Savannah, Gainesville and
Atlanta All Want Rcp-
Tcsentation.
It la the general opinion that the
amendment to the railroad commle-
slon bill, prohibiting the appointment
of anyone engaged In mercantile or
manufacturing pursuits that benefit
from freight rate reduction*, will pre
clude the naming of Snm D. Jones,
head of the Atlanta Stove works, as
one of ftie railroad commission. Mr.
Jones declines to talk ot his eligibility
of his appointment.
That Hon. J. Pope Brown will be
tendered one of the new place* Is cer
tain, but whether or not he will re
cede from his declaration that he will
not accept the appointment, remains to
be seen. It Is known that Qovemor
Smith Is especially anxious to have Mr.
Brown as one of the new members.
Savannah Is urging A. B. Moore for
one of the places. That city believes
It Is entitled to representation on the
board. The talk that Commissioner O.

not given much weight.
Gainesville people are urging John
A. Smith, a retired merchant of that
place, for one ot the positions on the
commission. A monster petition will
be presented lo the governor urging the

LITTLE ROADS SAY
BIG ONESBEAT 'EM
Complain To Railroad Com
mission That Deal’s
Not Square.
Informal .complaint has been made
to the railroad commission that the big
trunk lines of the state refuse to pro
rate hauls to the short lines, thus vis
iting great hardships on the weaker
roods.
As the Jssue Involves a question of
Interstate freight and passenger rates
the matter Is one for action tfy the In
terstate commerce commission, and the
Georgia railroad commission inuy take
the ease up to that body.
According to the complaint mndo by
some of the smaller lines thcabig roads
absolutely fix the proportion of rates
going lo them on all hauls, even when
the shipments originate with the short
lines. Unless the small lines agree lo
accept this arrangement and route as
directed. It Is charged that the big
lines decline to accept shipments from
them.
This practice Is directly contrary to
the rules of the Interstate commerce
commission, as'that body protects the
weaker roads fully, but It Is said that
the short lines are afraid to enter
formal complaints.
It Is said that If the case as alleged
le proven against the big lines that
heavy^flnes will 'accrue;
