j FREIGHT PAYER READ THIS
Freight payer, do you know that
“The Railroads of Georgia” admit
that “there are about nineteen hun
dred and forty railroad stations—
(cities and towns) in Georgia” that
are discriminated against, under the
t present freight rates? These cities
; and towns have to pay a higher rate
. than the remaining cities. Hov/
f does that strike you farmers, labor
। ers, and merchants in the country
j towns of Georgia? Reader, I feel
1 like that you will agree with me
» when I say that it is a grave injust
. ice to give one city preferential
_ freight rates over the remaining cit
_ ies and towns. Why? Because it
5 enables the one that is granted the
j lowest freight rate to under sell the
(. cities and towns that are not grant
;ed an equally low rate. In other
} words the city with the preferred
, freight rate prospers at the expense
। of the cities and towns that are not
। granted the same rates.
. “The Railroads of Georgia” con
, tend that they have “suggested foi
[ the consideration of the Railroad
. Commission of Georgia a system of
. freight rates that is believed will
, eliminate the discriminations now
. existing between the cities and the
towns of Georgia,” but the same
time they are expecting “increased
. revenue” in the'“re adjustment” of
। freight rates.
L With “Nineteen hundred and for
, A cities and iowm ' already pay
. h»g (excessive rates, can any one ex
■ plain .how a re-adjustment” would'
. eliminate the excessive rates that
. these t'iues and towns are paying,
. and at ‘he same time bring in “anl
increased revenue” to the railroads?
If the Georgia Railroad Commis
sion should giant the increase in
freight rates that me railroads are
now asking for, “The Shippers’ As
sociation'' say.> it will cost the people
of “Georg, t ap; r< ximately $3,000,-
000 per year.”
My opponent is chairman of the
Ceorgia Railroad Commission, and
alsoo chairman of the W & A Com
mission. Isn’t is true that Hon’s.
C. M. jCandler and Asa Gy .Candler
I are near relatives and that the lat
-8 ter is a- director in the Nashville,
phajttanooga and St. Louis rail
road. wlhich is said to be owned by
the Louisville & Nashville railroad
a corporation that is seeking to de
stroy the States chief assets, the
W & A Railroad? View the situa
tion from every angle and see just
what’ conclusion you reach in your
own mind.
Ilf I am elected Railroad Commis
sioner, I will oppose the discrimin
ating rates system to and from the
cities' and towns referred to above,
st Ido not contend that lam noted
l to such an extent hat my name is
p a household word in he homes of
; Georgia, nor do I contend but that
the faces of some other people
would appear more familiar to the
voters of the tSate; but at the same
time I happen to know that the
face of my opponent, Hon. C. Mur
phy Candler, is not so very familiar
to the people of Georgia, or at least
not so, in this neck of the woods.
Would you know him to meet him
in the road? |
How about relieving Mr. Can
dler, —he's labored with us a good
while ?
eR on your lookout, boys, the
city dudes from Atlanta are travers
ing the States to tell us country
< 'rackers who to support for Raii
r oad Commissioner. What would
tl icy think in Atlanta if we were to
gt > there to tell them how to vote ?
I have told the people of Georgia
jus t waht I would stand for, in the
eve nt of my election as Railroad
Co^ imissioner, and I trust the re
sults; at the hands of the fair and
im-p artial minded people of Geor
gia. i Respectfully,
’1 JAMES H. PEEPLES.
