THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. ATLANTA. GEORGIA, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 12 t 1909.
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.

JUDGE FITE SMS
"IT ISSHAMEFUL”
In Another Card on the Stegall
Case, He Anticipates Decision of
United States Court on Revenue
Case.
Judge A- W. 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

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

sioner of internal revenue at Washington

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. It will be"
the first event of the kind held in the
auditorium-armory, which is , peculiarly
fitted for it. The elliptical arena will be
in excellent view from any quarter of
the house, ♦f'hls.year there are no espe
cially good boxes. AJ! are equally good,
and buyers have pondered as to the loca
tion which they particularly desired. The
same Is true of seats. There are no posts
In the building and every seat holder will
be in postilon to observe every minute
movement in the ring.
The central location.- of the auditorium
armory assurei unprecedented crowds. In
the past the trip to Piedmont park has
deterred many horse lovers from attend
ing the horse show. This year they will
be able to,take oars from any section of
the city, reach the auditorium in a few
.minutes and after the show they win be
Quickly and comfortably transported to
their homes. „
• 'ln addition to the display of horses in
the ring and the general air of social bril
liancy which always adds so greatly to
the atraction of the horse show, the di
rectors have this year provided a great
popular attraction for each performance.
The young ladies’ rough rider drill for
the 2300 diamond brooch offered by Schaul
& May, which made such a hit last year,
will be repeated and will again be led by
Mrs. John Hill.
The tilting contest between teams from
fo>ur troops of state cavalry will prove an
exciting qnd interesting event. Officers
of the United States cavalry stationed at
Chickamauga will show Atlanta some
thing new for this Section in the shape
of a polo match, and a team of the picked

FRACTURES AND
' POISONING MAKE HIM
BAD LUCK LEADER
CHICAGO, Oct. 11.— L. T. Freeman, for
several years connected with the Com
monwealth Electric company, and who
claims the hard luck championship of
Chicago, was the guest at a farewell din
ner tendered in his honor this evening.
Mr. Freeman will take up his residence
in Ohio. He Is the son of A. A. Freeman,
formerly attorney general for the postof
fice department. Within three years Mr.
Freeman has been “up again it” in the
following manner:
March. 1906—Nose and ribs broken in a
runaway accident at Santa Cruz.
May, 1907—Left arm broken in a fall in
Dayton, Ohio.
June, 1907—Attacked by ptomaine poi
soning in Washington, D- C.
July 3, 1907—Leg broken, hip fractured
In a wreck on the Washington, Arlington
and Falk railroad.
July, 1908—Arm broken in a Chicago
street car accident; leg again broken.
October, 1908—Fell down a flight of iron
stairs and picked up for dead.
1908—Confined in the Wesley hospital
suffering from blood poisoning.
Recently recovered from a severe sec
ond attack of ptomaine poisoning.
To cap the climax Mr. Freeman was a
sufferer in the great San Francisco fire |
and earthquake.
SUPPOSED INCENDIARIES
TRY TO DESTROY STORE
Fire bugs, according to the belief of
Mr. J. J. L. Poole, attempted to burn his '
grocery store on South Pryor street, I
early Sunday morning, and were only I
prevented from doing so by the timely ,
discovery of the blaze.
Smoke was seen issuing from the bot- '
tom of the building, about 4:30 a, m.. by '
a passerby, and investigation showed
that a number of sacks, soaked in kero- j
sene oil had been piled beneath the build
ing and lighted. In two or three minutes i
the floor would have caught and it would
have been difficult to save the building.
As it turned out. little damage was done.

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

There was only a limited number of the

mint and they may some day be very val
uable as a curiosity.
At the time of the first ;issue of the
Lincoln penny there was much discussion
as to whether it was against uie banking .;1
laws to have the initial of the designer , i
on the coin. At first it was stated "hat ’
all nennies with the initials on them
had Teen called, but this was later denied. ; ; ;
But, nevertheless, up more pennies wsh
the initials were issued after the first
supply was turned out of the/mint. ’

issue of the penny is somewhat thinner-1” ‘‘
