Simplification Wanted. Famous Rail Heads and l awyers Attend L. & N. Suit in the Federal Court Here. Mot ‘ ** . * !5 V: : * :■ >—• mm Subdued expressions around the State Capitol indicate a general de sire among officeholders for a revision of the Georgia Constitution of 1877. The action of the Bar Association at Warm Springs last week in unani mously opposing the movement in commented on with no great favor. W. R. Power, warrant secretary ♦<> the Governor, was outright in Lri.-t *» - vocacy of a constitutional convention. Referring to the opinion of the Ba Association, he admitted the time might not be quite ripe,, but said it was coming, and coming soon. Phil Cook, Secretary of State, said some parts of the Constitution un doubtedly needed changing, but ef forts in that direction would meet with opposition. "The great fear of revision is that the bars might be let down to the State treasury,” he said, “and re strictions placed around the expendi ture of money by fne wisdom of Bob Toombs might be withdrawn.” One objection to the Constitution pointed out by the Secretary of State was its lack of simplicity, because of numerous amendments. The Legisla ture proposes amendments each year, Which are invariably ratified, he said. A State- treasury official said the State was twenty years behind in its fiscal policies, and a constitutional re vision whs the only possible correc tive. “In handling State funds.” ■ pointed out. “we are hampered by laws enacted 35 years ago. Consti tutional revision is necessary to cor rect these evils.” Other "evils” indicated were the creation of new counties and new eitv courts, the multiplication of judicial circuits and the present method of amending the Constitution. The Louisville and Nashville Rail road Company’s fight against lhe en forcement of the 2%-cent fare or dered by the Alabama Railroad Com mission was reopened in the Federal Court in Atlanta Tuesday morning.

The hearing is expected to last three or four day*. Notables Are in Attendance. Among those who arrived in At lanta this morning to attend the hear ing is Milton H. Smith, president of ther Louisville -and Nashville Railroad, one of the most aggressive and pic turesque of great railroad men of America. With him are H. L. Stone, general counsel; W. A.

Brickell, Attorney General for Ala bama. Alabama's fight for a lower passen ger rate was started by former Gov ernor B. B. Comer. It brought on one of the most sensational eases the Federal Court has ever handled in the South, and there was sharp conflict between Governor Comer and Fed ora! Judge Jones and Milton H. Smith. The railroad company's' argument | was opened by Sidney J. .Bowie, the ! plea being made that the enforcement i of the 2 ^ -cent 0 rate by the State j of Alabama, under orders of the Ala bama Railroad Commission, is uncon- stiutional in that it affects interstat. commerce over which the State ‘com* l mission has no control.
