Says ‘the Boston Herald: Un-~
doubtedly red letter boxes will be
more conspicuous than green ones.
That is why the fire alarm bhoxzes are
painted red. Let's hope the re
adorned red letter boxes won’t lead
to confusion. Trying to put in an
alarm on a red letter box might lead
to delay in quenching the incipient
conflagration,
‘According to the Ilorida Times-

be a strong demand for this country’s
products abroad as well as at home,
With money pouring into the country

American farmer will be prosperous
and the whole country will start on
another career of busy trade and
expanding industries.

* Noting the significant decrease in

Post says: If the publishers can do.
anything to keep booksellers alive,
they will deserve well of the republic
of letters. But the publishers cans
not bear the burden alone, The rest
of us also have a duty to discharge,
A well stocked and intelligently man
aged book shop may be regarded as
an important public institution, It
deserves consideration and support

And, twénty years ago) it was regard

EXTRA SESSION OF LEGISLATURE PROCEEDINGS
IN THE HOUSE.
Mr, Alexander of DeKalb presented
to the house an amendment to the
Holder convict lease bill:
This amendment is to bhe written
into the constitution of the state to
prevent any lapse hy the legislature
into the business of conviet leasing
once it is wiped out,
The amendment also looks to the
construction by the state of a sys
tem of improved public highways, con
necting every county site in the state.
To cover the expense, sections 3 and
12 of article 7 of the constitution are
to be amended so as to provide a“spe
cial tax of not more than 5 cents on
the SIOO. The limit of such bond is
sue is placed at an amount that could
be paid off, principal and interest, by
the proceeds from this tax in thirty
years, .
A move to institute proceedings of
ifmpeachment against the members of
the prison commission was made in
the ~{}lousxe of representatives Thurs
day, when Mr, Crawford of Bartow
and Mr, Jackson of Jones introduced
resolutions looking to this end. Mr.
Crawford’s resolution provided for the
appointment of a committee of five
to prefer charges against the mem
bers of the prison commission. Both
resolutions were referred to the gen
eral judiciary committee, but no meet.-
ing of that committee was called.
The Friday morning session\ot the
house opened with a bill and a reso
lution directed at the state prison
commission. The bill was introduc
ed by Representative White of Screv
en, and after seeking to abolish the
present commission, provides for the
establishment of a board of control
of the Georgia penitentiary. It was
referred, at the request of its author,
to the committee on general judici
ary.
The convict bill of Representative
Holder of Jackson, which passed the
house at the regular session of the
general assembly, was again adopted
in somewhat amended form by that
body Thursday afternoon by a vote
of 99 to 58.
The Holder bill provides that upon
the expiration of the present lease
system on March 31, 1909, the founda
tion of a fund shall be begun which
will be used for working all the fel
ony and misdemeanor convicts of the
state on the public roads, Counties
and municipalities will have the priv
ilege of using them for this purpose,
beginning April 1, 1909, the remainder
to be leased out to individuals until
December 31, 1911. After the latter
date no convicts whatever shall be
leased to private parties,
IN THE SENATE. |
One bill and three substitutes were
presenied in the senate regarding a
reformation in the present convict
lease system and the prison commis
sion Thursday, After adopting the
report of the penitentiary committee,
the senate heard the Felder bill for
its third reading, When it was put
on its passage, Senators Boyd, Brock
and Born each introduced a substi
tute, 3 ’

Before the bill had come up for its
first reading, the signatures of twen
ty-three members of the upper house
had been affixed to it, insuring their
support and its passage through the
senate. Their stand was unanimous
except 'regarding the provision for
abolishment of the prison commis
sion. Some of the signers of the bm(
reserved the right to object to that‘
part of the substitute if they desired
to do so. ’ ]
The bill is one of the most compre
hensive that has yet been offered in
solution of the question that is troub-’
ling the state, one of its most inter
esting features being the Jevying of
an income tax, |
If it is finally enacted it will abolish |
the prison commission on October l.f
1908. i
It will create a prison board, con
sisting of the governor, the attorney
general and the commissioner of agri
culture, giving to that board the same
powers and authority now vested lnl
the prison commission, except in so
far as those powers are inconsistent
with the substitute, '
It will put the felony convicts ony

viets, l
It will prohibit the working of any
convicts for private parties, specify

in the raising of supplies for the whole

It will recognize three sources of
revenue for support of the system—
the lease money under present con
tracts, until those” contracts expire;
an annual income tax of half a mill
on the dollar; and a specific tax of
S2OO per annum for the sale of “imi
tation beer” and SSOO per annum for
its manufacture, . i
- Regarding the tax on “imitation
beer,” it provides thaf “this tax shall
not, however, be taken as legalizing
the sale of any malt liquors or other
tntoxicating beverage, and shall not
‘in any way affect the provision of the
law prohibiting the sale of such.” |
Under the prison board, and to be

a superintendent of penitentiaries at
$4,000 er annum; a state road commis
gloner at $2,500 per annum; a clerk

Makes Many Important Rulings
of Interest to Shippers:
Permission is Declined the Georgia Rail
road to Increase Passenger Rate
1-4 Cent a Mile.
’
Atlanta, Ga.—The state railroad
commission has decided to take a
hahd in the fight against the increas
ed rates ordered by the railroads on
grain, hay and provisions coming into
Georgia and other southern territory
from Ohio and Mississippi river cross
ings,
The commission has issued an or
der directing its special attorney,
Judge James K. Hines, to prepare and
present to the i#nterstate commerce
commission an appeal for relief from
the excessive rates which the rail
roads are seeking permanently to im
pose,
This action on the part of the com
mission will be learned with much
gratification by the shippers of the
state who had reason to believe, as
the result of an action on the part
of that body, some time ago, that
they would be left to make the fight
single-handed.. Now that they are to
have the support of the state, strength
and encouragement will be lent to
their cause,
The increased rates apply on class
es B, C. D and F.from Ohio and
Mississippi river crossings, and were
made effective August 1, There is no
way of estimating what additional ex
pense these increases put upon the
shippers of Georgia, but by some it
has been put as high as $1,000,000
annually, e
The railroad commission has declin
ed the petition of the Georgia Rail
road company fox.' permission to in
crease its rate of passenger fare from
2 1-4 to 2 1-2 cents per mile. The de
cision was based upon the ground
that the increase was not warranted
by the facts presented in evidence to
support the petition.
Instead of the road’s having lost
money, it was stated before the com
mission that its earnings for the first
six months of 1908 showed a substan
tial increase over those of the same
six months of 1907, though the latter
year had prior to this time been the
banner year in its history.
The commission also directed the
Central of Georgia Railway company
to operate ité Griffin passenger train
which now runs daily between Grif
fin and Bremen on its Chattanooge
division, between Griffin and Cedar
town for a period of six months on
trial, at the end of which time the
commission will decide whether it
will require a continuance of the
‘new schedule or not.
This change was made to accommo
.date the people living along this line
between Bremen and Cedartown who
now have only one train a day each
‘way, while those on all other portions
;)t_the,llne have ta dogble daily sery
. It was contended that this in-
Mflnm &nyldmfifiiffigfim%‘
asked that the change be ordered. The
Central contends that it would lose
nmoney through the new schedule.
