Brown Rebuts Port Rates Plan with Georgia Freight History
Joseph M. Brown details the long struggle over interstate and intrastate freight rates in Georgia. He recounts early efforts with W. G. Raoul and Senator Brown to shift eastern traffic to Nashville, the circulars 301 and 302, court battles, and eventual rate reductions that narrowed gaps between Georgia ports and interior points. He contrasts these actions with Hoke Smith’s gubernatorial bid and public stance.
