It Is an old saying that "one ex-

For years the po 1
the railroad corporation* were rex
Meted oaly by their chartefs.wMH
were generally of a eery liberal
character; Made ao became the peo

of rapid tranaporution. Itwasno'
surprising that the extraordinary
power* *o liberally 'conferred apob
theta by the people abonld in many
laatance* bo abated by the railroad
corporation*, who, like all Individ

and In tbelr attempt to correct tbi-
•bntea under which they suffered
they very natnrally went to the ex
tremo of regarding all railroad cor
porations as robber* and the natnr
al enemies of the peoplo. They for*
got all the benefit* they bad rc
eelved from the railroad* and re
membered only their Injuries. Tin
consequence was that they natural
ly went to the other extreme, and
Instead of conferring liberal powers
upon the railroads, they thro*
around them, through the Railroad
Commission, unnatural and embar
noting restriction a. In their desire
to escape from tho supposed thrall
dom of the railroads they organ
bed an irresponsible commission,
to whom they delegated powers
sever before conferred upon any
official body power* that belonged
to the legislative, Judiolal and ex
eeetivv) departments combined.
Imbuod with tho spirit which call
ed it into existence, this Commix
alon naturally looked only to tb<
aealriotion of the railroads, noi
’ thinking that when they imposed
unnatural restrictions they imped
ed oommsroo and thereby worked
an Injury to tho interest ot the peo
ple. Tbs oonsequenoo has been ti
alarm capitalists as to the safety o'
investment In Georgia railroads to
suek an extent that many project
ed railroads were abandoned and
the people were thereby deprived
of the inoreneed means oftranspor
Cation and resulting competition in
< rates.
The people of Amerioc* and ol
Southwest Georgia, who
largely Instrumental In scouring the
formation of the Railroad Oommis-
aion have been made to feel more
than onoe that It did not aflord the
relief they bad expected, and that
in many inetansos it resulted to
their dotrlment. Take the caso of
a little over a year ago, when the
Commission announced a rcductioL
of rates on ootton at a certain date,
thereby indiioing shippers to bold
back their cotton, and then only a
few days before tho reduced rate
was to go into effect the order wa*
rescinded. The accumulation of
cotton at this point earned a block
ade, but Instead of bolding Ihi-
Commisalon to acooubt ft* it the
railroad' was b.amed and the power
ol tho Commission was invoked to
oompe 1th* railroad to haul off in
a few days what had been
laiing ior weeks. When
pie have asked fbr lower
