Miller defends Guerry claim on railroad tax burden
Andrews of the Southern Railway asserts Guerry’s figures misstate Georgia taxation. He compares Tennessee and Georgia methods, notes railroad property tax rises since 1892, argues railroads pay about one-eighth of state taxes while exempt lines would shift burden, and urges uniform assessment.

Prohibition Debate in Georgia and Bar Room Legislation
John P. Ross argues that direct state legislation to abolish bar rooms aligns with democratic principles, citing Georgia Baptist conventions and past resolutions calling for a statewide measure. He cites Governor Northen’s presidency of those conventions and notes opposition from Mr. Terrell, who supported anti-prohibition efforts and opposed local measures as governor.
