The Atlanta Georgian: • Dear Sirs—We inclose you a letter which Is self-explanatory. We would be glad to have you publish It In your Issue of this afternoon, as It is of con siderable value to the commission movement, in that It shows a.perfect willingness upon the part of the com mittee to have any recount of the post cards that may be desired by any one , It also exposes a cheap political trick. Yours truly, IA. J. WEST. {victor L. SMITH, Committee on legislation. Atlanta, Ga., July 25. < Mr. W. H. Terrell. City: Dear Sir—Wq are Informed that you, purporting to represent a committee from some source (we do not know what), suggested to our chairman, Mr. Watkins, your desire to have a recount of the voters petitioning for the sub mission of the commission charter to the city of Atlanta. We also understand that you have ..jprofiched certainly two of the repre sentatives from the county of Fulton requesting that the commission charter be not Introduced until this recount should be had. As stated, we do not know what of ficial body you represent, nor how your supposed committee was created, and assume that It springs from the oppo sition to the commission charter, which Is almost entirely composed of the of fice-holding element. / It has been stated repeatedly by dif ferent members of the city council, and In the public prints by other*olficfc hold ers, that the commission charter would be killed in the legislature and the peo ple would never have an opportunity to vote upon that Issue. Indeed, council, without discussion, .by a majority vote, ruled that It would not permit the voters of this city to determine for themselves whether they desired the commission charter or not. When tho charter was presented to the local legislative representatives by this coipniitteo*ln charge, those repre sentatives agreed that they would -In troduce and advocate the enactment of the bill, provided twenty per cent of tho registered voters petitioned to that ef fect. The general committee of cltlxens acceded to the soundness of this posi tion and immediately Incurred the ex pense of Issuing postcards to the voters. These returned cards expressing the de sire of the voter to have the commission charter Introduced and adopted havo several days since passed tho twenty per cent mark. The checking of these cards against the registration lists was done by n competent force of honest ment, honestly bent upon determining whether the twenty per cent neces sary was obtained. Nearly 150 addi tional voters were checked to cover any possible mistakes, and the remaining cards (some 600 or 700 in number) were not checked against the registra tion list, as it was not necessary. The terms upon which the local rep resentatives agreed to Introduce and advocate the charter wero compiled with and the elements prescribed by them, to wit, a certificate from a per fectly .reputable gentleman to tho ef fect <hat the requisite per cent had been obtained, was likewise furnished the representatives. This has been ac- cepted and It Is agreed that the bill shall be Introduced Wednesday. Thus, we havo compiled with the stipulations of the contract entered into with the local representatives. Under the circumstances, and In view of tho facts that the opposition to tho commission charter Is resorting to practically every known method In Its attempt to keep the people from pass ing upon whether the commission char ter shall be adopted or not, and that the session is half over, and any delay would bo dangerous to the bill, and In view of the additional fact that you and your allies know the type and charac ter of men who were in charge of tho Issuance of the postcardi and their count, wo can see nothing In your re quest but an attempt tQ carry out the published threat that the bill would be killed In the legislature and the people deprived of the right to express their wish. It Is now up to you and yous committee to carry out your threats and kill It In the legislature. Under these circumstances, we can not consent that the Introduction of the bill shall bo delayed, as every require ment of the local representatives has been honestly and fairly met and com piled . with. But, without delaying the introduc tion or the passage of the bill. If you, « any reputable committee from any class of Atlanta citizenship, desire to test the question of -whether' we have in fact obtained twenty per cent of the registered Voters, we will cheerfully ac. cord the‘opportunity to make this aminatlon. If. after the examination has been made in proper sHape and way, It should be ascertained that the twenty per cent Is not In hand, the general committee representing the citizenship of Atlanta qrlll request the local repre sentatives to withdraw the bill. You flave no evidence and no suspi cion well founded thnt the count-which •we caused to be made Is Inaccurate or unfair In any respect, and we regard the purported desire to have a recount ns a meA political trick to prevent tho people from overwhelmingly indorsing tho commission charter. 1 This letter will be acceptable to and abided by both our general chairman.

The proposal, thru Senator Felker's amendment to the state constitution, to go back to the old method of guberna torial appointment of Judges of the su preme, appellate and superior courts and solicitors general, probably tho most sweeping measure thus far con sidered by the senate, brought forth a general debate Tuesday In the senate. The bill provides that upon the fa vorable action of the legislature, the question go to the people for vote at the next election. Only this referen dum clause saved the bill more vigor ous opposition. Senator Felker, the first to speak, spoke for his bill to "take the Judiciary out of politics." "The people of Georgia want to go back to the old system. They havo tried tho new and found It wanting," he said. Senator Roberts, chairman of the general Judlclayy committee, opposed the bill. "The people," ho said, "will never surrender the right they have secured to eleqt their Judges. There can bo as much politics injected/in the system of gubernatorial appointment. A gov ernor could, if ho desired, build up a political ring thru this old system. Why should the people W’ho elect the Judges have a disrespect for them?" Senator Sheppasd Introduced an amendment placing the election of Judges in tho hands of* tho general as sembly Instead of the governor. Ho thought that tho popular election placed tho Judiciary In politics of the "rough-and-tumble" variety. Senator Grdham suggested that the Solution of tho question was In Sena tor Harris' rotation bill now pending before the general Judiciary committee. Senator Harris' bill provides for tho division of the state Into three districts —northern, middle and southern—and tho rotation of superior coqrt Judges in these general divisions. Senator Har ris defended his rotation bill os the so lution. Several • speakers brought out the point that people always ratify a con stitutional amendment approved by the legislature, because the politicians cloud the Issue. Mr. Sheppard’s amendment wps lost REMEMBER The aldermanic system is not practi cal because it doesn’t carry out the wishes of the people living under it—and the peo ple have no way of .forcing it to do so. It deserves our gratitude for its mag nificent errors. By means of those errors we arc taught to look for something bet ter—something that more nearly meas ures up to our civic needs. We find it in the Commission form. It’s an evolution—and. evolution is the law of life. That’s the terrible truth poli ticians and all obstructionists must learn to accept. The serious, thoughtful, earnest stu dents of the times know that the public will sooner or later have what it wants. Pump popular sentiment and you’ll find that the public asks for Commission government.
