TIIE WEEKLY TELEGRAPH AND MESSENGER, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER5, 1884. knotvledeed. The railway and canal act of J834 had been administered by the Court of Common Pleas with indifferent success. Indeed, with respect both to main and through traffic, considered irre spective of ‘undue preference,' this act had been a complete failure, not a single success! al,applicatfon haring been made. And although the decisions of the courts between different classes of traders had been satisfactory in principle, and there was no reason to suppose that any tribu nal specially constituted would come to sounder conclusions, It appeared that questions of fairness of charges were of matters administrative policy rather than simple ques tions of law, and could be bettor and more cheaply investigated by a special tri bunal acquainted with the subject.

Complaints have frequently been made that the right ol appeal to the courts does lie (mm the decisions and rulings of L commission. This has, in some in- been mide a pretext for assailing decommission Itself. It has been claimed irl. tb. decisions of the commission were “■LTsHc and that the great interests of «?i°rsUrosd companies of the State were SLSlnrthe law in the hands of an irre- tribunal. We hardly think it KswT to call your Excellency’s atten- Em to the crtoneonsness of such n claim. S? far ss the commissioners themselves are officers, mneern'ed, as far back ts May, 1881, in a SwTthen submitted to the Governor of instate they took occasion to call atten- iw, fo this subject. They then felt as they Sff feel- that the want of the right of di- 21 ;L„i from their decisions greatly tocressed their responsibility Acting nwn this conviction, they have been Tr careful to regulate their con s',, in all cases as to do no in- tnatlce either to the railroads or to r' -'blic. We would not be understood, w«M.as intending to admit that the drht to 'have the decision of the commis sion reversed by the courts does not now *xistnnderthe_ law -Any deciston made To show more particularly and at large whit our views are, we would repectfnlly Invite yonr Excellency’s attention to the following extract from onr last mentioned ^^Vrior to the act of 1879 the common law ri-htot the citlten to be protected against extortion and unjust discrimination ex isted in its fall force: bat the remedy for its violation was wholly inadequate.

While a complaining party ght to have the right of appeal, he should not be left at liberty to indefinitely suspend the action of the commission by a friv olous and wanton exercise of that right. Persons familiar with the iractice of onr courts know iow easily cases may be continued from term to term, and how frequently such continuances result in gross injustice. In the matter under consideration snch an evil should be strictly guarded against. Impressed with the Importance of this w,. do not hesitate to recommend that a sup tuciciuiu, uilcl um that a board ol trade is not sufficiently ju dicial, a court of law not sufficiently in formed and a parliamentary committee not sufficiently permanent, recommended B| HIM H _ __ the appointment of a ‘Railway and Canal the enforcement of the commissioners' amission,’ to consist by any appeal which may be given. The reasonableness ol this view Is sufficiently pointed out in the extracts which we have submitted. We no not think thnt a great Injustice would result from a short delay in Oomhx three persons of high standing, of whom one should he an eminent lawyer anil one a person well acquainted with railway management. "The bill‘followed the recommendations almost verbatim, and became the regula tors of railways, act, 1873.’ “Among other provisions, ‘rallwavcom- mlstloners are absolutely prohibited from holding railway stock of any kind.’ "The act provides (S?5) that ‘for the pur poses of this act the commissioners shall, subject as In this act mentioned, have full power to decide all questions, whether of law or fact,’ and after naming certain exceptions that “save as aforesaid, every decision and order of tbe commission shall be final.’ “The decision of the commission may be made the tule of a Superior Court, in order to its legal enforcement by proper ■“Vers. They are empowered, if they think fit, to state a case in writing for the opinion of any Superior Court, determined by the commissioners upon any question which, in the opinion of the commissioners, is a ucstion of law.” “Thus the law of Georgia is evidently not the wild and unprecedented action some times alleged,whether by analogy with the English law, or by the decision of United States judge. “The sensible views here expressed,as the result of long British experience, have largely been incorporated into the Georgia law. Underit.asitstood.andfarmoreas herein proposed to be amended, tbe rights of railroads are more facile for appeal, and less subject to three men than in Great Britain. At last, however, three men, that very objectionable number, must decide the law. rulings. Under the law, as it now stands, we are required to publish for a certain period any schedule of rates adopted by the commission, and pending such publication such schedule is not of force.

TBR REMEDIES Or TUI CITIZEN. “In the very nature of the case, the cit izen stood at such adisadvantsge. that his rights were merely nominal. To Illustrate: Suppose him to receive a package on which tbe actual freight charge was $1.50, while a just and reasonable rate would be but 11,00. What could be do? Usual ly, be could not wait, but must pay the II50 under protest—ant! bring enlt after ward, If thought It worth his while, for the hiltdoliaroverchsrge, But could he afford todothis? His interest In the matter would notwsrrentthe expense—the costs, fees, witnesses*, tbs discussion of the princi ple) snd facts Involved, as to whst rate woula be reasonable and just in this par ticular case. And only the one case would be settled, after all. The next day a par cel would be charged 73 cents, worth but 50. snit the 23 cents wonld Involve a new suit. Practically, he was obliged to sub mit. Were it a merchant who overcharged him he would trans fer his tiadv to another house. But In dealing with the railroad be Is deal ing usually with a monopoly, unless at a competing point—and now even at snch a point by reason of pooling—and so be was remedifese. A litigation would usually settle bat a single cue—one class—one die- tence-tcircely sny principle at all. “Such was the attitude of the citizen. Consider next THE ATTITUDE Of THE RAILROAD prior to the act of 1879. ’’It had a large Interest In results. In stead of 50 cents multiplied by 1 (the citi zen’s interest) the railroad had 50 cents multiplied by 1,000 or 109,000 as Its inter est. It wonld have also ample experience, and the best legal talent already engaged anj trained, and waiting, and all the ex peris favorablv Inclined. “So unequally were the partlee matched that in tha whole history of the State there bas been (so far as we remember) not one Jingle case of a enlt by a citireu to enforce this common law right—and but one to en force even a statutory right for an over charge. In that case the charter of the railroad in expreee terms limited the rates, jet the railroad fixed its rates beyond the chartered limit—printed them and collect ed them, and was checked by tills suit. “A remarkable commentary on the ab- te-uteworthlc-sness ol rights without rem edies.

So at a train. In the Tilley cue. the Savannah.

Now the decree has set tled the matter, the onus has been changed, and the nes u jiri inn/acis correct. instances be sufficient to enable the party complaining to have the cause adjudicated by the courts. With proper legal provisions for prompt action and speedy bearing before ti e court, we see no right reason why the right of appeal should not be given,so that com plaining parties, whether railroads, indi vidual citizens or communities, might be allowed to enjoy a highly valued constitu tional privilege, while the public interests wonld not necessarily suffer thereby. Bat wo desire to impress upon your Excellency the very great importance of having such appeals finally decided within the shortest period of time consistent with justice to the parties. It bus been the practice of the commis sion to provide that their orders regarding publication shall not go into operation short of thirty (30) days after their adop tion. Experience hu shown ns the wis dom of this practice This period of time we think sufficient to assure appealing par ties their rights In the courts. We wonld therefore respectfully suggest that any amendment of the law giving the right of appeal from the decisions ot the commission should be so guarded as not to allow a suspension of the action of the commission fora period longer than thirty (iO) days. We do not venture to suggest all the special provisions which wonld necessarily enter into legislation on this subject. We deem it sufficient that we should very clearly indicate to yonr Excellency onr opinion as to the propriety of giving the right of appeal to the courts, and the necessity of incorporating into the law the provisions against the evils which might possibly result from any attempt to abase the privilege. The commissioners have had under con sideration the propriety of recommending other changes in the law establishing the commission.

This bill, we wonld remark, was not sub mitted to the commissioners before its in troduction, nor were they consulted with reference to its provisions. The commit tee to whom the hill was referred request ed the commissioners to present their views as to the propriety of recommend ing tbe bill for passage. In response to this request we submitted tbe following changes in the bill for the consideration of the committee and of the General Assem bly: In order to fspeed the cattse, when the complainant filea exceptions, let him In- clnde therein the demand for a jury, if he desires one. When notice Is served on defendant, if be demands a jury, let him give notice, so as to allow the judge to have he jury ready, and to save one useless meeting and ten days' time. Let the parties, jwlth tbe consent of the Judge, set down the ease -for trial at any time within twenty days." In regtrd to tenue— If the exception be made by a citizen, let it be in the county in which an action would lie for any excessive charge, or oth er damage. If made by a r.iiliuau. , C t lU u umib bo the party defendant, in form as it la in fact, and let the Slate grant tha right of •alt, at its own reildence—viz, tbe capital. In no case let the commission be a party, either plalntlffor defendant—being a tribu nal. not a party. The provision in aectlon 2 which makes the union of the commission prima faeit wrong-jiending the litigetion—lnsteed of prima facie right, seems to be Inconsistent with the 3th section Instead of the taper, re-fear,the action of the commission should be regarded, according to section 5, as prima facie correct, until reversed, and a B revision to that etlect Inserted. Otherwise 10 whole effectof tbe lew can be defeated Cores could be brought at criticil peri ods, and continuances cover, ssy tbe whole cotton season. It would be the interest of tbe railroads to protract cues. Tbe citi zen wonld be worse off than at common law; his statutory remedy wonld ba a broken reed, piercing bis own band. Tbe real difficulty underlies all this, and was thoughtfully considered by the com mission before making tbe recommenda tions embodied la the third report. Wore it practicable, the true relation would be, not a supersedeas, but keeping the commission rates of force daring tbe trial, anil then provide that tbe party in fault abould refund the proper difference to the other party.

In that cose, the objection being to the want of jurisdiction, tbe old rates were keptot force until the jurisdiction bad been austalned. Now tbe decree haa set tle-1 the matter, tha onus bas been changed and tbe new rate, are obseived as pnma facie correct. This may be farther illustrated. Tbe matter will not keep; the show will be over too soon—tbe business season. Tbe reasons for tbit policy art much greater, however, than merely to preserve consistency. They are really vital to the efficiency of the whole system. Tbe object of the 8tstc In establishing tbe commission was to have rates fixed by an Impartial tribunal. Daring tbe UUga- tion, which la the more probable rate, that fixed by a disinterested tribamd or by an ioUrasted? In regulating t monopoly, If either party is to fix the rate, why not let the commu nity or citizen occasionally try Its hand? It would fix them too low! The railroad would fix them too high! But In a mo nopoly, why one party rather than the other? A merchant cannot tell what prices to fix srlthout knowing this element—the rate of freight. We could expand this view, but on tbe whole, it Is beat to provide as quick a remedy os possible: meanwhile, leaving both parties to abide for a abort time the beet decision attainable. Tbe Ih itlsh d-cision ts finaL Really, the Tilley case gives an adequate •olutlon. Whilst tbe constitutionality of tbe act and the jurisdiction of tbe com mission was tbe matter in question, the court inspcn-lcd tbe rates. Wben these were established, the rates went on. not waiting foe final trial. The Tiller case illustrates another thing, also—bow delays can defeat tbe whole sys tem.
