ing and important measure designed
to reorganize the railroad commits
sion of Georgia and make it self
sustaining is being drafted by sub
committee of the house Western and
Atlantic committee, headed by Rep
resentative Walter H. Beckham, of
Dougherty.
Under the provision Of the new
bill, the same members of the present
commission would retain their of
fices, no reduction in the number of

roads of the state would be taxed
on a mileage basis and the funds de
voted to the commission expenses

tect their rights and present their
side of any case.
Should the measure be passed, the
commission will be enabled to Jrave

titions and rate cases, a provision
being included to require the body
to have such 'learings at conven-
lent point. An amendment for this
provision was introduced by Mr.
Beckham, and has already been ap-
proved by most Of the committee.
Several attacks have been made on

threats of disruptine the body, the
fight has been very mild, aud the
lawmakers have come to conclusion
that it is a necessity; has protected

ions have shown-and must be con
tinued. Through the adoption of the
new measure, however, which will
be presented soon, a number of i'm
provements could be rGade.

MAYO ASSERST
ALBANY FAYORS
FEE SYSTEM
Statement Clears At
titude Of Dougherty
Man On Salaries
Times-Recorder Bureau,
Kimball House.

L
Kimball House.
ATLANTA, July &c. - With the
fight being waged to place all So
icitors-general in Georgia on a sal
airy basis, the introduction and pas
sage in the house Of a measure plac-
ing Solicitor B. C. Gardner, Of the
Albany circuit, on fee system basis
has caused considerable comment
throughout the state Representa-
tive Joe H. Mayo, Jr,, of Mitchell,
issued statement today m wnicn
he declared that a majority of the
voters in the circuit had expressed
themselves in favor of the change.
"In reference to the bill to change
the solicitor general Of the Albany
circuit from a salary to the fee sys-
TEN, more cxppiiaaifiisaa explain ion as to the rea-
son for it's introduction is doubt
less due the people" said the repre-
sentative. when this Identical iues-
tion was submitted to the voters of
the Albany circuit, they expressed
themselves by vote of approximate
ly three to one as favoring the fee
system for the office of solicitor gen
eral.
''In addition 10 this, since all other
county officers are on the Zee sys-
tenn, there is much confusion in the
matter of proper application Of fines
and forfeitures. 1'he salary system
would doubtless work satisfactory #
t1fn nd
county officials were put Oh tie same
basis.
"The same reason for keeping the
clerk Of the court upon the fee sys-
tenn, applies to the case of solicitor.
He is paid according to the service
he performs. If he does nothing, he
gets nothing.
Another objection to the present
plan is that the fiscal affairs of many
of the counties of the circuit are
such that they cannot pay their Tart
of the salary, and notwithstanding
the fact that the solicitor generals S
par of fines and forfeitures goes il to
the county treasury, he IS forced to
accept warrants, collecting them
when he can.
"This is the atate of affairs that
ought not to exist. If one officer
is to be put on salary, then all
should be treated likewise. This bill
is not being sponsored by myself
alone. but was Jointly introduces by
Mr.. Holmes, Mr.. Hines and Mr.. Grif-
fin, of Decatur county; Mr. Walker
of Baker; Mr.. Cowart, of Calhoun
and Mr.. Singletary, of Grady, being
supported by the representatives of
every county in the circuit" he 5aid5
Representative Walter II, Beck
ham stated that when the measure
had been brought to him practically
every one of the interested members
had signed it, and that it would have
been useless for him to have offer
ed any opposition. Owing to the
fact that the new system would re-
suit in the saving of funds to Dough-
erty county, he said that he had sup
ported its passage.

Of Being Exxterminated

Bahamas unless given greater protec-
ton, according to Harold H. Bailey,
who with three companions has re-

Mr. Bailey said he found the ma

although the colonial government has
a standing reward for information
leading to the arrest and conviction
of persons harming them, the slaugh-
ter continues.
