair ball
ls3and an honest election. The present
registration law is utterly unreason-
able, and so complex that lawyers diff
fer widely as to exactly what it does
mean. Registration should be made
an easy matter, not a difficult one.
"As to the other proposed law. under
the operation Of the present statute
many voters in rural counties have to
go farther to vote in their militia dis
trlcts than they would have to go to
vote at their county seats. I know of
cases where voting at the county seat
involves trip of four miles, as against
trip OF fifteen to the voting place in
~ required militia district All voters
Sf6uld have the unquestioned right to
elect where they will vote.
Mr.. Vinson proposes to introduce
both measures early in the session and
TO work hard for their passage

State railroad commissioners repre-
senting the entire South viii meet in
Atlanta on Monday to urge the inter
state commerce commission to suspend
the new Southern freight classification.
effective June II, until thorough in
vestigation of its provisions can be
made.
A superficial Investigation of the new
schedule, known as Southern Classifi-
cation No 80. by members Of the Geor-
gia commission has developed the fact
that freight rate Increases involving
millions of dollars annually is contem-
plated
The Georgia commissioners have
pronounced the new schedules ordered
for Southern business Implications of
the Western schedules recently sus-
pended by the Interstate commerce
commission pending an investigation by
that body.
Sweeping Increases Made
Figures compiled by the Georgia com
mission show that $50 increases have
been made. against S27 decreases, but
the increases apply on articles most
commonly transported and generally
used while the decreases, as a rule. at
feet only articles little used.
The new Western classification SINH
lar to the Southern one. was issued
last January 1t was discovered at
once that from the manifold changes
in classification a general increase in
freight rates, aggregating 100000 600,
had been made by Western railroads.
An order of suspension from the Fed
era1 commission was Immediately OBJ
tanned by Western states.
The call for the Atlanta meeting was
issued by Chairman Gambler, of the
Georgia commission, and assurance has
been received that every Southern state
excepting Tennessee and kentucky, vii,
be represented. The Southern commits

DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
DEMOCRATS SCORE THE TARIFF
BOARD.

A violent attack on the Tariff Board and
the declaration that President Taft lis now
in harmony" with the plan for downward
revision of the cotton schedule. despite his
veto last summer. were features Of the re-
port of the Democrats of the Ways and
Means Committee Of the House on the cot
ton bill, made public on Tuesday.
The President said in his message of
March 26 last, submitting the Tariff Board
report on the cotton schedule: now rec
ommend that Congress proceed to consid-
Grafton of this schedule with view to its
reduction" the report detailed.
The only question remaining is the
extent to which the reduction should be
carried.
This committee has made a careful
analysis of the Tariff Board report. AS a
result. however. nothing of beneficial sig
nificance has been found. The report is
not really tariff document.
1T has nothing to say respecting the
duties as affecting manufacturing concerns
engaged in the industry, capital, or labor,
the profits Of manufacturing concerns, and
practically nothing relative to the general
influence of the present tariff on the status
of the industry.
Discussion and analysis of the tariff
act of 1909 has shown that defective and
Objectionable as were the provisions Of
the entire measure. the rates Of duty on
cotton and wool were of all the most I'M
satisfactory.
1T would appear that the tariff board
practically accepts the idea that tariff du-
ties should be based upon the difference
in cost between the most efficient mills in
the United States and Great Britain.
THE report fails to show that high tariffs
have any effect in keeping up the returns
of labor. The board shows that many
cloths highly protected sell more cheaply
in this country than in England This, in
another form. is a statement that protec-
ton is intended for the employee There is
however. no ground for this contention.
The supposed influence of protection to
labor has been entirely absent The eff |
cheney of American labor is such as to put |
us in position to compete successfully with |
any country in the world
In conclusion the Ways and Means Com
mittee says:
The boards report shows that excessive
duties are exertine peculiarly harmful
effect in maintaining system Of unneces-
sarily high prices to the consumer. The
immediate remedy for this condition Of
affairs is the reduction of rates which have
rendered possible this system of extortion."

FARM FUNDS FOR MARYLAND.

FARM FUNDS FOR MARYLAND.
II has been announced at the Department
Of Agriculture. at Washington, that farm
MANAGEMENT work will shortly be insti-
tuted in Maryland and neiehborine States
with much vieor. The department now
has nearly 100000 for this particular
work
The Senate added $4,000 to the orig
inal House appropriation, which gives Sec
Rotary Wilson and his assistants a much
larger sum than they had anticipated.
Three-fourths Of the farm-management
appropriations have heretofore been ex-
pended in the cotton States in an effort to
eliminate the "one-crop" evil which had
hold on many Southern farmers.
AS result of the boil weevl epidemics
the one-croppers were practically put out
Of business temporarily The major portion
Of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT expenditures were
employed in aiding those farmers whose
business had been hurt by the weevil.
The department officials have this handi-
cap TO Southern farmers pretty effectively
curbed now. As a consequence Secretary
Wilson has announced that larger share
Of this ACKNOWLEDGEMENT money will here
after be devoted to experiments in Mary
land, Virginia and West Virginia. and
during the present summer and fall the
farms in these three States will receive a
greater share Of attention than they have
ever had in the past.
Especially will Montgomery county bene-
ft by the increased appropriations. The
county being adaptable to the research

RA YNER'S PLEA.

After making an eloquent eulogy of the
career of the late Admiral Winfield Scott
Schley, Senator Rayner. of Maryland. won
a signal victory in the Senate on Monday
last over the question of the amount of
the pension to be granted the widow of
that gallant officer By a vote of AZ to 10
the Senate voted Mrs. Schley a pension of
$3.50 month. Those Senators opposed to
this amount were willing to allow $50 per
month.
Senator Rayner also re-opened some of
the wounds and heart-burnings of the
Sampson-Schley controversy over the bat
tie of Santiago. and asserted vigorously
that the latter was entitled to the entire
credit for the victory.
with us in the Senate apprehend this
pension will be matter Of patriotism and
impartial justice" he said. 1T is really a
pittance am asking for the widow in her
comfortless and declining years.
Il do not regard il exactly in the light
of a pension. because it is beyond that, a
recognition Of the memorable service OF
this gallant officer. Is the widow of this
hero to pass her declining years in desola-
ton and sorrow without the ordinary neces-
sites Of life?
But il she is, then the history of civil
lization presents no parallel to case like
this. and the heart Of the nation would no
longer thrill with the patriotic recognition
of patriotic deeds.
During the progress of the Sampson
Schley probe, Admiral Schley said to me

Arctic zone, have battled with the foe in
the service Of my country, but this is the
severest ordeal through which have ever
passed. wish had died at Santiago

Rayner, he was weary, but the weary sur
