The railroad commissioners side with the railroads. Th* railroads and corporations control polities In Georgia; they are Instru mental In the election of governor.

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.
