The consideration of the railroad com

Mr. ShtiQelri, of the Ninth, offered the
following substitute for the amendment
proposed yesterday by Mr McBride:
Amend section 2 by striking out all after
the word ‘concerned.” in the fourteenth
line o( said section, and add the following:
“Anv person, town, city or corporation
affected by the ichednle of rates so estab
lisbed, may, at any time, file with the rail*
road romn’iip"ioners a petition in writing,
in w’nich petition the grocnd of objections
to end schedule ana rates shall be dis
tinctly ept forth. If the ground of com
plaint is that rate on any particular class
of freight is unreasonable or nnjnat,
said petition must set forth clearlv
the rate charged by the railroad,
and also the rate which
the petitioner claims would be a just and
reasonable charge. When such petition is
made end filed with the Railrosd Corarois-
fcion it thall be the duty of laid commission
to cause a copy of said complaint to be
served on said railroad company, or its
agent, and give notice to both parties of the
time ar.d place of the hearing, which (ball
not he in le-s time than ten days from the
tiin° service ie perfected. If at any time
before the hearing the railroads snail so
alter their rates in the matter complained
of as to conform to the rates asked for by
the petitioner, then no bearing shall be
neces ary; bat the petition may be with
drawn by consent of the parties. The
commission shall have power to alter and
amend the rates complained of whenever
they shall Adjudge, after a full hearing,
that the same are unreaionabls and unjaet,

*" Mr. Hantrln, ol the Forty-third, contin
ued Ins argument, suspended yraterdsy
by adj moment. He said he would con
iine l.miat It to the MrBrlde amendment,
which t.e regarded tha main question
now before the Henats. He thought the
amendnien. wnntd prove a better and
ep-.dier remedy thanthatprop aedhythe
bill, aid .ill inuegurateamow simple ays-
ten.. The decision In sny case would only
settle that pis’tlcnlar esse— the case on ep-
peal. It will be Impossible to establish
si c i i rmenent fixed rate or tariff.
M r. Shi (Held explained tb* dillerence ol
methnl prep-sed between hla amendment
■ml He McBride amendment, and urged
its adop'ion.
Mr Aden,ol the Twenty.filtb, wee op-
po-ed to anv legislation on tha subject
He w.s i t- iliem champion ot tbellallroad
Commission nnran enemy of the railroads,
but he thought the lawagcod on* and
ought to stand. If there should be any
change, lie wonld prefer to vote for the bill
as proposed to be amended bv Ur, Uc-
Bride. The recordt in the office of the
the C-ininiirs’nn of their acta and doings
are the rer .rda by which they moat stand
or fall. II the law has been an experi
ment there ebonld be no baste to change
it w hile it ieworkiog good for Ihe public
Interest.
As for the rtght of appeal, be claimed
th*v already the commission 'a awfti-1
nhl* to three power*—1st, the Governor;
2.1 the legislature;31 theooar't.
Th- ot jec* of Henators advocating the
bill Hvir ualty *oahoiihthe commission
—to iitke nw»y their powers till the 0->m«
miN«ton would amount to nothirg. Ini
addition to that they purpose, by abolith|
iiiv- the commission or abridging its pur
er* even teke away the common law
ren.eftv. There hss never been any com.
pleim where the ratlroa<*e have not been
wrong and that the earnings were only
about 1119 ner cent, on the capital stock.
M. Allen did not know that. From the
reply of the commissioners made to Mr.
Raoul, it was clearly shown • bat the fig
ures of Mr. Raoul were wrong, and that
the net earnings were as first stated ny the
commissioners. Mr. Allen read a number
of extracts from that reply.
In reply to the complaint that the com
mission is driving capital oat of the State,
and that no railroads are being bull*, be
read from the Railway Age. showing that
Georgia was seventh ont of twenty-five
States in railroad building, the first six
months ot 1895, flfty-ihree mile* of rjad
being built. Farther, that during the five
years nreceding the commission leas than
100 miles of rrlroad track was laid. In
the five years since the establishment of
the commission over 000 miles of road has
been batlv, and more of the stock of rail
roads taken by foreign capital at a higher
rate than anv other five years in the his
tory of the Bta*e. He charged that if any
foreign capital has been kept out cf the
State l* has been due to the business de
pression and not to the commission.
He said the railroads threaten that if
tbia bill did not pass, or some relief be
given, they would join the Republican
party, ally themselves with the negroes,
and get control of the machinery of the
State, and then do what they pleased. He
referred to such a statement as having
been made by Mr. Maddox ol the Forty-
second.
Mr. Maddox rose to say that he said no
such thing.
Mr. A'len said he understood him to
make r.bstantia'ly that statement, and
certainly that he apprehended the coming
about ot such a condition of things.
Mr. Colley, of the Twenty-nimh, chair
man cf the committee reporting the sub
stitute, thought the bill ought to be con
sidered fairly and impartially. There is
no doubt there are grave defects in the
law which ought to be remedied. The
8enator from the Twenty fifth had said he
wanted the law to stand aa it la. in apife
of the frequent recommendations by the
commission itself that there ought to be
some Irgislation on the subject, and in
■pite of th* opinion of neariy every one
who has Inveaiieated the question. The
commission is under no cbecka and has no
limitation to its powers, and la more auto
matic and arbitrary than the Czar of Rus
sia. There ia no ippe«l from its decision,
in spite of the claim made by the oppo
nents of the bill. Neither appeal to the
Governor, to the Leglnatnre or to the
courts. Thay cannot be brought before
the Legislature except for removal by im
peachment, and Senators who were here in
1878-70 know the coat, the delay and the
f reat difficulty of that mode of procedure,
n reply to Mr. Allen, who contended
that the commission had not in-
jilted the railroads. Mr. Colley as
serted that the commlss'on had in
flicted the direst irjuriea to
railroads in Georgia. The commission
have repeated on tb® condition of railroads
without ever examining or inspecting
them, and after positive]? MfOJl"* todu
so. He explained ia detail what lh-» tali'
road officials were forced to do in examin
ing the road, the varions property, the
hosines" ol every office, before they (vw*'£

have been stopped and abandoned by the

Pending Mr. Colley’s argument, the boar
of adjournment arrived, and tj>e Senate
adjourned to 3:30 p. m.
AFTERNOON SISilOX.
Mr. Colley continued bis argument on
the Railroad Commission bill. He press
ed the line that the comtuladon, as It now
Is, menses, all railroad development and
makes Impossible or impractio.tde the
many enterprises now contemplated by
the people of Georgia. He added to the
Hat which he •ubmltted this morning II.
attacked the arstem of figures adopted by
Mr. Allen, ol the Twenty fifth, tote morn
ing, In getting at the Income of rallroade.
He claimed tnat the sums spent In actual
and necessary lmp'ovemtnt should not be
Included ia the estimate ol ne> earnings.
We want good roads and want tbaru kept
Id good condition. This Item of improve-
meats Is entirely Ignor-d la the tabular
statement made by the commission, on
which the opponents of the otll seemed to
rely.
He was to favor of the Railroad Com
mission, bat hs did not want Ibat commit
•Ion so have absolute and arbitrary con
trol of the Immense railroad property of
this State. While he favored the commis
sion operated under wholranme r.sirtc
Hone, he would teener tea It abolished out
right than remain as It is.
In reply to the Senator from the Twenty-
fifth, who reflected upon the good faltn of
tne sub-committee on railroads, be review
ed the appointment of the committee, the
Invitation to the com t itt.e to join in the
Investigation, their rrlaral and detailed the
further oonduot of the committee until the
work was finished, which showed tne com
mittee to have been conscten'loaa and sin
cere, as well at lalthlnl and earnest In the
dlscli uge of Its duties.
He hoped the time wonld come when
onr State folly developed, when there
wool-1 be a net work of railroads over th.
Bute, and the sound of the steam whistle
be beard over ila length and breadth. H.
therefore earnestly hoped the bill would
pe.e,
Mr, Glenn, of Ihe Forty-fourth, opposed
the adoption of the amendment, as not
on>y detrimental to the commission, bat
unconstitutional. The commission was
not intended to boa con-t and the courts
have refused to taka cognizance of any
matter* growing out ofli. 11 is In the na

More than or.ee it baa allowed tha railroads

the rail roads would bankrupt If the law la
ati-iwt-l to aland as It now le, and
Ihst they are not making money, Mr.

Mr.Faillgat.'. repl ed asking HheSenator
did not know that Mr. It soul bad showed
fhat Maj m Wallace's figures wire entirely
advanced tbe ratea on classes C, I) and P,
did they not merely advance to just and
reasonable rates, when tbev were before
unjust and unreasonable? He stated that
tbe railroads bad reduced the original
rates on G, D and Fgto enaole tbe
Weitern lines to compete with the
lines running East durlciv a great
railroad war, aud not that the
redaction was just or reasonable.
The commission took advantage ot that
redaction so made and came In and estab
lished the redaction as a just and reasons-
b'e rate. From that poinion tbe commis
sion was forced to recede, and so the
•dvancs referred to was granted.
Tbe speech made by Mr. Allen, of the
Twcoty-llfth, was limply a recapitulation
of the letters pnblUbed by Major Wallice,
which were crusbmgly replied to by Pres!
dent Rsonl, of OieOutrai railroad system.
The argument of Mr. Allen was not a fair
one, being based en drily upon statistics
aud excerpts I rom only one side lor- ply
to the claim that the condition
of the railroads was the result of
business depression, and not due to
the commlasfon, be showed that the ton
nage had largely Increased, the business
ol tbe roads bad largely increased, but the
rates had been greatly reduced, and ihe
legitimate income cut down. He referred
to the sfngolar fact that the commission
direct, all of Its strength against the Cen
tral railroad system—and Major Wallace
has poured out all (he vials of his wrath
against the Central. But on every paint
where he has beee'met by Presld-nt Raoul
be has been forced lo go down before bis
unanswerable replies. He quoted from
the figures given by Major
Wallace and showed how un
reliable and Inaccurate they are.
Mr. Rankin inqnired if he understood
the Senator from the First to say that he
bad Ihe letter from the chairman of the
commission declining, the Invitation to
participate in the Invrat'giUon to be made
by tbe suh-commlttee.
Mr. F.lllgant—''Yes, I have tbe letter "
Mr. Rankin—"Was a reason given for
declaring?’’
Mr. Falllgant—“Yes, I have the letter,
and will read it.” The letter was read.
Mr. Rankin askedwho paid tor the ex
penses of lnvestigitlon into the system of
bookkeeping and the condition of tbe
Central railroad.
Mr Falllgant stated that when the com
mittee had selected an expert, one of tbe
roost distinguished in the country, the
Central railroad, through President Raoul,
notified the committee that they desired
and would gladly pay the exp-nses ol that
investigation. Mr. Rsonl mrnished tbe
money which was by him (Mr. Falligant)
paid to tbe expert. 4,
Mr. Rankin stated that his motive itrask-
ing the question was not to Impute any
wrong to the committee in that transac
tion, because he thought it right
and proper, and approved
ol it, but he desired Information of tbe
fact, because another committee bad been
sever* 1 '’ ort loieed for doing the same thing.
Hr. FalHfitnt rrpiieil !•>** <•'<> not «h-
ct to the question. He tiptcltd It Would
s made, and had rooked for it earlier, and
bad been ready to answer It.
Mr Cahaoiss said the Senator from the
Fortv-thlrd had been in the earns boat on
another committee. .
Mr. Falllgant reviewed the If-Sel argu
ments made by the opposition, and
replied to them in detail. He explain
ed tie effect the pasasge of the hill would
have on the powers and dntles ol the com
mission. He believed It would correct all
defects in tbe law, and wonld remove from
it alt the real or Imsginary leg'sl -live end
constitutional questions affecting the com
mission. Bat It tbe •menrtmetit ottered
by Mr. McBride was adoptid, It would
leave the law practically where it le now.
Pending tbe argument of Mr. Falllgant
tbe Senate adjourned.

The House met and called to order
by the Speaker, and opened with prayer
by the chaplain.
M r. Braudt, at the evening session. In
troduced a bill amendlrg section 719(e) of
tha code making the eelary ol railroad

taken up, aud the Houae went into e-m-
raittee n( tbe whole, Mr. Rusaell, of Har

Messrs. Calvin and Perry favored and
Mr. Hall opposed the bill.

Messrs. Bartlett, Boyd and Russell, ot

Mr. Harris moved tnat the committee
rite and recommend that it do pass.
Mr. Hines otlecelas a aabstltute that It
do not psss, and sustained bis motion in
an earnest manner.
Mr. Harrell, ot Webster, favored the mo
tlon, aud fn doing so made a personal ex
planation aa to hla record during tbe deya
of reconatruetlon that he supposed to be
Impugned in tbe remarks ol Mr. McLen
don on yesterday.
Meiers. Hart Harrison end McLendon
onposed tbe motion. Mr. McLendon ex
plained bis speech of yea ter day.
Tbe motion was lost.
Mr. Harrle'a motion lo recommend
I'a passage was adopted by yeas 70, nays

ihe commission. Under tha constitution
it ia the duly of the Legislature to make
these rate*, to regulate lb* tariff of rail
roads, so as to prevent unjust discrimina
tions, o* to ref-r the matter ro a commis
sion gly log It tha proper and neoesaary
powers. Ths commission hss been Mtab
fished, and It would be unconstitutional
to allow an appeal from lit decision to tba
courts, and It would be wroeg to do so o
general principles. Mr. Glenn bald that-..
would bw wrong to appeal from tbe decia
ton of the threw exp-iienctd commiistoo
eie. skilled id the matters concerned, toons
judge, who know* nothing ot such railroad
matters, and who art not required to be
familiar with them. He hoped the powers
of ths commission would not be cut off,
aud he believed tne law was Impregnable,
and would not be disturbed by the Legis
lature. If the oommlutooera have be
come partisan, partisan In favor ol tba
people aa against tba railroads, then an
appeal ought to be made to tbe Governor,
to tb* Legislature, to have them removed.
No better > caaon would be n ipilred by the
Governor, no better reason Wanted by the
Legislature, lo remove them Irani the of-
fice. Mi-. Gleon raised tbe point in bis ar
gument that tha ’Tittle •ub-eommluee"
was iaformally sent ont to settle a diipme
between Preeideot Raoul and Major Wal
lace, aud waa not appointed by U>« Leglt-
lature.
Mr. Colley corrected Mr. Glenn on that
point by reading ft om the Senate jontnal
of tbe winter aesaion, In which the report
of tbe general railroad committee ap
pointing tha tab-committee was adopted
and endorsed. Mr. Glenn yielded tbe
point, bat etUl held that It wags "little
committee," became It made an exparte
Investigation. He read from tba Tilley
ease, quoting from tbw decision of Judea
Woods,that tbe delegation to tbe commia-
•ion of tbe powen to fix and regulate ratea
and Ire’gbt tariffs waa not Inconsistent
with the constitution of tba United Biatea
nor the couetitutton of the Bute of Geor
gia. He thought if tbe amendment was
adopted or the bill, that we might as will
abolish the commission. He hoped tha
amendment would not be adopted.
Ihe chair ruled that tbe only question
before tb* Senate waa tb* amendment of
fered by Mr. McBrfda. Tb* amende ent
offered by Mr. Sheffield would not be con-
side red until the first had bees dlepoiad of.
Mr. Falllgant said be desired to reply to
aosne of tne argument* mid* on th*
■ “ * “ * ’ vote wet
that often vll'ages and towns will exclude
whisky from their limits, and persons en-
giged In the bu-inc-s will Just go oatatde
and establish the nuisance, t hese parlies
ought to be compelled to get the consent of
the land owners lnteres'ed.
M r. Falllgant stated that until this morn
ing he thonght it nedrrstood that the bill
did not tppy to Incorporat'd towns. Tnat
wonld be a grave objection. He had not
desired to say aoy thing against tbebill.aod
would not now tfthebillwaeso amended as
not to apply to Incorporated t iwne and vil
lages. Mr. Nortbsn said he wonld accept
such an amendment, which was then ot.
fered.
Mr. Northen proposed farther ta amend
by t'riking om ' five of the nearest land
owners ” aud Insert "ten of tbe nearest
bo no fide residents, five of orhnm shall he
land-owners." The amendments ss pro-
poied were adopted end the bill pasted.
The rules were suspended f- r the purpose
of taking no and patting nn Its passage the
general reglstra ion bill. Tba bill bad been
previously acted npon adversely by tbe
Benito and reconsidered. The bill was
retd.
Mr. Allen, ol the Twenty-fifth, asked
leave to withdraw an amendment offered
by him requiring the regletretlon law to be
recommended by one grand jury before It
•hall become opera'ire in any county.
Leave was granted aud the amendment
was wit- drawn.
Mr. McBride proposed to amend by add
ing a new section providing that the law
shall not become operative In any connty
until recommended by two successive
grand juries. The amendment was
adopted,
Mr. Rsy, of the Thirty-sixth, opposed
the pas-age of tbe bill. He bad opposed
it when it was first c nsldered in the Sen
ate, and he was more earneat'y opposed to
tbe bill now. He tnougbt it was a ruinous
bill. He opposed it on the ground of tbe
expense ol compensating tha registrars
and tbe cost of registration books in the
various counties. He made an eittmate
of the cost over tbe State, aggregating over
$20,090.
Mr Northen asked if he didn’t think the
bill sufficiently guarded by leaving it to
two aucceisive grand jnries.
Mr. Rsy replied tbat tbe bill is unwise,
and tbe matter ought not to be left to grand
juries.
Mr. Allen asked if theSeuatorknew how
much the State lost annually in the non
payment of taxes by the lack of a proper
registration law.
Mr. Rsy answered tbat be did not think
the Stale lost a great deal, and would not
gtin a great deal by tbe establishment of
ibis law. He nrgid, fnrtber, tbat there
was objection to tbe bill in tbe matter of
certificates of registration. Ia tha careless
haodlir g of papers these certificates would
beear-ily lost.
Mr Cabaniss asked the Senatorlf he had
read th« bill.
Air. Ray raid he had.
Mr. Cabaniss referred to the provision fn
the bill covering the point made providing
(or duplicates.
Mr. Ray thought It did not remove the
objection.
Mr. Rdiseil, of the Eigitb, thought at
first he wou-d favor tbe bill with certain
amendments, but on nflectlon he could
cotapppnt It. He objected to tb* Co t it
would impose on hit own county, and gave
an estimate of the coat. He thought there
waa no necessity for it. Onr rleciio s re
salted well enoagh. He looked arou d
npon tbe Senate aud raw so many good
men and true sent here by the people to
reprrs-nt th-m tbat he was compelled to
say tbat tbe present system operated well
enough.
Mr. Davidson, as a member of two com
mittees to whom the bill had been re-
erred, explained the porltlon of tbe
bdl and reviewed Its history. The
R resent measure had been recommended
y these committees, alter very care-
(oily investigating tne whole qneitlon,
ths necessity for such Irgislation and the
beat system ihat conlil be devised. In re-
y to the opinion rxpre-eed by one of tb*
•natore that grand jonei w*ra net com
petent or fit to determine whether tbe law
•bah become operative in any county, be
paid a blgh tribute t • the grand jnrlee.thelr
uprightnees and tntelligenoe.tbe Important
questions and publlo lutereata that the law
lu-poe-i upon them, and thought notbing
could be ttjore fit and appropriate theu
tbat the matter should be submitted to the
grand juries of tbe State.
Atier ihe Senate returned (tom tbe joint
session Mr Russell, ol the eighth, re
sumed hla argument nn the pending bill,
bat concluded without going into any ex
tended oontidaratlon ot It.
Sir. D«y, ot the Forty.flrit, called tbe
previous question, which prevailed.
The bill oassed by a vote of yeaa 28.
