HIS RECORD IS HIS PLATFORM
STATEMENT BY JOHN T. BOIFEUILLET, OF MACON, CANDIDATE TO
8UGCEED HIM8ELF AS GEORGIA PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSIONER
To the*White Voters of Georgia:
If you wlBh to continue In office a
Georgia Public Ser-ice Commissioner
who has been unceasingly watchful of
the interests of th6 people—who has
endeavored unfalteringly to protect the
rights of the masses—and, In the face
of the opposition of great corporations
and powerful utilities, has unhesitat
ingly voted against unreasonable In
creases In rates, then vote in the pri
mary on September 10th for my re
nomination to succeed myself on the
Commission.
I voted against granting increased
rates in Georgia to the Southern Bell
Telephone and Telegraph Company.
I voted against granting increased
rates to the express companies in Geor
gia.
I voted against granting the Georgia
Railway and Power Company in
creases in the gas rates of Atlanta,
and I voted In the minority to require
that company to give on&half fares
to public school children riding on
street cars In Atlanta.
I have voted five times against the
surcharge on sleeping and parlor cars,
as I regard this tax unjust, unneces
sary and unreasonpble.
I voted against the local freight
rates which went Into effect in Geor
gia last year, as they Increased rates
to practically every point on the Atlan
ta and West Point Railroad; to prac
tically every point on the Western and
Atlantic Railroad; to practically ev
ery point on the Georgia Rail
road, and also Increased the rates to
numerous p'neeq on the other great
railroad systems of the State, like the
Central, Southern, Seaboard, Louis
ville and Nashville, and Atlantic Coast
Line. Increases were made from the
mountains to the sea.
I favor the lowest possible rates on
all agricultural products and the ne
cessities for planting crops, including
fertilizers of all kinds, particularly.
I have advocated reduced rates on
brick, lumber, sand, gravel and on all
other materials used In constructing
buildings and highways.
During my service of more than
seven years as a Commissioner,
neither my personal business nor my
Individual pleasure has drawn me
away in a single Instance from meet
ings of the Commission.
Never in that seven-year period
have I lost five minutes from my offi
cial duties because of newspaper work
or any other outside employment.
As a native Georgian, born In
Macon, a Presbyterian, and the son
of Presbyterian parents who were na
tives of Savannah, I always have
given, and will continue to give, the
faithful service of my heart to the
State of my love, to the State of my
birth, and in whose generous bosom I
hope to sleep at last.
Should you honor me with a re-nom
ination, I would manifest my grati
tude by continuing to discharge my
duties conscientiously, untiringly, and
•to the very best of my ability. In
this manner I would show my appre
ciation of your confidence in me.
Faithfully yours,
JOHN T. BOIFEUILLET.
