f PLAN PERMANENT REGISTRATION I STATUTE Bill Allowing Georgia Voters to Ballot at the County Seats Also Framed. Representative Carl Vinson, of Bald win, speaker pro tern of the house and one of its leading members, will in troduce two bills of extraordinary and far-reaching Importance at the forth coming summer session of the legis- S lature. ' One of Mr. Vinson's bills will provide for the permanent registration of voters in Georgia, and the other will provide that a voter may cast his ballot either In his militia district or at the county ••»+. as he may elect. Both measures likely will be heart!-- Iv supported by many members, and I’t' Is not at all unlikely that both may be come laws. | Undoubtedly there is widespread dis '■l satisfaction with the present registra tion law, and also with the law which ■y restricts a voter to his own militia diS r trict. Vinson Discusses Bills. ’1 am of the opinion." said Mr. Vin son, "that a simple registration law. under which a voter once registered ’ , shall remain registered until he dis s qualifies himself by non-payment of his ’axes. or otherwise, would meet every registration requirement of a fair bal lot and an honest election. The present registration law is utterly unreason able, and so complex that, lawyers dif fer widely as to exactly what it does mean. Registration should be made nn easy matter, not a difficult one. A As to the other proposed law, under ■ the operation of the present statute ■ many voters in rural counties have to ■ f so farther to vote In their militia dls ' trlcts than they would have to go to vote at their county seats. 1 know of » cases where voting st the county scat 4 involves a trip of four miles, as against ■ » trip of fifteen to the voting place ip the required militia district. AH voters should have the unquestioned right to i elect where they will vote. Mr. Vinson proposes to introduce both measures early in the session and to work hard for their passage t SAVANNAH HONG KONG I LINE OF STEAMSHIPS I NOW SEEMS CERTAIN SAVANNAH, GA..

A superficial investigation of the new schedule, known as Southern Classifi cation No. 39. by members of the Geor gia commission has developed the fact that freight rate increases involving millions of dollars annually is contem plated. The Georgia commissioners have pronounced the new schedules ordered for Southern business duplications of the Western schedules recently sus pended by the interstate commerce commission pending an investigation by that body. Sweeping Increases Made. Figures compiled by the Georgia com mission show that 690 increases have been made, against 327 decreases, but the Increases apply on articles most commonly transported and generally used, while the decreases, as a rule, af fect only articles little used. The new Western classification, simi lar to the Southern one. was issued last January. It was discovered at once that from the manifold changes fn classification a general increase in freight rates, aggregating $30,000,000, had been made by Western railroads. An order of suspension from the Fed eral commission was immediately ob tained by Western states. The call for the Atlanta meeting was issued by Chairman Candler, of'the Georgia commission, and assurance has been received that every Southern state, excepting Tennessee and Kentucky , will be represented. The Southern commis sioners expect to get a suspension from the interstate commission similar to that obtained by the Western state;'. Business Men Also Coming. In addition to Southern raHroad com missioners. representatives of nuinii ipal trade bodies from over Georgia and other states will be in attendance at the meeting The following Georgia or ganization: will be represented: The Savannah Board of Trade.
