THE WAII.ROA.D COMM I SSI ON.
In a convcrsat'on with Mr. R. L.
Bloomfield this week that gentleman
advanced several ideas about the
Georgia Railroad Commission that
impressed us most forcibly. He
says [while believing that the
people should have protection
agaiast the monied monopolies
that arc now usurping all the rail
ways in our state, thus destroying
by combination legitimate competi
tion, at the same time he considers
the present Commission of five
men, empowered to regulate tariffs,
an outragous usurpation by the state
of private rights that is as oppres
sive and unjust as the inquisition of
Spain. He says the legislature and
the cour‘- of Georgia should take
this important matter in hand and
not place this immense property at
the despotic mercy of a few individ
uals, with no right of appeal; that it
is a species of usurpatous tyranny
that must eventually work disaster
to our institutions and is an attack
upon the very fundamental princi
ples of repubbliean government.
Mr. Bloomfield says that the legisla
ture should enact laws governin,
railroads, and let them be enforced
through the courts and by a jury of
twelve freemen. Let either the
people or the railways have a right
at all times to appeal to this tribu
nal. He further says he believes in
the passage of a law preventing
consolidation of our railroad inter
ests. For instance, the Central
road is chartered from Savannah to
Macon, and there let it end. Do
not give it the right to gobble up
other lines and thus destroy that le
gitimate competition which is the
groundwork of commercial prosper
ity. We think that Mr. Bloomfield
has struck the right solution of this
vexed problem. While we believe
that the Railroad Commission in
Georgia has wrought good, it has
lately given signs of arbitrary
oppression that if not checked
will work serious injury to
the development of our state. Al
ready are capitalists withholding
their money from further invest
ments in railroads in Georgia, and
most wisely, too, for they do not
know what new step these dicta
tors will take. Our railroad inter
ests arc completely at their mercy,
and it lays within the power of
three men—a majority of this body
—to bankrupt every (line of road in
our limits. We arc now in favor
of doing away with the Railroad
Commission altogether, and adopt
ing a plan similar to the one sug‘
gested by Mr. Bloomfield. As well
had every cotton factory, or other
corporation in Georgia, be regulated
by commissions as railroads. These
enterprises have as much right to
access to the courts as any private
individual. It is unjust to oppress
them and take the entire control of
this property trom the owners and
place it at the mercy of four men.
The impression seems to prevail in
Georgia that railroads have no rights
that the public are bound to respect,
and that it is a commendable act to
bleed them on all occasions. No
enterprise has done more to build
up and develop the country than
railroads, and yet they give a less
return on the capital invested than
any other class of pioperty. In
stead of oppressing these great ar
teries of commerce every protec
tion consistent with the interests of
the public should be thrown around
them. They should be fostered and
encouraged by our laws. We ®d
mit that the present tendency for
consolidation by railroads is danger
ous to the commerce of the country,
and the people should be protected
against the inevitable results. Mr
Bloomfield’s idea of keeping roads
within their chartered limits is an
excellent one, if it can be done con
stitutionally; but in the event that
this fails the courts are always open
for the correction of any grievance,
and both sides should have access
to them. The legislature can pass
all laws necessary to check any in
justice, and not delegate this power
to five men with unlimited authority
over private property. The rail
roads can then know exactly what
to expect, and govern themselves
accordingly. Under the commis
sion system a feeling of insecurity
necessarily surrounds the railway
interests of Georgia, and Will
* exist so long as such circum
scribed power is tolerated. It is
necessary to remove this doubt, for
no industry can prosper while kept
beneath such a load. We want a
commission to regulate this impor
tant matter, but let that commission
consist ol statutes passed by the leg
islature and enforced by a jury of
twelve upright and intelligent citi
zens, sqforn to do equal' justice to
both sides. Athens is now leeling
the effects of this tyranny. Roads
that are necessary to our commer
cial welfare are retarded because
the capitalists refuse to put their
money in hi: and rolling stock un
less guaranteed a better protection
than is now extended them by the
laws of Georgia. This, we fear, is
only a beginning ol a justly founded
timidity as regards railways in our
-state, that will seriously check de
velopment of the country." Out
people are too.poor to build roads

The citizens ot Athens have about
decided that they will tap the G., J
& S. Railroad at this point, as it is
about the best arrangement that can
be made under the circumstances.
As will be s en in the article from
the Banner-Watchman, they pro
pose to go to work at once, so as to
have the road ready by fall. In a
later issue of the Banner-Watchman
we clipped the letter from President
Raoul to Major Green upon the
subject. How this may affect the
project, or what its full import is,
we do not understand.
We have no doubt, however, but
what necessary assistance will be
given by the friends of the Georgia
railroad. It is evident, though,
that we must do all we can before
aid can be expected from any quar
ter. • The cheapness of the propos
ed line makes this quite an easy task,
provided the citizens of Athens fa
vor the subject. As the Banner-
Watchman says, twenty thousand
dollars is ample to grade the road
bed; in fact, it will not require near
tiftt amount to do the work. With
the road-bed and tics to negotiate
upon, it will be an easy matter to
secure the equipment. In three
years the road will pay back every
dollar that Athens put into it, and
secure to Athens her legitimate ter
ritory. Under these circumstances
we cannot see why Athens does not
move at once in the matter. Every
day lost will only require that much
more labor to regain the lost terri
tory.
