July 24—To abol ish the railroad commission of Georgia or curtail its powers would be a step in the wrong di rection and would prove harmful to the prosperity of the rank and file of Georgia citizens, according to views expressed in a leading editorial in a current issue of Frost’s Magazine, “The Call of the South.” The writer takes issue with those who favor its abolition, and says in the course of his argu ment: “Had it not been for the state railroad commission and the interstate commerce commission, the people of this country would today be paying five cents per mile for passenger fares just as they did twenty-five or thirty years ago, and freight rates would be correspondingly high. “If it were not for the railroad commission, to whom would the masses of the people look for proper adjustment of passenger and freight rates? They would be •absolutely at the mercy of the corporations.” LAST OPPORTUNITY To visit Jacksonville, Tampa, Brunswick and the islands via Southern Rail way, July 31st, 1913.
