Speaking of the complications over
the betterments question, the Augusta
Chronicle says: 5
“The Chronicle Iia3 all along advo
cated the formation of a commission
by the state to look into the question
of betterments. This seemed to he
business like and just, Whether a
man may favor the claim of the les
sees or not, he could not refuse art of
fer to arbitrate the question, or to al
low the lessees to be heard They
are patrons of the state. Some of
them are citizens of Georgia. They
bring their claims in a business way
and should have an audience. If
the courts of the state and all arbitra
tion are denied them they have shown
a disposition to begin action in nnotli
cr state for taxes paid upon that por
tion of the road lying in Tennessee,
The state should go about the adjust
ment of this claim in a business way.
There should be no complication in
the way of the transfer of
the Western and Atlantic railroad
from the old to the new company,
The Chronicle believes the matter
can be arranged by the selection of a
commission and the submission of the
points at issue to this body. By all
means let this important matter be
squared up.”
Let the '.eyslaturo settle the ques
tion of betterments. If anything is
due the old lessees it should be paid.
Tiie state cannot afford to allow a just
claim, huwever small, against her, to
remain unpaid
The total fire loss in the United
States during the month of Novem
ber, this ye ir, was 88,351,300. For
the same month last year the fire
oss was 820.081,600. This is a most
remarkable difference.
Gov. Northen has iutimated that
he will call an extra session of the
legislature, unless that body promptly
nettles the betterments question. You
are right. Governor, the people want
the matter disposed of.
Gov. Northen bos appointed Capt.
S. D. Brad well, of Liberty, county
State School Commissioner. This
will give very general Satisfaction, as
Capt, Bradwell is a practical educa
tor, and understands fully the needs
of the common school of the
State.
Mr. Humphreys of Brooks, moved,
in the house yesterday, to strike out
all appropriations for the several col
leges in the state. Surely the farmers
in the legislature are not in favor of
breaking down Georgia’s colleges.
We will not believe they are until
the contrary is shown.
The full vote cast in Virginia at
the November election has been re
ceived and canvassed by the state
board of canvassers. The total dem

ity 64,672.

The Betterments Question.
Atlanta, Dec. 10.—The better-
me ts problem must be settled in the
next two weeks. Gov. Northen has
intimated that he w.ll reconvene the
Legislature in ex ra session unless the
matter is disposed of. The old lessees
have for years paid taxes on Georgia
property in Tennessee, so they claim.
There is the question, too, ot adjust
ing the value of the rolling stock turn
ed over to the lessees twenty years ago.
It is said further that the State turned
over to the lessees many thousand
rds 4 wood and a vreai quantity of
o,d iron rails, which w, re of great
value in anie-Hessemer days. Wh le
the situation is mixed, yet there need
be no fear of the new lease not going
into --fleet. To understand the condi
tion of things it is proper to remem
ber that the new and old lessees are
the same parties. The Louisvil’e and
Nashville, which has leased the road,
owned a controlling share of the old
lease.

Give Knowles Better Roads.
We do not believe in continually
harassing the Legislature, but there
is oue matter which we think de
mands their attrition. This is the
sys.’em of public roads. That
improvement in the plan of working
them is a growing necessity there is
no doubt, aud the Legislature, com
posed largely of farmers, should ap
preciate this fact. Bad roads area
great drawback to the progress uf the
State aud a great loss to the farmers
in wear of horses, mules and rolling
stock. We cannot hope to have any
permanent improvement in the high
ways until the laws have been
changed. There should bo a prop
erty tax, supplemented with a com
mutation per capita tax.—Grecnsboio
Herald-Journal.
A Slight Difference.
The Savannah Daily Times says:
They have some capital finances in
Washington among the Republican
statesmen, but the trouble is they don’t
seem to be able to get together. Mr.
Harrison figures on the public expend
itures for 1892 at 357,000,000, Secrc-
tar/ Windom at $407,000,000, and
the clerks of the Appropriation Com
mittee for the House and Senate at
481,000,000. As there is only a mar
gin of from $50,000,000 to $124,000,-
000 in these estimates in don’t amount
to much.
