Her parents objected to the match on

REFORM OF JUDICIAL SYSTEM

Savannah, Ca, June 1S.-Plans for
a new and better judicial system in
Georgia and for more satisfactory and
speedier procedure in the courts
are to be exhaustively discussed by
leading members of the bench and bar
who assembled at Tybeo Island today
for the annual meeting of the Georgia
Bar Association. For more than year
committee of the association has
been at work on plans for the revision
of the judicial system and its report
is awaited with much interest. The
report will be the principal subject of
discussion at the bar meeting, the
sessions of which will continue until
Saturday.

1.-THE railroads have, believe, prov
ed conclusively to the committee that
they were certainly not overpaid for
carrying the mails, but were, as we
see it, underpaid by at least $4,000,
900 annually. In making his closing
argument on the five per cent advance
rate case, ME-. Brandeis, as it's special
counsel, advised the Interstate
Commerce Commission that to him II
seemed clear that the railway mail
, service was unremunerative to the
railways.
"At the instigation of the Postoffice
Department, which has, we feel, been
grossly unfair in all questions relating
to compensating the railroads for carry.
the increased burden of the parcel
post, and before the Joint congression-
al committee has rendered its report,
Congressman Moon has introduced the
bill which revises the methods of pay
ing the railroads in such manner as
to reduce by about 20 per cent the
compensation now paid to the rail
roads.
"This proceeding not only seems
highly Inappropriate in advance Of the
Recommendation of the congressional
committee, but in itself proposes an
imposition upon the railroads which
is without warrent and is in the highest
degree unjust. 1t cannot be that such
q plan will have the support Of the
American people when the people rea-
lice what the plan actually means"
