than eighteen members in any event
and that no representative shall be a
member of more than three commit
tees.
The result of this rule will be strong
er and better committees. and closer
committee attention to legislation.
1t will remove from the floor of the
house into the committee rooms more
definitely than ever the consideration
of legislation
In the house Of representatives in
Georgia, the open forum" of the house
soon will be quite as inconsequential
really. as is the open forum" Of the
national house now.
A few strong men-eXceptionall
strong-will be able to accomplish
something on the floor. As a rule,
however, debate will be utterly futile in
the open.
To get anywhere at all in the matter
of influencing legislation, it necessarily
will be confined to the committee rooms
almost exclusively.
These things being true, it will occur
TO many people that the power and di-
rect influence Of the speaker will be
greatly amplifed and broadened by the
adoption of the new rule with respect
to committees.
The speaker has the absolute and
arbitrary right Of appointment in the
matter of house committees. He Sc
lects the various chairmen and mem
bers just as he plea ses-it is nobody's
business primarily out the speakers.
There is not even a pestiferous mi
nority in the Georgia house las there is
in the national house, to Recommend"
to the speaker certain preferred ones
for consideration,
The next speaker of the house will
appoint certain chairmen, who will
WELD tremendous legislative influence.
and he will distribute relatively the
most influential and commanding com
mittee assignments ever given out
1t is not at all likely that any Georgia
speaker ever will become a "czar" OF
the house Of representatives but it GER
tainly is true that under the proposed
order of things for the future he will
be far more powerful and effective in
direct legislation than he ever has been
heretofore.

GOOD ADVICE FOR
ATLANTA PEOPLE

People in Atlanta who have consti-

relief almost INSTANTLY because this
simple mixture antiseptieizes the diges-

Southern Pacific
Train Is Burned

TUCSON. ARIZ.. Sept 12.-The
latest outrage of Mexican rebels, the
capture and burning of a Southern Pa
cifc train at Aguas Africa, south of
Nogales, led railroad officials here to
declare today that demands made on
the United States government for pro-
lection for property and passengers
will be pressed.
All except the Pullman and day
coach of the train were burned. A ne
gro porter came from the scene on
hand car to get an engine to haul the
two cars back to American soil.
President Epes Randolph, of the
Randolph lines which are affiliated
with the Hartman system, is compil-
ing list of the property outrages
perpetated by tnsurrectos to be sub
mitted to the government. The list in
cludes the burning of bridges, distur-
bance of telegraph communication and
the destruction of trackage All of the
damage has been done by insurgent
and bandit gangs who profess allie
glance to General Campo, one of the
rebel leaders in Sonora.
Rebels Cost Road 100000
The larger part of our road on Mex
lean soil has been out of commission
for months" said Mr.. Randolph today.
Bridges have been burned faster than
they can be repaired Many miles Of
uackage along the 1000 miles leading
TO Topic have been blasted out with
dynamite. The total financial loss from
property destruction and depletion in
revenue will be more than 100000
TIL Mexican gederal government
has tried to help US. But the situation
has got beyond it. The insurgents are
so scattered that several bands may be
operating at once and it is impossible
for the federals to round them all up.
No sooner is one band displaced than
several others get active at another
part of the line.
The rebels are not satisfied with
destroying properly; they want to add
murder to every crime"
Twenty five miles south Of Guayamds
rebels tried to kill all the passengers on
a train by wrecking the underpining o.
a trestle so the train would plunge into
deep ravine. They failed. owing to
the vigilance of the engineer.

upon them and it was only through
good fortune that they escaped from

The crossing on East Stephen

in the city as the number Of people
crossing there is increasing every day
and there is no warning signal of any
sort there. There have been a num-

RAILWAY PosTMEN
WILL BE PROMOTED
Annual Wage Increases Are ProVi
ded for 5000 Effective
October 1.

Washington, Sept 17-Promotion
for $4,000 railway postal clerks on
October l will be provided in orders
issued by Postmastor General Hitch
cock. In the railway mail service
there are 1900 clerks and a major
ity OF those not promoted on october
l, will receive more pay before the
end OF the current fiscal year More
than $1000,00O will De expended in
making the promotions
4 reorganization of the railway
mail service and increased pay for
postal clerks We're authorized in the
recently enacted po5tofIice approprf
alton bill. The project was urged by
Postmaster General Hitchcock in the
belief that it would result in far
greater efficiency in the service and
in the making of promotions along
iairer lines.
Although more than $1,00O,OO0 a
year viii be involved in the increase
it viii cost the government no more
Postmaster General Hitchcock has
projected plan to save that amount
by a Encouragement of railway mail
car space and the amount the Govern
ment pays annually TO he railroads.
The new law provides for three
classes Of railway postal lines with
their transfer and terminal offices.
The compensation will be highest for
lines en- which work is heaviest Be
ginning with $500 q year, all clerks
who render faithful service Will re
ceive annual promotions of 500 until
they reach the maximum of the sue
cessive annual grades after which
they may be promoted for specially
meritorious service until their pay
reaches $500.
Chief clerks in the railway service
Will receive salaries of $1,000.
Hitherto it has been the custom to
promote railway clerks only when
vacanias occurred through death, re
signation or removal Hereafter
railway clerks will have assurance OF
annual promotions within the limits
indicated so long as they discharge
their duties faithfully.
This is the method applied satisfac-
torily several years in adjusting the
compensation of postomce clerks and
city letter carriers. but the range of
salaries for railway clerks will be
higher because of the hazardous ma
ture Of their employment.
