Mr. Hull'* Measure Against the
ItnllrouU I’aaa.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 14.—There was reform
gu'ure ill the House to-day. Some of the
members who spent Sunday at home
came back loaded for bear, or .'Oil]., thing
etill bigger.
Mr. McFarland, the Populist member
from Franklin county, who is the suc
cessor of old man MoDay, the most pic
turesque figure of the last House, led the
procession. He started the ball a robing
■with a series of three bills designed to
reorganise things in general in connection
with the state government. His bills cut
down the salaries of every one of the
State house officers except the attorney
general, school commissioner and commis
sioner of agriculture, and these were prob
ably an oversight, which will tie rectified
by the member from Franklin as soon as
he has his atientlon called to it.
Under his reform bills, the Governor is
to receive the magnificent salary of *2,200
a year, the Justices of the Supreme Court
the same, while tho Judges of the Superior
Courts are granted $1,500 per annum, with
which to sustain their judicial dignity. The
controller general, treasurer and secretary
of state are allowed $1,500 each. Mr. Mc-
Farland Is considerale enough of the pres
ent administration, however, to enter a
proviso in his bills making the reductions
non-applicable to the present Incumbents.
It goes without saying that all Ihe bills
of the member from Franklin will pass—
that is, pass the honey a rd.
But for the fact that the bills came from
e Populist representing a Republican
county, they would lie regarded as a joke
by the author. But as It is, the joke is
on the author, who is likely to grow grey
waiting for his pets to emerge from the
committee room.
Mr. Hall of Bibb was responsible for
the other star “reform” bill. Mr. Hall
ia an uncommonly large man. He is large
in physique. He is also barge in brain,
and being an ex-railroad attorney of rec
ognized standing, some of his colleagues
think he should have known bettor. Com
ing from most any other man his bill
might have been taken as a joke also.
But being fathered by the dignified mem
ber from Bibb the proposition to pro
hibit the railroads from granting free
passes to members of the legislature and
other officeholders must be taken serious
ly. Mr. Hall declares he is deeply in earn
est. He Intends to press the bill, and with
such a big, able-bodied, ableheaded man
behind It, there is no telling what will hap
pen to this old friend of the reformers.
Mr. Hall’s bill goes further than the rail
roads and their free passes. It takes in
telegraph and express companies, as well,
ns the sleeping car companies, and not
only prohibits them from granting free
passes to any person holding a position
in the state service, but also denies them
the right to give these persons a special
rate not given (o other citizens of the
state, under penalty of SI,OOO line for each
offense.
Mr. Hall has got an ace up his sleeve
for the railroads. It seems in addition to
the anti-free pass bill of to-day he has
also introduced several other measures
that have brought the railroad attorney’s
hustling to the capitol lobbies. It might
appear at the first glance that the man
who passed a law taking away from the
railroads the privilege of granting free
passes would be the devoted friend of the
roads, but those who know the Ins and
outs of the situation do not see it in this
light. They say that the railroads would
rather reduce passenger faros than to re
linquish the privilege of giving away
transportation, when they want to give it
away. Of course, as stated, Mr. Hall
comes to the legislature quite fresh from
a big railway attorneyship. He might,
therefore, be regarded as the best equip
ped man on the floor as a railroad pica
dore. At any rate his banderillas have
eo far been aimed with a skill that causes
the railroads to wonder what may come
next.
Congressman George T. Barnes of Au
gusta is to address the legislature next
Thursday evening on the subject of the
Nicaragua canal. A joint resolution ex
tending him the invitation was passed by
the House to-day at the request of Mr.
Calvin of Richmond. Mr. Barnes will
argue that the canal should be built and
owned by the United Slates.
Among the visitors to the capitol to-day
was Col. J. H. Estill of Savannah, who
came up in response to a letter from Gov.
Candler to take part In a discussion of
state finances with a number of prominent
citizens and officials from various parts
of the state. Col. Kstill was extended the
courtesies of the House by resolution in
troduced by Mr. LaKoche, and during a
portion of the session he occupied the
seat of Mr. McDonough, that gentleman,
and also his colleague, Mr. McMillan, be
ing detained in Savannah for the day.
The controversy over the condition of
the state treasury and the cause of the
apparent deficit, brought out to-day a res
olution from Mr. Calvin of Richmond, call
ing upon the state school commissioner
for a statement showing in detail the
workings of the school appropriations.
The resolution will be acted upon to
morrow, and under the rules asks for the
following information:
The aggregate amount of the slate school
fund for the years 1822 and 1824, respective
ly
What amount of this fund was a direct
appropriation?
What amount (if any), accrued to this
fund each of the years named from the
tax levy on property in excess of $475,-
000,000?
What amount was apportioned each
year to the several counties?
What per cent, of the net amount appor
tioned to the several counties was paid to
teachers?
What length of school term did the fund
operate?
Same facts as to the years 1895 and 1896
In order, showing also the amount which
accrued from tax levy on property in ex
cess of $129,000,000?
What was the amount of the aggregate
fund in 1897?
What the net amount apportioned?
What the length of the school term?
What the aggregate amount for 1898?
What the nel amount apportioned?
What the length of school term?
Mr. Calvin expects that the production
of this Information by the state school
commissioner will go to show that the
trouble with the state finances was
brought about by the change In the meth
od of paving off the teachers of the com
mon schools. The school appropriation is
looming up as the great issue of the ses
sion. It has already divided the House Into
factions—one in favor of the reduction and
the other fighting to have it remain where
It it. In the latter side Mr. Blalock and
tils followers, who are proud t p be called
reformers, are ranged. They claim ihut
the school appropriation did not cause the
muddle in the treasury as specific tax

“ Up to the time when I had the grip I
was a strong, healthy man. After that I
had no appetite and was not able to
rest well at night. I decided to try
Hood’s Sarsaparilla and purchased a sup
ply. It has done me a vast amount of
good. I have a good appetite and can
sleep well.” Joseph M. Wakdlaw,

“I have found Hood’s Sarsaparilla in
valuable for purifying the blood and loss
of appetite. It cures all eruptions and
makes me feel better in every way.”

levy, was made to meet the increase and.
therefore, the funds appropriated were
raised. If there is a deficit they claim
that it is due to extravagance In other de
partments. The school appropriation
ought to remain where it is, (hey argue,
and if it ia necessary to raise taxes to
keep It there they say the people will
not kick. All the people want is to know
that their mopey is being properly spent.
On the othbr band those who are ad
vocating a reduction of the school fund
and a revision of the pension lists as a
means—the only means—of bringing the
expenses within the income without rais
ing taxes, charge that selfishness is be
hind the opposition to the curtailment of
these appropriations. They point to the
fact that nearly 100 of the 127 counties of
the state draw more money out of the
state treasury in pensions and school mon
ey than they put Into it in taxes. A re
duction of the tribute paid by the balance
of the state to these counties, while an
increase in the tax rate would have only
a negatively onerous effect upon them.
Thus it seems that It is going to be
a fight of the self-supporting and revenue
producing counties against those who do
not pav their own way. The latter have
the majority, and if the line can be drawn
tight enough they will win out.
Mr. Swift’s bill, requiring (hat the
weight be stamped on all hales of cotton
seed offered for sale in this state, was
passed. ~ ,
Dr. Calvin’s bill levying a penalty of
$lO upon ministers- failing to return mar
riage licenses within thirty days after is
suance, was also passed. Another 1)411 by
the same author abating rent when the
tenement is destroyed by tire or othet
cause, was killed. The bill was defeated
because members urged that It would have
a tendency to encouarge arson.
Among the bills read the first time were
the following:
By Mr. McFarland of Franklin—A bill to
prohibit the Attorney General of Georgia
from receiving any fees other than Hits
salary for services in the Supreme Court
of the United States or elsewhere.
By Mr. Dews of Randolph—A bill to re
quire owners and keepers of dogs to reg
ister them and to pay a license tax on
each dog owner kept; to provide a method
of collecting the tax and a punishment for
failure to register or to pay the tax after
registering said dogs.
By Mr. Calvin—A bill to authorize the
Council of Augusta to change the loca
tion of the dam now extending across the

By Mr. Johnson of Barton—To amend
section 974 of volume three of the code so
as to give the state and the defendant an
equal number of peremptory challenges.
By Mr. Willingham of Monroe—A bill to
make an appropriation for the counties of
Monroe, Bibb, Clarke and Chatham of the
direct tax refunded to the state which
was never paid out to the citizens of said
ccuntles that were entitled thereto, and to

said counties. Referred to committee on

Mr. Tatum of Dado introduced a resolu
tion providing for a committee of three
from the House and two from the Senate

It was laid on the table.

urer and controller general of the state s

ance on Nov. 1, 1898, of $167.<M0.11, and bal
ances in depositories of $275,030.70. Con
troller Wright’s report showed a cash bal
ance of $74,744.84. A difference of $200,000
in the two reports on this item is due
tOi the temporary loan of that sum not
included in the controller's report. The
controller showed undrawn appropriations
of $1,677,744.25 on that date.
Mr. Nesbitt introduced a bill In the Sen
ate this morning giving all the fees aris

-Special Message to Tills Knd and
so for a Revision cf the Pension
List to Re Sent to the Legislature.
Decision Results From a Confer
ence With Prominent Citizen* of
the Stnt Go v. Candler Empha
sized His Position in the Matter.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 14.—Gov. Candler will
send a special message to the legislature
within the next few days recomending
a decrease of s4fX>,ooo in the common school
fund and a revision of the pension list
that will reduce the pensions to an indi
gent basis and thereby cut down the
amount now necessary to meet the claims
which amount in the aggregate to $750,000
annually. •
The Governor announced his determina
tion to make these recommendations at
a conference of legislators, state officials
and prominent citizens held at the ex
ecutive mansion to-night. The conference
was called by Gov. Candler several days
ago to consider the condition of the
state’s finances. There were in attendance
the presiding officers of both branches of
the general assembly, the chairman of
the finance committee and appropriations
committee of the Senate, the chairmen of
the ways and means and appropriations
committee of the House, the chairmen of
the pension, education and penitentiary
committees of both houses, besides a
number of leaders, including Blalock of
Fayette and Swift of Elbert.
The “Reformers’* of the last legislature,
State Treasurer Speer, Controller Wright,
were there also, together with citizens in
part as follows: Cbpt. T. J. Davis of Al
bany, Col. N. J. Hammond of Atlanta,
ex-Gov. W. J. Northen, ex-Gov. McDaniel,
Hon. J. M. Smith of Oglethorpe county,
Col. J. H. Kstlll of Savannah, Judge C. C.
Kibber of Griffin, Hon. Ed Brown of Ath
ens, Judge Fite of Cariersville, Col. E.
P. Howell of Atlanta, Horg F. G. dußig
non of Savannah, Hon. Clark Howell of
Atlanta.
Speaker Little opened the discussion by
a presentation of the situation which
showed that the state will have a virtual
deficit on July 20, next, of $484,000. Re
viewing the history of it, he said it began
in ’93 when the tax returns began to fall
off. In ’95 SIBO,OOO was appropriated for
pensions after the tax rate had been fixed.
In 1896, $400,000 was added to the school
fund over his protest as chairman of the
House finance committee. The appropria
iions had kept getting ahead of the reve
nue until now Its was a question of In
creasing the tax rate or of cutting down
the appropriations. He declared that he
was in favor of the latter course and
would so vote in the legislature. Speeches
on the same line were made by ex-Gov.
McDaniel and Northen, by J. B. Park of
Green county, Col. J. H. Eslill of Savan
nah, Capt. T. J. Bell, representative from
Forsythe, Col. Hammond and others.
In his talk Gov. Northen stated that
there was undoubtedly grave frauds In the
pension department, but they could not be
prevented under the present system. It
the legislature could devise anew system
that would weed out the fraudulent pen
sioners, the appropriations would be great
ly lessened. He also, in advocating the
reduction of the school fund, declared that
If tho law was traced and the money ap
plied only to teaching the elementary
branches as stipulated in the constitution,
the cutting off the $400,000 would not les
sen the length of the term nor work an
injustice in any direction.
Mr. Park of Green county made the
point that the Democratic party hail
pledged itself not to Interfere with the
pension or school funds in the recent cam
paign, but Gov. Candler disposed of this
point summarily in his short talk con
cluding the meeting.
"There was a Democratic candidate for
Governor,” he said, “who declared he
would bankrupt the treasury before he
would reduce the school or pensions, but
there was another candidate who said he
had been a school boy and a school teach
er and knew their needs and conditions,
but he would not bankrupt the treasury
for the school’s sake. He had also been
a soldier and was wounded, and was In
favor of pensioning every old Confederate
that needed it, hqt yet he would not bank
rupt the treasury for the old soldier. He
would not do it because the old soldier
would not nsk it, and it would not hr
right. It was this latter candidate,” con
cluded the Governor, “who was indorsed
at the polls. I take my election as the ap
proval of my people of the views I ex
pressed, and, therefore, I am ready now
to say that I am in favor cutting both
the school fund and the pensions, rather
than bankrupt the treasury. The time
has come to assume the responsibility of
such an act and I am willing to meet it.
1 shall ask it of the legislature and I be
lieve the people will uphold you in your
act when you do It.”
The conference appeared to be practi
cally a unit in support of the proposition
to reduce pensions and the school fund
and Gov. Candler’s message making such
recommendslions will go In a few days,
sure to receive hearty approval. It will
not be enacted into law, however, with
out opposition, for the lines have been
drawn for a fight by the Blalock reform
ers who will not admit the necessity for
cutting the school funds.
