Lee Long Discovers That
They Are rendered Only

TEN in Alabama

While the Louisville and Nashville
railroad issues coupons which may in
the future be redeemed for an amount
above 21h cents paid per mile for rail-
road transportation, the South and
North. running from Decatur to Mont
gomery, does not issue such coupons.
j. Lee Long, chairman of the state
tax commission and a probable candi-
date for governor, discovered that fact
yesterday. He was given the coupon
when he purchased a ticket from
Greenville to Montgomery, but was
forced to accept a receipt for his money
and no coupon when he purchased a
ticket from Montgomery to Birming-
ham and from Birmingham to Mont
gomery.
No sooner had Mr.. Long made known
the situation than Charles Henderson,
president of the railroad commission.
explained.
Our order putting into effect the 21s
cent rate was directed against the
Louisville and Nashville and not
against any branch of the Louisville
and Nashville. Therefore, whereas the
Louisville and Nashville Will issue the
coupon good for redemption, no branch
of the road Is required to do likewise
"We figured that II we considered
first of all the case against the main
system, it would be easier to considar
the cases against subsidiary line. The
South and North will be considered
and when we are through II is more
than probable that that line will also
issue the coupons.
Monday we begin the case against
the Western of Alabama AS soon as
we have dispensed with the Western
of Alabama, we will take up the case
against the South and North.''
Mr.. Henderson expressed great a,,-
tion in that the prospect of mic,
depot at Jasper. as a result of the de-
cision of the supreme court, seems verv
good. '

Railroad Commission Will Continue to

tended at the. 1912
Conference

Chafles Henderson, president of the rail-
road commission, is opposed to an extra
| session of the Legislature as advocated
| by b. B. Conner, former governor and
a candidate for governor.
Mr.. Henderson states that any man who
| advocates an extra session for the pur-
pose OF making statutory rates is igno-
rant of true conditions and shows a fine
disregard for the money of the people
of the state. In this regard, Mr.. Hen
derson says
The decision of the supreme court in
the Minnesota rate case simply confirms
the opinion of that body of business men,
who assembled in Birmingham In 1902,
from different sections of the state. for
the purpose of organizing a campaign
looking to the creation of a railroad COM
mission with authority to regulate the
rates of railroads operating in Alabama
1.-The present laws on this subject are
the result of their zeal and determine
ton. together with the thousands of 9TH
ers who recognized the necessity of such
action and Joined with them in this great
movement.
1T should be the purpose of every
administration to so perfect the laws
pertaining to the duties of the officers of
each department of the state; that the
efficiency of such departments will be
not dependent upon the peculiar ideas or
notions of each succeeding executive.
so far as Alabama is concerned the
only additional legislation needed relat-
ing to railway transportation is along the
lines heretofore indicated by me III pub
lished statements. When these are made
the commission will be brought to the
highest state of efficiency. There will
then be no need of rate regulation being
introduced into gubernatorial campaigns.
but will be confirmed to the election of
the officers conducting this particular de-
partment. No doubt We may find some
individuals from time to time who will
advocate legislative rates, but this has
not been encouraged by the Minnesota
decision, and has proven very unsatisfac-
tory in the past
THE Alabama commissioners do not
consider their status has been affected
by the recent Minnesota decision and will
continue their rate hearings as heretofore.
The lines of procedure which they had
mapped out before this decision above
referred to will not be changed.
IF any one desires to advocate the
calling of special session of the legis-
lature for the purpose of establishing
statutory rates / would say he was ig-
norant OF true conditions as they exist
today and had but little regard for the
states money which is being drained
from an already overburdened people"
