IN RACE FER COMMISSIONER
Announces General Principles
cf Race
Asked by a Times-Recorder rep
iesentative as to the principles upon
which he will base his platform in
his candidacy for Railroad Commis
sion, and the status of affairs as con
cern this campaign, Col. Charles Jack
son Shipp said:
“I am feeling very hopeful. I am
receiving letters from all over the
state, among them a large number of
people who recognize the need of South
Georgia's being represented on the
Railroad Commission boaid.
“South Ceorgia needs more rail
loads and needs them badly Just a
lew years ago the greater pait .of
South Ceorgia was waste lands. After
the building of a few railroads, she
began to develop, and is now the rich
est section of the state.
"But we haven’t more than one
fourth of the railroads that we need in
this section. Railroad building would
be carried on more extensively if it
were not for the fact that it usually
takes about twenty years to make
these roads a paying investment.
“I think that the railroad commis
sion ought to be very liberal with all
new railroads and should so regulate j
their rates as to allow them to make j
sufficient money from the beginning to
pay good wages to their employees!
and also, to pay some dividend on the
investment of capital stock.
“The thing which has retarded rail
road building is demagoguism in pol
itics, or politicians seeking popularity
by fighting the railroads. I believe
that the railroads should be treated I
justly; and 1 believe that there is'
enough honesty among the people to
give the railroads a square deal, if the
facts are properly presented to them.
“The Georgian who is an enemy to
the railroad is not a patriot; I am
old enough to have observed the wide
difference in education, culture, relig
ious influence, refinement and all of
the elegances which go to make up a
great civilization, since the railroads
have developed our section. I feel that
1 would be untrue to myself and fellow
Georgians if I were an enemy to these
advantages. |
“I believe that the railroads should
he properly regulated, but not put out
of business. j
“1 am in favor of the newspaper
man having the right to exchange
space for railroad transportation with
out regard to whom this transporta
tion is used by; If the newspaper man
wants to swap a railroad ticket to his
grocerynian for a side of bacon, he i
should have the right to do it, as he
has paid for it in space, which is his
stock in trade and is as valuable as
money, .
munrj, ,
I lie rates in South Georgia, as a
rule, have been made up of special
iates, and are unsatisfactory both *o
the public and the railroads. These
should be looked after and satisfac
torily arranged, and as I am the only
candidate from South Georiga, and -t
elected will be the only member of the |
board from this section, I shall use ,
my best efforts in the adjustment ot'j

these rates. I have given the matter
a great deal of consideration, having
been a student of these conditions for
several yeats, and I believe that l
have informed myself pretty well of
the situation, and feel that I can be of
great service to the state at large and
South Georgia in particular in an en

rates of South Georgia.

“I have recommended Grape-Nuts

the greatest success and every year's
experience makes me more enthus

“I make it a rule to always recom
mend Grape-Nuts, and Postum in place
of coffee, when giving my patients in

Grape-Nuts and Postum can be digest

“As for myself when engaged if*

build up gray matter and keep the
brain in good working order.
