floor. He raid In part:
"The gentleman from Hall could not
better kill than by securing tha pass
age of such an amendment.
* Charges Collusion.
“The amendment would do' exactly
what we don't want. The railroad
commissioners side with the railroads.
Th* railroads and corporations control
polities In Georgia; they are Instru
mental In the election of governor. We
have really two parties In Georgia, and
the railroad commissioners are true to
theirs. I think they are honest In thslr
views.
"Every time the comptroller general
has attempted to get Juet taxes from
the railroads, the commissioners aa ar
bitrators have cut It down. The ap
pointment of these men should be with
William A. Wright.
"I hope, gentlemen, that you will de
feat this amendment."
Perry and Hall Clash.
6lr. Perry, of Hall, spoke In behalf
of hla amendment, defending the work
of the railroad commissioner* as arbi
trators In taxing railroads.
Mr. HalL of Bibb: "Will not the gen
tleman admit that public opinion forc
ed the commissioner! to do right last

Mr. Parry; "It public opinion forced
the commissioners to do right, I be
lieve It will next year and hereaftsr.
(Applause.) I understood the gentle
man from Bibb to say' yesterday that
we had an able, honest and most ef
ficient rovemnr."

Parry Returns to Fray.
When the bill was taken up by the
house, Mr. Perry, of Hall, re-lntro-
duced hla resolution to amend the bill
to make the railroad commissioner*
the assessors. Mr. Alexander, of De
Kalb, spoke In behalf of It.
Honast But Misguided.
"I do not think the railroad commis
sioners have th* slightest Idea of the
function* of their office. I differ with
the commissioner* on many point*. I
think they have mad* many grave mis
takes. However, I concede to th* rail
road commissioners perfect honesty."
Ur. Hall cited on Instance of certain
alleged acta of the railroad commis
sion.
Mr. Alexander; "Will you please
state who did that?"
Mr. Hall: "I ain't calling any names;
the records show It."
Do Cemmissionsr* Leaf?
Mr. Alexander; "The commissioner*
don’t spend one-fifth of their time In
their office. They have nothing to do,
they neem to think. They are permit
ting th* people of Georgia to be taxed
unmercifully. I repeat, they aeem to
have no conception of th* duties of the
office. I have no criticism to maks
of ths governor or any of th* officials
of lb* state. I merely say that tha
railroads don’t know how to 90 at tbs
business of fixing ratas. If the rail
road commissioners don't carry out the
duties of their office rightly. It will
soon be corrected."

APPEALS TO HIGH COURT
Arretted and haled before the mayor
ot Oakland City and fined 325 tor vio

vice prealdent and general manager of
the Georgia Railway and Electric Com
pany, twore out an application for a
writ of certiorari Thursday afternoon
and the mayor in hit turn mutt ap
pear In court. The legal action It 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 crossing*
for the convenience of the public and
otherwise annoyjpg the passenger* who
may happen to be In a hurry. Th#*\
also complain against the doublo
tracking or the 1 route, though a form
er city council permitted this. Then
Mayor H. Q Boorman and the city
council levied n tax of |300 on an ex
press car operated through the suburb
and the company refused to pay.
On May 30 tho mayor (Uncovered that

A notice to remove the pole* was served
on General Manager Glenn. The poles

there still.
Then Mayor Reerman took action,
He had General Manager Glenn ar

"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,”
was the reply. s
Hall Talks Straight.
Mr. Hall came back: "A campaign
has been made in Georgia by a man

railroad commissioners are corrupt or
Insincere. I don't know who the gen

that the very men In this house who
