“Not A Candidate” Says Liadsr
Here's a guc&j. Lately there has
been more or leas speculation about
Tom Linder, the executive secretary

for commisaiotver of agriculture.
Well, put it down Tom isn't going to
run. He will continue to be a part
of the close organization of Gover
nor Talmadge. next year and on in
to the future. Whatever the fates
hold in store for one will be shared

by the Georgia Public Service Com
mission on its rule nili to show cause
why class freight rates should not

to see that what really is involved
in the fight is the question of high

RAILROADS REDUCE RATES
Improve Service for 1934
In seeking public patronage during 1934 the railroads
offer improved service, essentially safe, adequate and reliable,
at rates substantially reduced. By this action the railroads are
doing the part expected of them toward the revival of business
activity and the restoration of national prosperity.
Reductions in passenger fares run as high as 58 per cent.
The presailing rate in roaches in this territory is new 1 1-2
cents per mile, less than half of what it was in 1933. Pullman
passengers are no longer required to pay a surcharge, and
the rate is 2 cents per mile round trip, 3 cents per mile one
way.
The “emergency charge" has been removed from all
freight shipments, thus effecting a general reduction, and
there have been many specific reductions.
The railroads earnestly solicit and confidently anticipate
public support of this policy and will sincerely appreciate
public patronage. They svill further appreciate legislative
action which svill accord them fair and equal terms of com
petition svith other carriers. With such patronage and co
operation their continued ability to serve and to meet the
demands of reviving business With dependable tftnsporta-
lion ssiil be assured.
Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited,
