GEORGIA HOAD MAY CHARGE 21-2 CENTS Railroad Commission Unanimously 1 Grante the Petition Asking Au-! thority to Raise the Rates From 2 1-4 to 2 1-2 Cents. After having had the case under consid eration for more thaji two weeks, the j railroad commission late Friday afternoon j granted the Georgia Railroad company , the right to increase its fare from 2 1-4 to 2 1-2 cents The change is effective No vember I,’ The votje on the changed rate was unan imous, arid the formal order was signed by Chairman W. W. Hill and Secretary Campbell, Wallace. Decisions were writ ten by all commissioners except Messrs. Stevens and - Gray. , It was only after several efforts that the petition of the Georgia railroad was granted. The application set forth that 2 1-4 cents per mile was unreasonably low; that the Central of Georgia, Atlantic Coast Line and other lines in competition were permitted to charge the higher rate. . OPINION Ob CANDLk.it. The following opinion of Commissionei ' Candler was handed down in the case: The Georgia railroad petitions the com- I miss on for permission to increase its I maximum passenger rate from 2 1-4 tc | .2 1-2 cents per mile, upon the following I 'grounds:; ‘ First. That the Central of Georgia, the Atlantic Coast Line and other roads serv ing the same territory are permitted to [charge 2 1-2 cents, while it is allowed to charge only 2 1-4 cents, and that this dis crimination is unfair: Second. That raid 2 1-4 cents, the maxi mum it is now allowed to charge, is un i-reasonably low and not fairly compcnsa,- Itory. /' I I do not believe the fi r st cround is At iall teraHe, and were the petlt'on baaed on.lt.alope, I should not hesitate, to. vote Ito deny ft. The commission Is required by law to flx tariffs for each road, in tha state, and these are fixed according to ths earning capacity, condit'ons and circum stances of each. Lawful and fair dis-, crimination la inferentially enjoined o.i the commission The Georg a railroad is not allowed to charge the same freight tariff ae the Central of Georgia, but it has never com plained of unfair discrimination in this respect. To the second ground upon which the petition is based. I have given months of pat’ent and searching investigation and ; consideration, and am forced to the. con- ' elusion that the maximum rate of' 2 .1-4 I cents is too low. ... - Prior to September 1. 19<*L the Georgia ’ railroad was allowed to charge a maxi mum passenger rate of 3 cents per mile. On that date the maximum was reduced ”5 per cent. 2 1-4 cents. This 2 1-4-cent rate has now been tn effect two years. The net operative earnings of the road for 12 mon’hs, ending August 31, 1906, were ' $763,316 84. For 1? months, ending August 31, 1947, ! were 2’35 683.57. For 1? months, ending August 31, 1908, were $4f6.1W.94. | For 12 mhnths. ending August 31. 1909, were 2569,3'0.29. An analysis of these earnings show that the gradual recovery of the nast two i years has been entirely in freight earn- I Ings and In th* reduction of operating | expenses generally. Its gross revenues from passenger fares for 12 months, ending August 31, 1906, were 1T5”,717.95. i For 12 months, ending August 31. 1907, . were 3774,500.23. For 12 months, ending August 31, 1908, | were 2*49,721.10. . . -- For 12 months, ending August 31. 1909. were 2714,315.56. A WELL SETTLED FACT. It is well settled that public utility cor porations are entitled to earn a fair re turn upon the present value of the proper- I ty devoted to the public service. From the evidence obtainable, I am satisfied that this property is today worth approxi mately 211,000,000. The most painstaking investigation into the operating expenses of the road has not show extravagance in its manage ment. The commission sent Its rate ex pert with an expert accountant to the of fice of the company in Augusta, and these two gentlemen made a careful ex amination and analysis of the books and accounts of the company and their report confirms the above statement. The ex penditures on account of maintenance and equipment are high, but not unreasonably so. as the road is being relaid gradually . with heavier rails, the road bed Is being • ballasted with stone and the equipment ! “ being brought up to date. Such erfpendl- t tures are to be commended in preference t to a distribution of earnings as dividends. ' There is need of better equipment and ( improved service on many of the railroads in this state, and so long as earnings arq J devoted to these purposes rather than to f dividends on watered stock and. bond is-1 1 sues, the commission should, in my opin e ion, in the interest of good and abundant service to the public, lend encouragement to such a policy. STEADY LOCAL PATRONAGE. I The Georgia railroad runs through an t eld settled portion of the state and en ij Joys a large and steady local patronage. It is also true that its volume of tnter n state passenger business is not as large g proportionately, as that enjoyed by such roads as the Southern, the Central, the l * Coast Line, the Atlanta and W’egt Point !_ and the Western and Atlantic. These roads enjoj> a larger percentage of inter- i . state passenger traffic, in which no reduc tion of rate has been made by law, than does the Georgia, and the reduction in interstate rates made by the commission in 1907, beyond question, affected the total volume of passenger revenue on the Geor gia railroad to a larger degree than on these roads having a larger percentage of interstate business. I feel sure that the business depression which has prevailed throughout the whole country during the greater part of the past two years, has had a large influence in bringing abqut the decreased passenger earnings of this and other roads, and it ■ is entirely probable that the return of j normal conditions now so nearly accom-' plished may stimulate and Increase travel' to such an extent that the loss of revenue i may be recovered, and this consideration has not been overlooked by me, but at the same time, considering the density of pop ulation along the Georgia railroad, as well as its character, I. have had, and have yet. outside of the actual evidence adduced in the hearings on this petition, grave doubts if at present a 2 1-4 cents maximum pasrenger rate for the Georgia railroad Is sufficiently compensatory. Upon these considerations and on the facts as developed by the commission aft er months of painstaking and thorough investigation. I feel compelled to vote in favor of granting this petition and allow-, ing the Georgia railroad to charge a maximum passenger rate of 2 1-2 cents per mile. C. M. CANDLER, Commissioner.

Fite has written another card concerning the Stegall case now pending in the United States district court before Judge Newman. This last com munication Is a reply to the collector of . internal revenue. A few days ago there came a statement from the collector’s office that Charles E. Stegall had not" been promoted with any intention of an gering Judge Fite, but that his advance ment was entirely independent of the Dade county superior court, having been practically passed up by the civil service department several days before Stegall’s arrest. . Judge Fite thinks that such a statement from the collector’s otiice is nothing short of making public the records of .that .of fice. “It is simply shameful,” he declares. Again, he threatens tl.at if the United States court should hold that Stegall may not be forced to testify, in violation of his oath of otiice, as to what is being manu factured at the Cureton distillery, he. Judge Fite, will nevertheless compel him j to answer other questions. His card fol- I lows in f 611: . WHAT HE SAYS. | "It is amusing, to say nhe least of it, how readily and willingly thos*. internal [ ' revenue officials tell the publje tow and , why Stegall was promoted, all of which is j a matter of record, when it .called upon to testify about it in a state court, tliey would refuse to do so, because it is a matter of record, and they can’t violate fheir. sacred oath of office. It is simply shameful. Why didn't they tell how and why Bfn Thompson was sent to take Ste gall’s place in aiding and abetting Cure ton in operating his government wild-cat distillery? It may be held that Stegall can't be forced to tell in a state court what is being manufactured at that dis tillery, but. If so, that will not end the matter, for there are many questions, lie gal questions, that can .and will be asked Rucker, Stegall and Thompson on the ( trial of Cui eton, and they will have to [ ansvyer them—every one' of them that is I legal. . -7 | "All their talk about getting certified copies of the records from is j for pqblic consumption. Solicitor General, Milner informs me that he applied to. Bucktr for certified copies of the records in his office, and that Rucker refused to furnish them, and of course the commis sioner of internal revenue at Washington could and would do the same thing. ‘What is a state court, anyway? But wait and see. All is well that ends well. "A. W .FITE.’” HORSE SHOW OPENS ON TUESDAY WEEK The horse show onehs a week from Tuesday and closes the dates be ing October 19, 20, 21 and 22.

THE SEMI-WEEKLY-JOURNAL —— - - ■ ■ NEW LINCOLN PENNIES HAVE REACHED ATLANTA Last Issue Does Not Bear the Initials of Designer and the Penmotl Are in Great Demand —All Owners of Pennies Bearing Initiali Are Holding Them in Hopes That They Will Some Day Be Veryf Valuable. Savers of odd coins are again busy a new Lincoln penny has just made its appearance from the government mint. The new series dose not bear the initials of the designer, experts having recently handed down an opinion that it is against the banking laws for money to bear the ‘ Initials of the designer. As soon as the new penny made its ap pearance in Atlanta, there was a rush for. them that eclipsed the mad dash sot | the first Lincoln pennies that reached the I city, ‘.while many began collecting the I first issue. The national banks that first received the new pennies were besieged I by newsboys who wished quarters, dimes and nickels changed into pennies. As ] i the seeksers bf the- new pennies were blocking the business of the bgnk very few of them were accommodated. When the first series of the Lincoln • pennies nf.ad<- their appearance several months it wm a matter of imposi bility for custom its to get anywhere near i the paying tellers at the, Lowry and At- j lanta National banks for the many youngsters that were making strenuous; efforts to get hold of a handful of the , shining, new pennies. Immediately aftei getting a few of tne n®w pennies the youngsters would go out on the streets' and sell them for ten cents each. In this way many newsFxrys made more by sell ing pennies than they could hope to make I by selling the papers. i Many are seeking »he latflst addition of | the Lincoln series • in an effort to sell them for a big profit, while all who have the Lincoln penny with the initial of the ea»MssneeenismMMgMeahMSMMmemw^Mrons*MMMM«^M»»msemuimmiMMaw^M^m^»ha————s—■■■MlWhl Wrhefonhe Han tliitSavesYou Money $2.50 A Month Kimball OrganJpM AT FACTORY PRICES | IHIRH DAYS’ FREE IB jO|jK|| Free Music Instructions By Our New Diagram System f With Which Anyone Can Learn to 1?
