Georgia Reformers Face Busy Legislature
The Georgia General Assembly convenes its regular session amid expectations of hard work and decisive reform. The Constitution lauds real reformers for rail regulation, condemns sham reformers for selfish aims, and predicts early passage of key measures including direct election of railroad commissioners, extended anti-pass provisions, and tighter state supervision of utilities. The House organizes with John M. Slaton as speaker and Clem T. Dunbar as speaker pro tem, while E. Steed withdraws to preserve harmony. Rockefeller is noted for resilience under criticism.
