OUR PUBLIC FORUM ■ The farmers of | this nation are vitally interested In railroad rates ■ nti tween passenger 7 and freight rates Is especially lm- Some of the states have a two cent passenger rate and whatever loss is incurred is recov ered through freight revenue. The jus tice of such a procedure was recently passed upon by the Supreme Court of West Virginia and the decision is 60 far-reaching that we have asked L. E. Johnson, president of the Nor folk and Western Railway whose road contested the case to briefly review the suit Mr. Johnson said in part: "Some ten years ago, passenger fares were fixed by the legislatures of a large number of states at two cents a mile. As a basis for such economic legislation, no examination was made of the cost of doing the business so regulated, nor was any attention given to the fact whether such a rate would yield to the rail way companies an adequate or any net return upon the capital invested in conducting this class of business. "Such a law was passed in West Virginia in 1907. The Norfolk and Western Railway Company put the rate into effect and maintained it for two years. Us accounting during these two years showed that two cents a mile per passenger barely paid the out-of-pocket cost and noth ing was left to pay any return on capital invested It sought relief from the courts. Expert accountants for Notice of Local Legislation.

BUSH, Dental Surgeon, Offices 2d Floor Hank of Soperlon Building Soperton, Ga. M. B. CALHOUN Atty at Law, Mt Vernon, Georgia II—L. E. Johnson On Two-Cent Passenger Rates both the State and the Railway Com pany testified that the claims of the railroad were sustained by the facts. Two cents did not pay the cost of carrying a passenger a mile. The State, however, contended that the railroad was earning enough surplus on its state freight business to give a fair return upon the capital used in its passenger as well as its freight business. For the purposes of the case, the railroad did not deny this, but held to its co*ention that the State could not segregate its pas senger business for rate fixing with out allowing a rate that would be sufficient to pay the cost of doing business and enough to give some return upon the capital invested in doing tho business regulated. This was the issue presented to the Su preme Court. Its decision responds to the judgment of the fair-minded sentiment of the country. Tho Su preme Court says that, even though a railroad earns a surplus on a par ticular commodity by charging rea sonable rates, that affords no reason for compelling it to haul another $ person or property for less than cost. The surplus from a reasonable rate properly belongs to the railway com pany. If the surplus is earned from an unreasonable rate then that rate should be reduced. The State may not even up by requiring the railroad to carry other traffic for nothing or for less than coist The decision is a wholesome one and demonstrates that the ordinary rules of fair dealing apply to railway companies. The fact that one makes a surplus on his wheat crop would never be urged as a reason for com pelling him to sell his cotton at less than cost. It would not satisfy the man who wanted bread to be told that its high price enabled the cotton manufacturer to get his raw product for less than cost. In this case the court reaffirmed the homely maxim that each tub must stand upon its own bottom." * ' i s w it ’-* s Annual Excursion % | | SAVANNAH AND TYBEE | JUNE iS, 1915 j % • via* | 1 THE SEABOARD AIR LINE RAILWAY j | Tickets on sale June 18, 1815, and l % limited to return Six Days from date * * 01 sale. 1 >! #1 V* • ft I BATHING!
