VISITING AND BKINC VISITED.
RAILROADS UP IN ARMS OVER THE
TWO CENT A MILE RATE.
The Proposed Reduction in Passenger
Rate* by the Legislature to be Met De
terminedly—Passenger Business Won't
Warrant Lowering.
The talked of Introduction in the
legislature of a bill to reduce the rail
road passenger rates of Georgia to l
cents per mile is annoying the roads to
no inconsiderable extent. Should the
bill bo introduced there is no doubt that
the railroads will make one of the great
est lights ever known in the history of
Georgia.
The roads claim that their rates now
are as low as possibly can be made with
any show of pro ITt.
“If such a measure should be passed,”
said a prominent oflicial, yesterday, “it
would result in the bankrupting
nearly every road in the state. The
almost universal rate throughout the
United Slates is cents a mile. There
are a few roads which charge but 2 cents
a mile, but those run through thickly
populated territory, and do such an im
mense passenger business that they can
afford it.
“The 2-cent rate won’t do in this sec
tion,” the oflicial added. “The country
hasn’t the population to warrant it, and
it will be a longtime before it will,
either. If our lawmakers would hesi
tate for a while and give the matter care
ful thought and calculation they would
see that the reductions the roads now
make to excursions, conventions, theat
rical companies, clergymen and such like
brought the general average down to hut
little more than 2 cents per mile. If a
law should bo passed reducing the regu
lar rate to 2 cents of course the people
would expect the roads to continue the
reductions I have mentioned, and as a
matter of course they could not he run
with any possibility of making money.”
“lias not the railroad commission the
power to reduce tlio rate to 2 cents
without action by the legislature?”
“Yes, most certainly; hut the commis
sion would rather let the legislature take
tlio responsibility for such a sweeping
change.”
Tlio oflicial said the talkcd-of reduc
tion is not being agitated by the com
mission, but by outside parties, who
think the railroads are making too much
money out of the passenger, when, as a
matter of fact, they make hut little.
