MHNING OF CORPORATIONS
IN STATE OF GEORGIA. ‘
COMMISSION MAKES REPORT
Grose Earnings of Corporations Un
der Railroad Commission Amount
o to $67,108,472.81.
Sea S , o ~——Atlanta.
The raflroad commission of the
state has issued a statement showing
the operations of all corporations in
Georgla subject to the jurisdiction of
the commission for the fiscal years of
1910, 1911 and 1912.
The gross earnings of all such cor
porationsfor the year 1912 reaches the
enormous sum of $67,198,472.81, and
the net earnings for the same year
ars the comiortable amount of $21.-
$07,684.71. The operating expenses for
the gsame year were 346,408.—1
$17.75. The defielts aggregate only
$215,629.65. “
It is Interesting to compare the
large increases which were made with
in one and two years, both as to gross |
earnings and net earnings. Here are |
the figures. |
Gross earnings of all corporations
under the commission in Georgia for{
1912, $67,198,472.81; operating expens
©s $46,406,517.76; net earnings, $21,-
007,584.71. For the year 1911, gross
earnings, $61,511,400.81; operating ex
penses $41,328,820.59; net earnings,
$20,441,228.31. For the year 1910 the
gross earnings were $55,976,272.30;
operating expenses, $37,663,644.20; net
earnings, $18,524,867.28. A comparison
of these figures will show that the
increase In gross earnings for one year j
was $5,087,063, and the net earnings
for one year $566,356.40. The increase 1
in gross earnings for two years was
$11,222.200.42, and the increase in net 1
earnings for two years 52,482,717.43.“
The increase in operating expensey for
one vear was $5,077,628.16, and for two 1
years $8,762,973.56. : |
The commission, in making its re
port on the earnings, expenses and
deficits for 1910 and 1911 and 1912,
classify the corporations as railroad
_companies, terminal companies, tele
graph and express companies, com
prses companies, street railroad, pow
er; gas and electric companies. Ter
minal companies, as a rule, are rail
road companies operating for joint
aceount union passenger stations or
performing switching, transferring
and similar services for several roads
st large junction points or in cities.
Other than rentals of space to ex
press nad baggage companies, news
stands, restaurants, ete., thelr income
is only such as the roads, which are
incorporators or participants in the
ase of the terminals, pay for such
use of the terminals, In cost cases‘
iha expense of operating, upkeep,]
ete., are in excess of theire income.
No individual, frelght or passenger
depot, taken individually and apart
from its uses a&s a part of a system,
would ever appear as having net earn- |
ings. This explains why terminal com
panies show aparently large deficits.
The railroad companies, of course,
stand at the head of ail corporations
a8 to gross and net earnings. The
stroet railroad, power, gas and elec
tric light companies come second in
puint of earnings. Telephone compa
nuie come third, telegraph and express
eompanies come fifth.

| Preachers Fighting Mormon Religion.
' ANanta preachers pre apparently
lining up for a religion persecution— |
or erugade, which ever you chooge to
| call it—against the Mormon church in
this community. Sensational denounc |
iations of the Mormons have already
been hurled from several of Atlanta’s
leading pulpits, and in public inter
views numbers of minlsters l_:gv¢
advocated the adoption of whatever
means may be legal {o drive the Mor
mons out of Georgia. Strange to say,
both the Mormon leaders and the’
{ Christian ministers leading the at
tack against them, are both placing
their legal justification “in the con
stitution of Georgia. The Christian
mnisters say the Mormons can be
supressed under it, while the Mor
mons say it i 8 their absolute safe
guard. Here {8 what the constitution
says on the subject, in Article 1, Sec
tion 1 of the bill of rights, paragraph
13: “No inhabitant of this state shall
be molested in persom or property, or
prohibited from holding any public of
fice or trust, on account of his relig
ious opinions; but the right of liber
ty of conscience shall not be go con
struced as to excuse acts of licentious
ness, or justify practices inconsistent
with the peace and safety of the[
state,” The Mormon leaders, ts,k!ng!
!their gtand on this section, declare
that their teachings are absolutely
t moral from an ethical standpoint; that
they conform with the code of morals
in this country, and that they do not
teach polygamy. The preachers say
that Mormonism is rotten and im
moral to its very core, and insist that%
the Mormon church does secretly |
stand for the polygamy doctrine,
though it may not always dare to pro
claim it openly.

Suffragettes Pian Campaign. I
The suffragettes of Georgia are plan

{ to introduce it in the assembly and
fight for it. No matter what happens
to the bill, they propose that every
member of the house and senate shall
ibe forced to go on record for or
against it. Then the suffragettes
plan, when .the next election comes,
| to take the stump against the legls
