appoint individual primary elections in which each
of the county can have a voice
in saying who shall represent them in the
federal and state offices to he filled this

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
or THE GEORGIA STATE AU.IAKCE MAKE
AW INTERESTING REPORT.
The committee of three, Livingston,
Brown and Pope, made the following re
port on thc policy of the Georgia State
Alliance as to the enforcement of that
clause of the constitution relating to cor¬
porations M remaining competitive;
Lerkas 1 Paragraph 4, Sec. 2 Art. 4
of the constitution of Georgia declares:
•The general assembly of this State shall
have no power to authorize any con,ora
tiou to buy shares or stock in any other
corporatiou iu the State or elsewhere, or
to make any contracts or agreements
whatever with any such corporation
which may have the effect, or be intended
to have the effect, to defeat or lessen com¬
petition in their respective businesses, or
to encourage monopoly; and su -h con¬
tracts aud agreements shall l>e illegal and
void." *
Your committee respectfully suggest
the enforcement of the above constitu¬
tional clause in its full ami original intent;
to-wit: That corporations shall remain
competitive, eaiitii-s, not for given points or 1<>
but for the whole people ami ihe
interstate entire-state; ami that the jKiwers of the
ami state railway commissions
be so enlarged as tliat they may co-oper¬
ate one with the Other iu regulating clas¬
sifications and rates, ami the warehouse
features of railway ears and depots. Aud
these regulations should he based ui>on a
reasonable cost of construction, equip¬
ment and running of roads, and not upon
w atered stocks or high prices paid fot
stocks for purposes of consolidation and
control.
Railroads must i-ec-ogtiize the interest
and rights of the people in chartered cor¬
porations, be and the laws of the State should
such as to empower the railroad com¬
mission to enforce the same, and the com¬
mission should be made to do its whole
duty in the premises.
