HARRIS AGAINST IT.

The people Of Georgia are indebt-
ed to Senator Harris for the part he
took in killing the Poindexter amend
ment to the act TO regulate COM
merce. Senator Harris worked hard
to kill the amendment and voted
against it when the time came to
do so.
The absolute enforcement of the
long and short principle of the fourth
section of the act to regulate COM
MERGE as contemplated by Senator
Poindexter, would have demoralized
and disrupted commercial conditions
in many cases to such an extent as to
totally destroy large investments.
Commerce has developed and large
factories have been established under
the system of rates existing for many
years, predicated on competitive
transportation conditions, in some
cases on account of water transporta-
ton, in others on account of market
competition, and still in others on
account of water competition and
market competition.
Particularly are these conditions
true as to the Southeast, where the
territory nigh. be considered an is
land, bounded on the east and south
by the Atlantic ocean ard the Gulf Of
Mexico, on the west by the Missis-
sippi river, on the north by the Ohio
and Potomac rivers, pierced by num-
erous streams, navigable for great
distances into the interior. Owing to
these natural transportation facilities,
industries have been developed and
trade established and adjusted on
system of rates influenced by water
competition.
The absolute enforcement Of
senate bill No. $50, known as the
Poindexter bill, would Lave destroy
ed the natural advantages existing on
account of water competition and
would have required the rail lines to
increase their rates between COMPETE
tive points to be not less than to and
from the intermediate points, or the
carriers could have adopted the al
tentative of leveling rates to and
from the intermediate points to be
not higher than to and from the COM
petitive points. The latter method
we do not believe the carriers could
have afforded to have adopted, as to
have done SO would have depleted
their revenue, which they could not
have stood. Therefore it is natural
to suppose that the former would
have been adopted if the proposed
bill had been enacted.-Savannah
