REGISTRATION
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
ona of its leading members, will in
troduce two bills of extraordinary and
far-reaching Importance at the forth
coming summer session of the legis
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
seat, as he may elect.
measures likely will be hearti
ly supported by many members, and it
» /Is. not at all unlikely that both may be
eome lavra.
-Undoubtedly there is widespread dis
«tlsfaotion with the present registra
tion law, and also with the law which
restricts a voter to his own militia dis
trict.
Vinson Discusses Bills.
’7 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
qualifies himself by non-payment of his
taxes, or otherwise, would meet every
registration requirement of a fair bal
'<Aand 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
an easy matter, not a difficult one.
"As to the other proposed law. underi
the operation of the present statute
many voters in rural counties have to
go farther to vote in their militia dis
tricts than they would have to go to
vote at their county seats. T know of
cases w'here voting at the county seat
involves a trip of four miles, as against
a trip of fifteen to the voting place In
ur g required militia district. All voters
•Auld have the unquestioned right to
elect where they will vote.
Mr. Vinson proposes to Introduce
both measures early in the session and
to w'ork hard for their passage.

ATLANTA IS NOW HUB
OF RAILWAY RATE WAR
State railroad commissioners repre
senting the entire South will meet in
Atlanta on Monday to urge the inter
state commerce commission to suspend
the new Southern freight classification,
effective June 17, until a tlforougli in
vestigation of its provisions can be
made.
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,
in 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 states.
Business Men Also Coming.
In addition to Southern railroad com
missioners, representatives of municipal
trade from over Georgia and
other states will bo in attendance at the
meeting. The following Georgia or
ganizations will bo represented The
Savannah Board of Trade, Macon
Chamber of Commerce, Columbus
