\ CANDIDATE FOR RUUD COMMISSIONER 1H. PEEPLES, WRITES FORTIER OF FREIGHT RITES Freight payer, do you know that “The Railroads ot Georgia’’ admit that “there are about nineteen hundred and forty rail road stations (cities and towns) in Georgia” that are discrimin ated against, under the present freight rates? These cities and towns have to pay a higher freight rate than the remaining cities. How does that strike you farmers, laborers, and mer chants in the country towns of Georgia? Reader, I feel like that you will agree with me when I say that it is grave in justice to give one city pre ferential Ireight over the remain ing cities and towns. Why? Be cause it enables the one that is granted the lowest frieght rate to under sell the cities and towns that are not granted an equally low rate. In other words, the city with the piefered freight rates prospers at the expense of the cities and towns that are not granted the same rate. “The railroads of Georgia” continue that they have “sug gested for the consideration of the Railroad Commission of Georgia, a system of freight rates that is believed will elimin ate the discriminations now ex isting betweeu the cities and towns of Georgia,” but at the same time they are expecting “increased revenue” in the re venue” in the “re-adjustment” of freight rates. With “Nineteen hundred and forty cities and towns” already paying excessive rates, can any one explain how a “re-adjust ment” would eliminate the ex cessive rates that these cities and towns are paying and at the same time bring in “an increas ed revenue” to the railroads? If the Georgia Railroad Com mission should grant the in crease in freight rates that the railroads are now asking for, “The shippers’ Association” says it will cost the people of Georgia approximately $3, 000,000 per year. My opponent is a chairman of the Georgia Railroad Commis sion, and also chairman of the W. A. Commission. Isn’t it true that Hon’s C. M. Candler and Asa. G. Candler are near relatives and the latter is a direotor in the Nashville Chatta nooga & St. Louis railroad, which is said to be owned by the Louisville and Nashville railroad a corporation that is seeking to destroy one of the state’s chief assets, the W. & A. railroad.
