8 THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, AUGUST 12, 1913. d Suffers, a Scrapper who Can Scrap With the Very Best of Them. When the house was “kickin’ the Lip scomb tax bill aroun’ ’’ to the consum mate delight of the minority crowd of the ways and means committee, said kickin’ serving to remove every vestige of legislation embodied in the measure save the caption and the repealing clause there was one member of the majority who said he would just be ding-dinged if he would turn around and support the substitute when the others did in order to secure something that looked like a law for the senate to build on to That member was Representative G. L. Suggs, of Haralson .a dyed-in-the- wool farmer, who stood for the state board of equalizers or nothing. Such was his attitude in the committee room when the ways and means bunch was split several different ways and then some. Mr. Suggs commenced the fight there and he kept it up until the bill went to the house as he wanted it. He neither gave nor asked for quarter. He thought the people of Georgia should pay share ana share alike toward the upkeep of the state, and he told’ em so on the floor of the house when the big scrap was on. As was the case in the committee room, the gentleman from Haralson never let up but was always^ to be found in the midst of thfe hottest debate, fully able to take care of him self and the position he had maintained from the outset. As the saying goes he died at his post, theoretically of course, because he is still very much alive and is loaded for the enemy when the measure comes back from the senate loaded down with amendments The Senator from the Fifteenth Would Have Stuck to His Guns Cupid has a rough road to travel when dealing with the state senate. The little god of love seems to have made up his mind to appropriate the gallery of the senate as his special trysting- place. Daily here can be seen couples who appear more interested in each oth er than the question as to whether the act creating a board of commisioners of roads arid revenues for Dooly county shall be amended. All went well with the Cupid of the solons until Senator Smilh sat up and took notice. First he caused one of his fellow-members much embarrass ment by introducing a resolution call ing the attention of the senators to his juxtaposition to a bunch of sweet ness upstairs. Then Senator Allen took a hand. It was Friday morning. She had come into the gallery unnoticed by any save one. Forgetting his duty to his paper, this one deserted the press table and has tened to join her. They sat together, “side by side,” her eyes on his, his eyes on hers. Suddenly, the voice of the clerk boom ed out. Senator John T. Allen had in troduced a resolution of personal priv ilege. “Resolved,” read the clerk, “That Hon. Clark Howell, Jr., the distin guished reporter, be requested to come down from the gallery, report progress, and notify the senate if he desires to sit again.’’ All eyes turned upward. They saw a blue dress, a black hat, and two little hands held u$. to a pretty face. But she was alone. The recreant reporter had fled. / voted against tax reform, but they did it because they were honestly against the enactment of any such law.” Representative Henry J. Fullbright, of Burke, another recognized leader of the prohibition forces, expressed sur prise at his alleged party lineup and declared most emphatically that he was unable to see where one actaully ex isted. Leaders of the anti-wets p«**it to the fact that Representative R. N. Harde man, of Jefferson, a “wet” member, made a speech against and fought the very bill that is said to have been killed by the prohis. Pay Your Debts, Governor Tells State of Georgia That other legislatures have been spending beyond the state’s income and that it is the function of the present general assembly to pay up, is the way Governor John M. Slaton expresses Georgia’s financial condition. He compares the situation to a man who has 15 cents in his pocket and should dine off a ham sandwich instead of terrapin s'.ew and mince pie. Past legislatures have been making appropriations calling for a tax of 6 mills, he says, while the people have said that they do not want appropria tions calling for anything over a tax of 5 mills. "s “The only honest way is for the state to pay its debts,” says the gov ernor, “and under no temptation to spend more money than it takes-in. The example of the state is worth to its youth in character more than all the education of its schools and all the pa triotic ardor excited by its wars. I believe this legislature, composed of men who represent the honor and itegrity of the state, and having in their veins the blood of a Georgia ancestry, will measure up to the duties confronting them. Criticism is unfair until they have finished their labors.” Swift Has Distinction of 'Winning' First Tax Fight. Out of the welter of tax measures that have been introduced in the house during this session, but one has sur vived. Others were mercilessly killed in their attempt to reach the senate fer consideration. The credit for this rfoes to Repre sentative H. H. Swift, of Muscogee, who got his inheritance tax measure through in great style. Less than fif teen votes were cast against it. And it may be said in passing that Mr. Swift is one of the new members who never legislated before, though no one would be inclined to believe t^at he is new at the game after seeing him unwina on the floor of the lower assembly: He is an Alex Stephenj in size, to begin with, and not unlike the great statesman in a few other ways, which is no small distinction. The house long ago recognized ' his worth as a leader and his help is sought in all matters of vital interest to the state. He is a forceful speaker and quite the quickest at repartee, of which there is an abundance at all times. The gentleman from Muscogee is also one of the few men in the house who can command its attention at all times. Sincerity is is main assei, which coupled with good, hard common sense, would indicate that it is no more than natural that his bill passed by a tremendous majority while the others j were killed outright. Would Have County Boards Of Health to be Appointed The house committee on hygiene and sanitation has recommended for pas sage by substitute a bill providing for county boards of health, to consist of the county superintendent of- schools, the chairman of the board of commis sioners, the ordinary and one reputable physician. The board is to have charge of all health matters in its county. So much of the bill is obligatory. It has other optional features. Senator Sits in Gallery with Fair Companions. State senators can sit just anywhere they want to in the senate chamber, and they do. Some sit in others’ seats, others sit in the window, on the plat- iorm, on chairs. But there is one sena tor, he of the curly hair, who of late has begun to sit in the gallery. And he does not sit alone. This solon has the distinction of be ing one of the three bachelor senators. The other day he went to the seashore and returned with a liberal coac of sun burn. Thursday morning the sun burned senator was, as usual, in the gal lery, and he was not alone. They were very beautiful, liis three companions, .aid they regarded the senator with ador ing eyes. i In the midst of a debate Senator Smith offered a resolution: “That when the senator from the Fifteenth comes down from the gallery he shall be re quired to explain to this body whether .iis pink cheeks are occasioned by sun burn or blushes.” As a Commissioner of Drugs, Hollberg Thinks Broyles a Bear. 8he other day when the house was in an uproar over the passage of the drug commissioner bill which was event ually defeated, all sorts of arguments were brought forth pro and con. The i bill was for the stricter enforcement of the drug laws in regard to the sale of narcotics, stimulants and “dope,” and provided for an inspector to have juris diction over the sale of such medicines. Representative C. F. Hollberg, of the » Coweta delegation, led the fight against the measure and finally succeeded in , killing it. He declared such a law would be unconstitutional in that it was , class legislation. “Why,*’ 6aid Mr. Hollberg, “the bill would give the commissioner of drugs more power than the governor. If the people down in Savannah and elsewhere can’t .enforce their drug laws, let them get a Judge Broyles. He can do it.” Then He Voted With ! Outstretched Hand. When you don’t * hqar the question . put and don’t know what it is, why, asked to be excused from voting. That is the way Senator Fred Kea looks at it, and it would have been all right of Senator O. H. Elkins hadn’t looked at it the other way. The senate was voting on the passage of local bills Friday morning when one came up which amended the constitu tion so that the judge of the superior court of Bibb county got a raise in sal ary. In accordance with the rule the “ayes” and “nays” were called. So it was that Senator Kea, engaged in a very interesting conversation in the rear, was surpised to hear his name called. He asked to be excused from ■ voting. “I object!” shouted Senator Elkins, and the clerk had to state the question so the senator from* the Sixteenth could cast his vote. Representative Hardeman Had One Bill and Got it Passed. At the time that the comparatively new' general assembly of 1913-1914 con vened, Representative H. N. Hardeman, of Jefferson, was frank to admit that he had no special “fish to fry” so far as introducing bills were concerned and stated that he did not think he would have any to ser\d to the clerk’s desk during the present session. The days wore on, with adjournment sine die clearly discernible on the hori zon, and still the gentleman from Jef ferson refrained from the personal in troduction of any new matter. But at last he has broken his precedent and in less time than it takes to tell it his measure was introduced and passed by both houses. By this time it may have the governor’s signature. The attention of the legislature was called by Governor John M. Slaton to the new amendment to the federal con stitution providing for the election of United States senators by the people, and the suggestion made that immediate iction be taken in order to insure some means for filling a vacancy from Geor gia if one should occur. Mr. Hardeman immediately framed such a bill arvd introduced it. In an in credibly short time it was passed in the house, and unanimous consent being gained, was at once transmitted to the, senate, where its record speed remained unbroken and it galloped onward to the executive office. However shy Mr. Hardeman has been in the introduction of bills, he has been one of the busiest members of the house. A man of long legislative experience, level headed and true to his colors, his counsel and aid have been sought on questions of vital interest to the state and he has unflinchingly come to the support of his friends in debate on the floor and in the committee room. He was especially °ctive in the cause of tax reform and loyally supported Speaker Burwell’s administration mea sures amendatory to the general tax act. Not once has Mr. Hardeman been tried in the balance and found wanting. His colleagues will tell you that and tehy will tell you further that never will that time come. BREAK OFF RELATIONS Attorney and Comptroller Gen erals Exchange Hot Letters . in Final Break Pfrohi Leaders Deny Pact To Hamper Legislation Prohibition leaders of the house are wrought up over published reports to the effect that they had formed a pact to fight all so-called administration measures and the tax bills introduced : by Speaker Burwell. They are outspoken in their denials. Representative H. W. Hopkins, of Thomas, one of the staunchest prohibi tionists in the legislature, was indig nant that such a rumor should have found its way into the public print. “Had there been any lineup of the ©ro- his,” said Judge Hopkins, “I most cer tainly would have known it. There is no truth in the report and I am mortified to think it should have gained any credence. Some of the prohibitionists The Colored Vote Was Small, So the Watermelon Was Downed. In Augusta one does not vote for a councilman, he votes for a plough. He does not vote for a representative, but for a watermelon or a horse-shoe, not for a mayor, but for either a tree or a cake of soap. He does not vote by ballot, but by emblems. Such was the plea of Tom Loyless, editor of the Augusta Chronicle, when he appeared before the general judi ciary committee of the state senate the other day to oppose a bill which was favored by the three representatives from Richmond and the senator from that distrlot. Editor Loyless was against the clause in the bill which provides for the em blem ballot, said to be for the benefit for those who cannot read but who can understand the language of the tree, the horse-shoe, and the cake of soap The fact that the committee recom mended the bill and the clause for passage did not mitigate the humor occasioned by the exhibition of the official ballots on which the emblem system Is used. “Just look at this list of represen tatives and the emblems they select ed,” said Mr. Loyless. “Here is A. B. Apple, who very appropriately selected that sort of fruit for his picture. Bob Videtto chose a cow, but Bob’s mis fortune there were no milk-maids voting. This arm and hammer emblem of Passmore’s was all right, but evi dently nobody knew what it meant, for T. B. wasn’t elected. And just look who did get elected, the rabbit, the horse shoe and the ace of hearts. Of course people are going to vote for a horseshoe and a rabbit's foot, and the ace of hearts was the favorite over the ace of \diamonds.” (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) COLUMBIA, S. C., Aug. 11.—In a series of letters to Comptroller Gen eral Jones this morning Attorney Gen eral Peebles notifies him that all of ficial relations between the two offices will be broken off until the comptroller general shows a disposition to follow the legal advice of the attorney general in official matters and treats him with proper courtesy. One ofe the communications tells the comptroller general that the attorney general desires no intimations or sug gestions as to how the attorney gen eral’s office is to be run or the course of procedure to be folowed in testing the legality of the action of the comp troller general in rejecting the claim of $200 made by the attorney general for expenses during a recent Charles ton meeting. “Neither the attorney gen eral nor his office desires or wishes any intimations or stiggstions as to the conduct of himself or his department from one who occupies merely q clerical position in the state government,” says the letter. One letter asks the comptroller gen eral for a formal request and detailed specifications if he wants certain cor porations, which were reported by the comptroller general for faiBure to pay the license tax, prosecuted. Still another one of these communi cations says that if there is any “con fusion” in the matter of correspondence between the two offices it is in the office of the comptroller general. Th'e fight betwen th office of Comp troller Jones and Assistant Attorney General Dominick has been raging for sometime. hour Killed, Five Mortally Injured. When Car Hits Train (By 'Associated Press.) POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., Aug.' 11.— Speeding forty miles an hour a motor handcar, laden with track laborers, crashed into a freight train on the Cen tral of New Jersey railroad, near Pleas- ont Valley, today.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Aug. 11.— This is the last day under tlfe alien land act passed by the late legisla ture, on which Japanese, either as in dividuals or corporations, may acquire land in California. Individuals now holding land may continue to do so during the natural life,, but may not devise it to Japan ese heirs. Corporations formed before the law goes into effect tomorrow may hold land for 50 years. A number of such corporations have recently been recorded. HEAT IN MIDDLE WEST CAUSING SUFFERING KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 11.—Reports of suffering from heat and drouth in Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma reached here in greater numbers today than at any time since the period of intense heat set in nearly a week ago. Cities and towns over the three states, and especially in Kansas, are harassed for want of water. Several towns are ship ping in their water by freight. In oth ers low wells have caused disease. Reports of burned crops come from all sections and in some of the districts hardest hit the impossibility of laying by a winter’s feed for live stock prom ises to prolong the sufferings. Indications today were that yester day's maximum temperature, ranging from 98 to 110 would be equaled before nightfall. Inequalities in Georgia hreight Rates Righted by Interstate Commission Attorney Edgar Watkins Reviews for The Journal Far- reaching Decision of Interstate Commerce Commission, Which Lifts a Burden of Unjust Freight Rates From Many Georgia Towns and Means a Vast Deal for State's Com mon Business Interests Edgar Watkins, of the firm of Wat kins & Latimer, attorneys for the Car rollton chamber of commerce, in its ap peal for fairer freight rates, has fur nished The Journal, at its request, the following statement concerning the re cently announced decision of the inter state commerce commission on this im portant and far-reaching case: “The decision of the interstate com merce commission in the case of the board of trade of Carrollton against the railroads of the southeast, is one of far- reaching importance. “It is a step,, and a long one, towards the successful culmination of the efforts began in Georgia in 1906, to secure an equitable system of rates in this state. “When the Georgia commission decid ed some years ago that Georgia was en titled to reasonable rates from the ports and enforced such rates, the first im portant step was taken. With that de cision fixing intrastate rates and the decision in the Carrollton case requir ing equitable interstate rates, the rate situation in Georgia is adjusted so that every community in Georgia may have the advantages of its location without unjust discrimination in favor of com peting communities. “For years the railroads in the south east have adapted what they call the ‘basing point' system’ of rate making, by which certain points are selected, sometimes arbitrarily upon which points rates to the surrounding territory are based. “To illustrate: The rate from Balti more to Cedartown is, on first class freight, 98 cents a hundred, Cedartown being a basing point, and Carrollton was charged an arbitrary over Cedartown of 27 cents a hundred, although the freight might have moved from Balti more to Cedartown through Carrollton. “In our complaint we defined the bas ing point system, which the commission quotes in its opinion: ‘Fourteenth para graph of complainants’ petition is as follows: That the defendants have adopted a system of rate making in Georgia known as the “basing point sys tem,” by which they concede to cer tain towns a particular rate and to oth er towns they charge a higher rate without regard to distance from the shipping point.’ “The system of basing points has some reason to supoprt it when a port or a large commercial center like At lanta is made a basing point, but even fn those cases the arbitrary over the basing point should have a fair relation to the total distance the freight is hauled. Mr. Commissioner Clements, who de livered the opinion in the Carrollton case, said: “That the basing-point system of rate making does not now demand that joint through rates over long distances to local or non-competi tive points should be made by add ing to basing-point rates either the full locals or high differentiials. “That, in the making of joint through rates on long-distance traf fic to local or non-competitive points, the differentials above the rates to the basing points should bear some reasonable relation to the total distances involved, in order that the rates to the local points may be just* and to avoid subject ing such locltr points to prejudice or disadvantage that is undue.” The commission does not now abolish basing points, but it does hold that the rates charged to towns other than bas ing points shall no longer be arbitra- ries, but must have reasonable rela tion to distance. The solution is con servative and wise, and points the way to a closer approximation to rates based on the principle that the greater the distance freight moves, the greater the actual rate, though the rate per mile lessens with distance. The reduction to Carrollton is re quired to be made by November 1, and amounts to approximately ten per cent on the total former rates. This reduction will not mean a net loss to the carriers, as it will tend to build up business. It does mean that Carrollton, which has been handicapped in the past, will now have an approxi mately fair field for business and growth. The benefit to Carrollton is largely more than the mere decrease in rates. Discrimination is much more injurious than high rates; though reasonable rates, as well as equality in rates, are required by the law and this decision. The advantage is not to Carrollton alone: the people who are served by Corrollton are directly benefited. Nor is the benefit confined alone to Carroll ton and the territory served by that growing town. The principle estab lished by this decision means that equality of opportunity will be open to all the communities in Georgia, and their advancement will be unhampered and without artificial restriction or un just, dangerous and arbitrary stimula tion. The commission followed the opiniop in the Carrollton case in the cases from LaGrange and Vienna.” T IS KIFFED BY BIS WIFE Granulated Eyelids Cured The worst cases, no matter of how long stand ing, are cured by the wonderful, old reliable Dr. Porter’s Antiseptic Healing Oil.

BLEASEJ0O SMITH Present Congressman From South Carolina Admits This Possibility and Has Proffers of Political Support (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) COLUMBIA, S. C., Aug. 11.—That A. F. Lever, representative in congress from the Seventh South Carolina dis trict and chairman of the house com mittee on agriculture, is seriously con sidering entering the race for the United States senate next summer against Senator E. D. Smith and Gov ernor Cole L. Blease, is the statement made by himself. The Journal corre spondent called on Mr. Lever at hi3 hotel while he was here this week and asked him the direct question. He ad mitted he was seriously considering the matter, but would not commit himself at present. It is known that Representative Lever received many proffers of support while here. His room was filled with visitors from all parts of the state, many of them being influential political leaders. Mr. Lever is one of the youngest men in congress from South Carolina. He served his native county of Lexington in the general assembly of this state for several years and then went to con gress. where he has remained since. He is very popular in his district, sev eral opponents having found this out when they contested for his seat. He has been on friendly terms with Gov ernor Blease and is not aligned with either of the present political factions in South Carolina politics. / A fight between Governor Blease, Con gressman Lever and Senator Smith would make the outcome exceedingly doubtful. All of them are well known and good stump speakers and no poli tician is willing to hazard a guess as to the outcome of such a fight. Senator Smith **-has positively an nounced that he is going to stand for re- election and that he expects to be re turned by a good majority. He is strong especially with the farmers of the state and besides has a considerable personal following. . Governor Blease caustically de nounced as a “lie” a statement sent out from Washington the other day to the effect that it was being told by South Carolinians visiting in Washington that it was rumored all over the state that the governor was going to seek a third term. He bitterly denied any such in tention, and not only said that he in tended to run against Senator Smith but that he was certain of election. The people throughout the state are awaiting definite announcement from Mr. Lever. It is the general impression that he will be in the race. He will admittedly cut into the vote of both Governor Blease and Senator Smith and would more than likely be in the second race with one of them. Whether Senator Tillman Is going to take a hand in the next senatorial race is not known, but •there is a general impression that if his health permits he will make a few stump speeches against Governor Blease.
