CANDLER BILL UP IN
HOUSE FOR PASSAGE
Continued from Page One.
ot the present commissioner expiring on
October 15, 1909, shall be extended to
December 1, 1909,'the term of the pres,
ent commissioner expiring on October
15, 1911, shall be extended to Decem
ber 1. 1911, and the term of the com
missioner expiring Oct. 15, 1913. shall
be extended to December 1. 1913, their
respective successors to be elected for
full terms of.six years each.
Mr. Candler, of DeKalb, spoke In fa
vor of the adoption of the amendment
proposed by the committee. ,
He declared thut the committee did
not tnko hasty action In proposing an
Increase In the membership of the rail
road commission, but had devoted four
afternoons to Its consideration.
Mr. Candler declared that the United
States court should have Just as much
right to enjoin tho reading of a bill the
thlr time ns it should to set aside the
ruling of the railroad commission, ex
cept In cases which such oredr amount
ed to a confiscation.
Trivial Appeals.
lie declared that| appeals from the
rulings of the commission were not
always based, on strict law, but are
frequently bnsed on trivial matters.
Mr. Hall, of Bibb, asked If there was
anything In the bill compelling obe
dience pending litigation.
“I will answer that In due time when
I come to It," replied Mr. Candler.
Mr. Candler stated that the present
commission has urged the legislature
to enact a law which will compel ob
servance of their rulings pending liti
gation.
They have told, us that appeals have
been delayed and have cost the state
great sums of money.
For six years the commission has
urged that they be given the same au
thority over telephone and telegraph
companies that they have over rail
roads and this bill gives them that.
"But It goes further. It gives them
tho same authority over street car lines,
docks, wharves, tennlnnls and terminal
stations, etc. The commission has not
asked that this be done, but Is It rad-
leal?
All these corporations are. public
utility corporations and the commission
should be allowed to exercise the same
authority over them that they exer
cise over railroad companies.
“The commission has also asked au
thority to compel side tracks, spur
tracks and physical connections and
this bill gives It to them."
Mr. Candler took up each of the sec
tions of the bill and discussed the mer
its of each at some length.
In reply to a question from Mr. Boyd,
of Spalding, as to why the member
ship of the railroad commission should
be Increased from three to five, Mr.
Candler said:
"That Is a very small matter, and
If you strike out that amendment you
will not destroy the primal object of
this bill.
"I am In favor of having five com
missioners because they will be en
trusted with the regulation of 1250,-
000,000 of property.
“People Get Fooled.”
If the commissioners were not elect
ed by the people. It might be a different
matter, but the people some time get
footed—not all the time—as Abe Lin
coln said, but sometimes, and with five
commissioners you can have a business
man, a farmer, a lawyer, a railroad
man and a mechanic, and I submit that
five men would be better qualified to
cope with the larger responsibilities
placed upon' them than three men
would.”
Mr. Candler concluded his remarks
by urging tho commute not to take
hasty action upon the amendments
recommended by the committee.
Mr. Hall, of Bibb, followed Mr. Can
dler In the discussion of the bill.
He declared that there Is no personal
feeling In regard to the bill and that
there-are.certain features of It which
he favors.
Mr. Hall declared that the bill makes
no provision for enforcing the rulings
of the railroad commission pending liti
gation In the courts.
At 12:66 o'clock Mr. Candler moved
that the committee rise, report progress
and ask leave to sit again.
The motion prevailed and the house
adjourned at 1 o'clock to meet again
at 3 o’clock Thursday afternoon, at
which time the discussion of the bill
was resumed.

And who ever heard of the boys coming through summer with
too many wash suits? They will wear out the best of them, as
you know. And the shoddy o'ues—well, you know that cheap
ly made boys’ clothing never gave any one the worth of the
money paid, no matter how little.
That’s why Muse’s is so very particular, especially with
wash suits.
