FOR CONGRESS.
TO THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS OF
THE ELEVENTH DISTRICT.
I hereby announce myself a candid
ate for Congress from the Eleventh
District of Georgia, in the Democra
tic Primary of September, 12th.
Ifhall stand by the Constitution of
the United States and the Demo
cratic principals of equal rights to
all and special privileges to none. The
Congress has the power, by its tariff
regulations, to make cei-tain sections
of the counity rk-it and others poor.
It can make one class or section a
people of fortune and wealth, leav
ing other sections in destitute and
povety.
It shall be the aim of my candidacy
that the Congress in arranging its
tariff regulations, shall deal with all
classes alike.
Since both the Republican and Dem
ocratic parties are '’creed that much
THE DOUGLAS ENTERPRISE, PQUGLAS, GEORGIA. AUG., 12 1916.
MORE SPECIAL FAVORS
Out cf r.oco shipping towns in Georgia about 6o enjoy the special privilege of “basing point rates.” That is, rates lov/er
than to other nearby or intermediate points. The proposed freight rate readjustment in Georgia, set for a hearing before the
Railroad Commission of Georgia on August 17th, seeks to correct this.
It has already been largely done throughout Georgia, with respect to rates from points in other States, and the interstate
“basing j oint” system has been abolished in accordance with the Act to Regulate Commerce under the orders of the Inter
state Commerce Commission.
A few examples will show to what extent the hundreds of smaller points in Georgia have been already benefited and how
the readjustment in Georgia, when completed, will work for the benefit of the whole State by equalizing the opportunity of
all towns, large and small, for doing business.
MADISON, BREMEN, RICHLAND and OCILLA are four widely separated Georgia towns representing different
sections of the State. Similar illustrations can be made by the hundreds. These four towns suffice to illustrate the striking
changes already brought about in this interstate rate readjustment, shown in the table below:

Madison’s Improved Condition.
Madison competes in the intermediate territory with Atlanta and
Athens. The old rates above from New York to Madison averaged
27 per cent higher than to Atlanta and Athens, while the present
rates to Madison are exaetiy the same as to Atlanta and Athens.
Now York is representative of Baltimore, Philadelphia and the East.
From Louisville, the average prior to January Ist, 1916, to
Madison was 38 per cent higher than to Atlanta and 32 per me
higher than to Athens. The present Madison rate average 12 pe.-
cent higher Shan to Atlanta and 7 per cent higher than to Athens.

Madison, as compared with Atlanta, being.

Previous to Jauuary Ist, 191 C, the rates to Cedartown, generally

Brei&en were, generally speaking, made on combination of the rates
to Cedartown or Atlanta, plus the local rates out to Bremen.
From New York and the East, Bremen now has rales identically

of the revenues of the Government
should be raised through the taiiff
system, it should be the purpose of
Congress to fix th e tariff so that all
interests should be dealt with alike,
and on equal terms. Under the pres
ent system the products of the man
ufacturers are protected, whereby the
manufacturer secures a profit in the
sale of his goods, while the products
of producers of cotton, lumber and
naval stores are left off the protected
-iist, resulting in a sale of these pro
ducts many times at cost of product
ion, and often less, to pay high pro
tected prices for manufactured prod
ucts. This system adds to the wealth
of the large industries, while the prod
ucers of cotton, lumber and naval
stores generally conduct their enter
prises with little, if any, profit.
For many years the Con «■>•,<. . ,' r

both manufacturer and producers,
keeping the prices of cotton protect

begining of the Cival war the South
owned 4i per cent of the wealth of
the United States. But after the war
the poiioy was changed, and the prod
ucts of Manufacturers protected, and
ether products of the South neglect
ed. As a result, it is estimated that
70 per cent of the farms in this sec
tion are under a mortgage loan, and
67000 little white children of Georgia
of school age are unable to read or
write because their parents are too
poor to get them into school.
The prosperity of the ‘prcliucers
of cotton and other products is depend
ent upon a fair price for what they
have to sell. With out it, thousands
of our people are unable to educate
their children, and have to fight for

I also favor a market bureau

speculation.
The Government has, by irrigation
and drainage, reclaimed and turned }
into wealth millions of acres of worth- j
less land in the West, and there j
thousands of acres of valuable lands !
in the Eleventh District, which, under '

would be sources of comfort and pros- j
perity to those who own them, and |
ho Government owes it to these people !
who are carring the burdens of the 1
Government, to give them such con- |

If with fair and equal opportunity
