To the Public.

To the Public.
l am candidate for reelection to
the office Of Railroad Commissioner
for the First Supreme Court District
Of Mississippi. and ! frankly solicit
your support and influence in my be
half in the pending campaign.
The present Railroad Commission
raised the assessments Of the Rail
roads the first, the second, the third,
the fourth, the fifth. and the sixth
years Of its term, and the Railroads
are now paying the State about a mil
lion dollars more every year, in the
shape Of increased taxes, than ever
before.
In one vote alone, we reduced the
freight rates on 116 commodities, and
later made special rates on corn, hogs,
cows, hay, molasses, peas, milk and
cream, cabbage, canned fruits and
vegeta bles, and all sorts OF vegetables
not canned, as we'll as sand and gray-
ell, ground lime stone, and many other
similar things which do not recall
At this time.
The business which will come be-
fore the next Railroad Commission
for settlement, will transcend in i'm
portance and far reaching effect any
matters which have ever been consid-
cred by the Commission.
The question of the proper assess'
ment OF the Railroads, as important
as 1t has been,-will pale into absolute
insignificance by comparison with the
matter of the revising and re-adjust-
ing of the entire freight rate struc'
/ ture.
Last year, the United States Gov
eminent raised the freight rates on
nearly everything from twenty-five to
one hundred per cent, and. during the
period Of the war, the public has been
paying the highest freight charges
ever known.
The war is over now, and II Is going
+ to be necessary to revise and re-adjust
all of these high war freight rates, tc
meet peace conditions.
II you should elect man for your
Railroad Commissioner who Is with
out experience OF any sort In tht
handling Of freight rate matters,-ont
who knows nothing in the worlC
about freight rates, and who, II hi
ever learns anything about them, viii
have to learn 1t after he is elected
to the office,-and learn It at time
when YOU need a man with knowledge
and experience, instead OF ine1pe
rience, you are likely to pay prett!
dearly for what your Commissions
does not know, and keep on payinl
too, for the four years OF his term
That will be time when you vii
need, and have a right to expect from
your Railroad Commissioner action
yes, prompt, vigorous, intelligent an
efficient action, II he is to properl
safeguard your interests, which yo
will be paying him to do.
II you were to send for doctor TO

FOR RAILROAD COMMISSIONER

something about the business. Can
you afford to vote for man who has
to learn about rate matters, or do you
prefer one who already knows and is
ready. willing and qualified to act
without delay?
Don't you ever lose sight of the fact
that your next Railroad Commissioner
Will have very weighty questions to
deal with, so far as you are concerned.
Director General, Walker d. Hines,
OF the Railroad Administration, in his
testimony before the Interstate Com.
merce Committee of the United States
Senate, Said that "The rate structure
does not cease to have effect, until it
is changed by orderly procedure" His
theory is that the action Of the Rail-
road Administration In advancing in.
tra-state rates will endure, after the
cessation OF Federal control, until af.
firmatively changed by local authori-
ty; In short that the rates imposed
by the government WILL INURE
TO THE BENEFIT OF THE OWN
ERS OF THE RAILROADS when the
acts and orders OF the Railroad Ad.
ministration have become functus OF.
ficio.
So that, II the next Railroad Com.
mission does not want to lower the
present high war freight rates, all 1t
will have to do will be to do nothing,
and the rates put In force by the gov
eminent will remain in force, and the
people will keep on paying, and pay.

and inefficiency OF a green and mex

they will be without a remedy.
Before you vote for any man fol
