prohibits any person or association
from building any railroad across any
‘public road or obstructing any public
road without first becoming incorpor
ated under trie laws of the state. Ex
ceptions are made in the cases of tram
roads operated in connection with saw
> mills.
The bill was introduced by Messrs.
Hall. Knight, Underwood, Rankin, Tlg-
ner, Richardson and Deal.
Mr. Hall spoke in favor of the pas
sage of the bill. He said the Southern
railway had built into Georgia with
out being Incorporated in this state.
Mr. Hall declared that one man, J.
Plerpont Morgan, could rru^ke or 'un
make the fortunes of any man or com
munity In the state.

iwould have on corporations already

"Not tho slightest effect,” sa'ld Mr.
Hall.
Mr. Slaton spoke In opposition to the
bill. He said the bill would not give
any relief from unjust freight, rales.
The Jurisdiction over all interstate
business was with the Interstate com
mission. If the Southern were domes
ticated the same Influences would still
control.
Mr. Mills asked If the bill would not
Iglve the state courts jurisdiction over
the road.
"It would,” said Mr. Slaton, "if the
supreme court of the United States
had not decided otherwise.”
"I deny It." said Mr. Hall.
None of the evIlB. said Mr. Slaton,
pould be corrected by the bill.
Mr. Candler naked:
"Youjidmlt the evils?”
"You simply criticize the remedy?”
"Yes.”
‘"Then what remedy do you offer?”
Mr. Slaton said the Interstate com
mission wns the only power that could
Vilng relief.
Mr. Iltxon of Sumpter asked If the
Southern was more oppressive than
any other road domesticated or not.
Mr. Slaton answered, no.
Mr. Aiken said If the bill was fair. If
It righted one wrong. If It did nothing
hut settle n principle. It ought to pass..
The bill was not aimed at freight
rates. That was not what it fought.
Mr. Akin said the question w
whether Georgia was a sovereign utnte
or a province of a consolidated empire.
How long would the legislature

ton of Fulton and neglect to pass this
much needed law. lie spoke of a wo

In the course of his speech Mr. Akin,
In reply to a question ns to whether the
other roads were asking for this hill
affecting the Southern, said the At
lantic Const Line was controlled by tho
name man who controlled the South
ern; the Coast Lino owned a majority
of tho Louisville nnd Nashville stock.
The same financiers thnt controlled the
Southern controlled the Central rtml, ho
did see not why the other roads should
seek to do anything against the Inter
ests of the Southern.
"Has not the gentleman (Mr. Frank
lin who had asked the question) no
ticed the flirtations In Wall street with
the Seaboard? Has he not noticed that
the financiers have depressed Seaboard
from 60 to 14*4 **nd five per cent.

neuvres which look to mo as If the time
Is coming and It Is possibly but a short
time ofT. when there will be no distinc

nnd all the other roads?”
Mr. Hill spoke ngnln very earnest
ly advocating the passage of the hill,
lie said the decision of the supreme
court of the United States which Mr.
Slaton had quoted tyid no bearing on
the bill before the houno. The hill had
been drawn to avoid that decision. Mr.
Hall said thnt whenever any bill was
up that sought to give relief to the
people Mr. Slaton Invoked soma deci
sion of the supreme court of the United
States.
"I am doing as I please for a
exclaimed Mr. Hall, "and the supremo
court can do its worst."
Mr. Stovall asked If the tram road
of the saw mill men were fully pro
tected.
Mr. Hall said the tram road was put
In by Mr. West, a saw mill man.
Mr. Stovall said Mr. Stillwell of Sa

“We cannot satisfy everybody” said
Mr. Hall.
The Mll was put on Its passage.
During the call of the roll Mr. Black
burn 1 of Fulton explained lfts vote, say

Mr. Stovall explained his vote. He
said that he hod last year consulted
eminent lawyers, one now on tfie r *
preme bench and one who had been
the supreme bench and they and others
bad held the hill could not exempt the
tram roads. He voted against the. bill.

no salary or compensation other than

The bill is particular to specify the
class of Immigrants to be solicited to
come to the state, as being only de
sirable citizens, and particularly Amer
ican citizens. The total expenses of
the commission, for all purposes, are
limited by the bill to such nmount as
the general assembly shall appropriate
for that purpose.
Considerable opposition developed to
the bill, nnd a number of speeches were
made against ft. by Senators Perry,
Skelton, Harrell and Jordan. Benator
Perry did not think that any more pat
ronage should be given to the governor
to the building up of a political
chine. He, thought that there \v.
crying need of Immigration to this
state; that the natural Increase of o
people was best. Senator Jord
thought the trend of the bill might be
In the direction of causing of too much
cotton and too low a price for the com
modity.
Senator Tlslnger spoke strongly In
favor of the bill, and showed the need
