Governor Hoke Smith vetoes mileage exchange bill in Georgia
Governor Hoke Smith vetoed Senate bill No. 165 allowing railroads to exchange transportation for newspaper advertising. He argued the measure creates special privileges for the press, threatens public regulation, and sets a dangerous precedent for other public service companies. The veto cites the Georgia public’s rail savings, notes past reductions, and emphasizes the need for universal, not selective, benefits.
