tag 5 minutes of executive dellbera
tlon, the senate adjourned Friday un
til noon Monday. When some one In
advertently moved to adjourn until 11
o'clock Saturday a chorus of amend'
ments for Monday at noon came hurt'
ling up’to President West, and

„„ There haft been aome
discussion as you know, as to the legal
right of a representative to offer a bill
at one session which haa been paaned
upon at another session of the same
term. Pursuant to this conflict of
opinion, I deemed It proper to have the
opinion of the attorney general upon
the question. He gave me ss his opln.-
lon that It would be a legal and consti
tutional right for me to again offer
the bill Just read at this term. How
ever, Mr. Speaker, It Is not my Inten
tion to unnecessarily encroach upon
the time of thla house with another
lengthy discussion of the merits of thla
measure. Sven.If I so desired the two
or three hundred Mile ahead of It
would not give me the opportunity.
Again It would be useless to paee the
bill again In thla houee If the senate
still remains against It, aa they have
prominently evidenced by their vot.p-
at the last aeealon.
Teet For Senate Again.
“Hence the-friends of this child la
bor bill have decided that the eafeet
and moat practical policy to pursue
would be to teet the senate by a sim
ilar bill at this session and If that
body changes Its former attitude, then
when the same la sent to thU house
this bill which you have already acted
upon will be offered as a substitute.’’
Hot After Railroads.
House bill No. 9, by Mr. HalL of

Mr. Hall’s motion, the bouee went Into
a commltee of the whole to consider It.

Chargee Collusion.
’The amendment would do exactly
what wo don’t want. The railroad
commissioners side with the railroads.
The railroads and corporations control
politics In Georgia; they are lnatru<
mental In the election of governor. We
have really two partlea In Georgia, and
the railroad commissioners are true to
theirs. I think they are honest In their
views.

STREET CAR BOSS, PINCHED,
APPEALS TO HIGH COURT
Arrested and haled before the mayor
of Oakland City and fined 825 for vio
lating a city ordinance, T. K. Glenn,
rice president nnd general manager of
the Georgia Railway and Electric Com
pany, swore out an application for a
writ of certiorari Thursday afternoon
and the mayor In hie turn must ap
pear In court. The legal action Is the
outcome of an extended feud between
the suburb and the electric car com
pany.
The electric cars run through Oak
land city. In fact, citizens of the sub
urb complain that they run through
too often, falling to stop at crossings
for the convenience of the public and
otherwise annoying the passengers who
may happen to be In a hurry. They
nlso complain agnlnst the double
tracking or the route, though a form
er city council permitted this. Then
Mayor H. C. Beerman nnd the city
council levied a tax of $30u on nn ex

and the company refused to pay.
On May 30 the mayor discovered that
the poles used by the company wero Judge Pendleton.

sary to the successful carrying out nf
the beauty echeme. Accordingly the
poles were ordered removed, the ordi
nance providing that they were erected
subject to the pleasure of the council.
A notice to 'remove the poles waa served
on General Mansger Glenn. The poles
stayed where they were. They are
there still.
Then Mayor Beerman took action
He had General 3fanager Glenn ar
rented and when he appeared before
the court Mayor Beerman lined him

and announced hla appeal to the su
perior court.
Thursday afternoon 5!r. Glenn pre
sented a petition for a writ of certlo.
rarl. The circumstances of hla arffs
arn recited and he maintains that
was unjustly fined. He prays that
Mayor ll. c. Beerman be ordered to
nppear before the superior court nnd
make answer. A . writ commanding
Mayor Beerman to appear on tEe first
Monday In Boptembcr was Issued by
lllam A. Wright.
'I hope, gentlemen, that you will do-
feat this amendment.”
Perry and Hall Clash.
Mr. Perry, nf Hall, spoke In behalf
of his amendment, defending the work
of the railroad commissioners as arbi
trators In taxing railroads.
Mr. 1UII, of Bibb: “Will not the gen
tleman admit that public opinion forc<
ed the commissioners to do right last
year.”
Mr. Perry: “If public opinion forced
the commissioners to do right, I be
lieve It will next year and hereafter.
(Applause.) I understood the gentle
man from Bibb to aay yesterday that
we had an able, honest and most ef
ficient governor."
Mr. Hall: I'll admit the part about
the governor being honest.’* (Laugh
ter.)
"I have worked eight years for this
bill. I am oppoaad to tha govtmor an
ointing these assessors,” said fair,
tarry.
When the vote wae taken, a division
wae called, and resulted In the low of
the amendment by 62-61.
The committee of the whole reported
the bill back to the house with the
recommendation that It pans.
Perry Returns to Fray.
When the bill wae taken up by the
houee, 5!r. Perry, of . Hall, re-lntro-
duced hie resolution to amend the bill
to make the railroad commissioners
the assessors. Mr. Alexander, of De-
Kalb, spoke In behalf of It.
Honest But Misguided.
I do not think the railroad commis
sioners have the slightest Idea of the
function* of their office. I differ with
the commlsalonera on many points. I
think they have made many grave mis
take*. However, I concede to th* rail
road commissioners perfect honesty."
5!r. Hall cited an Instance of certain
alleged acts of the railroad commis
si r. Alexander: “Will you please
state who did that?”
Sir. Hall: ~I ain't railing any names;
th* records show It.”
Do Commissioners Loaf?
Mr. Alexander: "The commissioners
don’t spend one-flflh of their time In
their office. They have nothing to do,
they seem to think. They are permit
ting the people of Oeorgta to be taxed
unmercifully. I repeat, they seem to
have no conception of the duties of th*
office. 1 have no criticism to make
of the governor or any of the officials
of th* state. I merely say that th*
rallrdeda don’t know how to go at the
business of filing rate*. If the rail
road commissioners don't carry out the
duties of their office rightly, R will
soon be corrected.”
Gubernatorial Campaign Up.
Sir. Fi Ider of Bibb: T think this bill
hs originally drafted ahould pass. • • •
There Is a bitter campaign being waged
In Georgia today almost wholly on the
railroad commission. If these men wero
elected by the people of Georgia such
would not be the caso.”
Sir. Fynt of Spalding; T believe the
railroad commlsalonera do realise the
Importance of their office. 1 believe
they are honest and capable and there
I* no need for these other officials,
want to go on rcord aa being In favor
of the election of the railroad commis
sioners by ths people. • • • I believe
that whotver Is elected governor of
Georgia will make a good executive
head of thla state.”
Sir. JtalJ: "Will the gentleman aay
that the railroad commissioners have
been fair In fixing freight rat**?”
‘They may have erred, but I concede
to every man the right to his own
opinion. I might have done otherwise,
and I might have made a mistake,”
waa the reply.
Hall Talks 8traighL
Sir. Hall cam* back: “A campaign
haa been made In Georgia by a man
whose chief claim has been that the
railroad commissioners are corrupt or
Insincere. 1 don’t know who the gen
tleman from Hall la for, but I do know
that the very men In thla house who
are supporting this candidate are now
In favor of putting In the hands of
the commissioners this matter, and yet
they cay these commissioners ar* cor
rupt.”
Parry Demands Explantlon.
There was a lively tilt between Mr.
Hall and Mr. Perry, who jumped to
hla feet and cried:
Explain what you mean by that re
mark. Explain It, sir!”
”1 will explain. Those In opposition
to this measure are the very ones from
their supposed standing In the gover
nor's race I thought would vote for
It.” •
Does the gentleman from Bibb mean
it the gentleman from Spalding la
controlled by any railroad ring, clique
or candidate for governor?" asked Mr.
Flynt.
“I mean no such thing. The rail
road commission says ons thing and
does another.”
Str. Akin of Bartow: ’’Let the gen
tleman from Bibb be more specific In
his chargee.”
Mr. Hall: "Who’s specifier’
Mr. Wright of Floyd: "What haa th*
governor's rare got to do with this body
or our actions? I voted against thla
amendment before, but I will vote for
It now, a* I believe that th* people
who regulate th* rates on railroads
ahould also fix the taxes. Corruption
would then be Impossible. Taxes would
have to go up or freight rate*, down."
(Applause.)
Str. Flanders of Johnson: "I call
for the previous question."
Sir. Hardaman of Jackson: "I move
we adjourn.”
Th* motion to adjourn, which was
made at 12:46 o'clock, prevailed. Th*
houee will meet Saturday at 10 o'clock.
