THE BANNEA, FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 27, 1911.
Attaches To the Inaction
On the Part of Officials
As To W. & A.
R. R. Matter.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 21.—Some mys-
ten' attaches, it would appear, to the
Inaction on the part of Governor
Brown in the matter of proceeding
against the Nashville, Chattanooga
and St. Louis Railroad Co. as lessee
of the Western and Atlantic, for its
alleged failure to comply with the
terms of the lease contract.
It will be recalled that nearly two
months ago the railroad commission
after an investigation, called to the
governor's attention the fact, In its
opinion, the lessee was not complying
with that provision of the lease which
requires that the same rates of
freight shall be charged for hauls be
tween Georgia points and Chatta
nooga, as for like distances between
lioints wholly within the state.
In other words the lessee company
long has been and still Is charging
higher rates for the interstate haul
than for hauls within the state.
The railroad commission, for this
reason, put it up to the governor to
take whatever steps might be nec
essary to force the lessee company to
comply with the terms of the con
tract.
It has been suggested that this
might be done either through man
datory Injunction brought against the
lessee In the name of the state, or,
by abrogating the lease outright, and
letting the lessee company make its
own light.
After the case had been placed In
the bands of Governor Brown and be
had given It some consideration, he
sent It back to the commission, but
for what purpose has never been
made public.
Now the commission has returned
the papers to the governor and for
last ten days or two weeks they have
been In his hands for the second time.
Just what all this passing back and
forth means, It Is Impossible to ascer
tain directly because neither the gov
ernor nor members of the commission
will talk about It.
The commission states the matter
Is In the governor’s bands while the
governor simply says he has It under
consideration.
But gossip around the capitol Is to
the effect that a decided difference
of opinion has arisen between the
commission and the governor as to
Just how the matter should be han
dled.
It Is reported that the governor is
of the opinion that the commission
should take the Initiative In the mat
ter, that It should order Into effect
the same {rates for tlse interstate
traffle on the Western and Atlantic as
are charged for hauls within the
state. If then the lessee company
should refuse to obey the order of
the commission, proceedings could be
had against It In the usual manner
when the commission's orders are
Ignored or violated.
According to the gossip this Is the
reason, or one fit the reason* why
the governor sent the matter back to
the commission.
It Is said the railroad commission,
on the other band, takes the view
that this Is a matter purely for execu
tive action; that It Is an executive
function to enforce compliance with
the terms of tbo contract which the
lessee company has with the state.
For this reason, it Is said, the com
mission just as promptly returned
the matter to the governor where It
now rests awaiting his decision.
The governor, It Is reported, has
been going over the matter with the
attorney general and will probably
decide within a few days what course
of action he will pursue.
From the status which the matter
hat assumed, the indications are that
any action taken against the lessee is
now up to the governor; and, as has
been stated, two courses are open to
him. As tD which of these he will
take, be bat as yet given no fntima
