ing the $5O0 bargain offer that Cir
culation Manager Powell gave them a
second banquet last night. which was
attended by Dwight b. Heard, presi-

Heard addressed the boys, offering
his thanks and expressing his appre-

energetically working, securing hun

WashingtOn's Birthday

At the school house, last Mon
day, appropriate exercises were
rendered in commemoration of the
anniversary O this great mans
birth. Then. followed Arbor Day
work, in which te tchers, pupils and
visitors took part in planting trees,
vines and shrubbery to beautify the
grounds. Every grade plante a
tree, each pupil when called by
name, threw a shovelful Of dirt on
h. roots and then named the tree
for someone. The visitors were
honored with a tree to plant and it
was named Margaret Wilson, for
the bachelor maid" Of the White
House. The high school girls, OF
the tenth grade, dubbed their tree
Allie Moreland, in honor of the
sheriff's pretty wife.
The out-of-town visitors were
Mr.. Tom Johnson, of Macon; Prof.
Flowers, of Smithville; Miss Eliza
beth Jordan, of Albany; Miss Allie
Lawhorn, of Brentwood, and some
of the home parents and friends
were present.
Mr.. Ridge Rountree, the genial
farm demonstration of Lee cornty,
was lending a helping hand. Tie
novelty of the work and the exuber-
ant spirit of the pupils rendered the
occasion one to be pleasantly re-
membered far in the future.
Success to Prof. w. H. Beckham,
his corps of teachers, Leesburg's
High School, and Lee county's
prosperity.

tributed to the commercial and I'M
dustrial development Of the interior
south, and, while they resulted in
more frequent departures from the
long and short haul principle of the
law, the carriers had every reason
to believe that their practice had the
approval Of the public, even when it
was not directly the result of pub
lie demand. .f aani
Now, the Interstate Commerce
commission, pursuant to the require
ments of an amended law, has con-
Guided an enquiry into rates from
the eastern seaboard, including the
Virginia cities, from south Atlantic
and gulf ports, and from Ohio and
Mississippi river crossings, into the
southeast and Mississippi valley ter
ritory. AS a result the commission
has in large measure condemned ex-
listing departures from the long and
short haul requirement, except where
justified by competition beyond the
control of the rail carriers, phase
which came to be restricted to mean
direct or indirect water competition.
Obviously, the removal Of inequali-
ties condemned by the commission,
by reductions only, would result in
disaster to the carriers. This fact
is recognized by the commission,
which, in its review Of the situation,
stated:
at is entirely clear that the reve-
nues Of a large percentage of the
lines in the southeastern territory
would be so impaired by such pro-
cedure as to make it impossible for
them to meet their operating ex-
penses, taxes and fixed charges and
leave their stockholders even a mod
crate return"
1t is equally obvious that it would
be unfair to punish the carriers, in
conforming to a changed public
policy, for acts which at the time
of commission were approved by pub
lie opinion.
Hence in working out the order
of the commission such elevation of
rates to the depressed points must
accompany reductions to the much
larger number of intermediate points
as win at least preserve the revenues
of the carriers.
The task Of revision is no easy one.
1t has been undertaken in loyal ef-
fort to conform to the law, as now
interpreted, and to be fair to all.
Departures from the long and short
haul principle in the south are not
confined to interstate traffic. There
are in the south a great many intra-
state rates that do not conform to
the principle. If undue discrimina-
tions are to be avoided, these intra-
state rates mus be brought into har-
mony with the revised interstate adj
justment being made under the di-
rection of the Interstate Commerce
commission 1t is the purpose OF the
railways of the south to take up each
intrastate revision with the several
state railroad commissions.

Congressman Kelley, ofConneeti-

gresham from the Third District
in poetry. TIE people Of the dis
trict are proud d the record our
Congressman is making in Wash
ington and we appreciate the high
esteem in which he is held by his
colleagues. The poem is here re-
produced to illustrate the warm
place Mr.. Crisp occupies in the
hearts Of his associates.
Who's presiding in committee
On the sundry civil bill?
Why, Charley Crisp, Of Georgia!
He's the boy that fills the iii.
It's right easy job for Charley
To fill the Speakers chair;
He knows the rules OF congress,
And he's always just ard fair.
1t Just runs in the family
TO preside DER big debate
A perfect cinch for Charley
Like wiping off a slatel
But what's the great big reason
Round which all others flock?
Why simply he's his fathers SON
A chip off the old block.
The elder Crisp was speaker
Last in democratic line
(UntiI Champ Clark was seated
And parliamentary mind
Tie son imbibed the knowledge
Of rules at his fatlrer's knee;
So it's an easy job for Charley,
AS you can plainly see.
The manner of his rulings,
1t typifes his name,
And a ready House accepts them,
For it knows he knows the game
And some day he'll be the speaker
Just as sure as II O'Clock
Come round Inauguration day
He's a chip off the block.

RAILROADS EXPLAIN
FREIGHT RATE CHANGES

TO the People Served by the Rail-
roads of the South:
An order of the Interstate Com
merce commission, pursuant to re-
Quirements of Federal law, compels
a general revision of southern freight
rates, 1t is proper that the people
of the south should be informed as
to the reasons for this revision and
the principles upon which it is be-
ing made. .o
Excepting. the MOI folk & Western,
Chesapeake & Ohio and Virginian
railways, which lie in official classi-
fication territory, the railroads Of the
southeast receive virtually no part of
the FIVE per cent increase in rates re.
Gently acquiesced in by the Interstate
Commerce commission. While the
need of the carriers Of the south for
increased revenue is certainly no less
than is that of the northern and casts
ern roads, that need is In no way
related to the revision of rates now
in progress which arises solely from
the necessity Of more nearly con-
forming to the so called "long and
short haul clause" Of the law as
amended in 1910, and as now con
strued by the Interstate Commerce
commission.
The original act to regulate com
merce forbade the making of lower
rates for a longer than for a shorter
distance within the same line or route
under substantially the same cir
cumstances and conditions. The car
riers were free to meet competition
as they found 1t and were required
to answer only upon complaint as to
the reasonableness of their acts.
The amendment of 1910 deprived
the carriers of the right to initiate
departures from the long and short
haul requirement, and they may no
longer meet competition as they find
1t if the long and short haul re-
quirement of the law is involved, un-
less they can first obtain the approval
OF the Interstate Commerce COM
mission.
They were furthermore required,
by this change in the law, to apply
to the commission for authority to
continue in force rates existing at the
time of its passage which contravened
the long and short haul principle.
The existing rate structure of the
south is not the creation of traffic
managers of this generation. 1t is
an inheritance from those who built
the roads, and finds its explanation
largely in the geography of the south,
and in a public policy which en-
couraged its creation. The changes
now In progress are not of the car
riers' choice.
Water competition, the most i'm
portant factor in bringing about de-
parture from the long and short haul
principle of the law, has been pc,
