Feared Atlanta Will Be Gainer
Georgia communities oppose the railroad commission plan to reduce commodity rates on goods manufactured in Georgia to all points in the state. Savannah fears Atlanta’s large manufacturing base would gain an unwarranted edge in the state trade as jobbers would benefit from the same rates. Commissioner Brown defends the policy as essential to sustaining Georgia manufacturing against outside competition and pledges to publish new commodity rates as they are established. Mayor Myers of Savannah calls the shift a protective tariff with far reaching effects and questions its legality, noting Atlanta’s concentration of factories would tilt benefits toward the city.
