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.
Ishall 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 certain sections
of the country rich 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-
parties rre agreed that much
THE DOUGLAS ENTERPRISE, DO UGLAS. GEORGIA, AUG., 19 1916.
To Furnish Transportation
Than Ever
The same business laws apply to Railroads as to all other concerns and
with State and Federal jurisdiction over them, their every operation is open
to the public.
It is no secret how their costs have and are increasing, while the prices
to be charged for their manufactured product transportation remains
fixed by law.
General business organizations meet increased expenses from year to
j> year and day to day by increasing prices and by economies not permitted
| to Railroads.
The Railroads of Georgia are hauling freight today at rates less than
? those fixed in 1880.
In what way are the Railroads different from other business enterprises
k that they can live without increasing their prices when expenses are con
* tinually increasing?
To the average individual, the Railroad is an engine and passenger
1 coaches, or freight cars.
Below is the precentage of increased costs of these items which the
Railroads have had to bear between 1907 and 1916:
% i
r*.
LOCOMOTIVES 45%
j PASSENGER, MAIL AND EXPRESS CARS 93%
; ; FREIGHT CAR EQUIPMENT 33%
Average percentage increase in cost of all
; equipment 62%
In previous statements the average per cent of increase in price of twenty
five necessary articles in daily use by the Railroads of Georgia, from angle
bars to waste cotton, has been shown to be .. . . : 77.71%
The percentage of increase iR wages paid for labor has been 142. %
The percentage of increase in taxes paid bv the Railroads of Geoflfia in
Georgia alone (for 1915 over 1901 ) has been 178. %
AND YET, THE FREIGHT RATES TODAY ARE
LOWER THAN THEY WERE IN 1880.
2
.4
Notwithstanding such increased cost? public improvements must go
| on. Of the sixty-four railroads operating in Georgia, nine, namely, the
' Atlanta & West Point Georgia Railroad
Atlanta, Birmingham & Atlantic Georgia Southern & Florida
Atlantic Coast Line Seaboard Air Line
4 Central of Georgia Southern, and Western & Atlantic,
for the eight years ending June 30, 1915, spent for per
manent improvements in the State of Georgia, not in
cluding .any expenses of operation or maintenance, or
j rolling stock whatever, the sum of . . . . $22,304,773.00
. For additional right-of-way and land for stations alone, CIO CUQ 00
there was paid to the people of Georgia the total sum of Oio,o3y.Za
For station buildings, the sum of 1,891,475.79
For none of these items is there any increased revenue received by the
carriers. Nor are any of these expenditures made from earnings, hut are
solely investments which have been provided for by additional capital.

THE RAILROADS OF GEORGIA
of the revenues of the Government
should be raised through the tariff
system, it should be the purpose of
Congress to fix the 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
'list, resulting in a sale of these pro
ducts many times at cost of product
ion, and often less, te 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 Congress in
arranging the tariff dealt alike with
both manufacturer and producers,
keeping the prices of cotton protect
ed for about sixty years, and at the
begining of the Cival war the South
owned 41 per cent of the wealth of
the United States. But after the war
the polioy was changed, and the prod
ucts of Manufacturers protected, and
A
other 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 producers
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
an actual existence.
I also favor a market bureau
through which the cotton growers and
others mya negotiate with purchasers
throught the world for the best price
of cotton and other products, there
by protecting their interests from
speculation.
The Government has, by irrigation
and drainage, reclaimed and turned
into wealth millions of acres of worth
less land in the West, and there are
thousands of acres of valuable land*
in the Eleventh District, which, under
scientific and economal draining,
would be sources of comfort and pros
perity to those who own them, and
he Government owes it to these people
who are carring the burdens of the
Government, to give them such con
sideration.
If with fair and equal opportunity
the land owners, cotton growers,
lumbermen and naval stores interests
in the Eleventh district can have reas
onable prosperity, the laborer will re
ceive his reward and all other interests
prosper as well.
I favor improving the ports at
Brunswick and St. Morys.
I shall conduct my campaign upon
these and other issues which means
the peoples upliift, without indulging
in personal references to the other
candidates in the race, all of them
are known to the people. lam going
directly to the people with my cam
paign.
The election of a Congressman is
of more interest to the people
than the election of any other public
official, since it is in Congress that
legislation is enacted that helps or
hurts the masses of the people.
Respectfully yours,
J W. E. THOAMS.
FOR CONGRESS.
TO THE PEOPLE OF THE ELEVEN
TH DISTRICT OF GEORGIA:
I beg to formally announce my can
didacy to ■ ucceed myself as your rep
rYentative in the sixty-fifth Congress
from the Eleventh District of Georgia.
I feel the deepest sense ox gratitude
for the partial consideration which you
have accorded me, and have at all
times been fully conscious of the
duties and responsibilities resting on
me.
I am better able to represent you
now than over before, and have learn
ed that which any new member of
Congress must learn before he can
hope to reach the same degree of
efficiency.
I am standing squarely and con
fidently upon the record I have made,
and point with pardonable pride to the
achievements of the present adminis
tration which stand unparalled in the
history of this country. I have done
my humble part toward the enact
ment into law of the many construct
ive pieces of legislation which we have
passed, bringing relief and opportun
ity to the great masses of the people
everywhere.
We are today at peace with the
world; happy and prosperous, with
our rights on the land and on the seas
preserved and our standing and dig
nity as a nation fully upheld.
I have stood by our great Presi
dent in the many exigencies that have
arisen and have helped to uphold Lis
righteous hands in both his domestic
and foriegn policies. I shall hope to
give you a full account of my stew
ardship before the primary in Sept
