Freight Rale Decision Marks (he
Administration of Gov. Craig
as Remarkable ? J. W. Bailey
Points Out Its Effafts and Pays
Tribute to Craig and Others
"The decuioo of the laureate
Commerce Commission in favor
of .North Carolina in the matter
of freight rates is of itself suffi
cient to mak the administration
of Governor Craig memorable,"
said Mr. J. W. Bailey to a report
er on yesterday. "When Gover
nor Craig took the oath of office
he declared that the laA atom of
his power should be exhausted
if necessary, in corro&hg
discriminations again# North
Carolina, by the great carriers.
He Aaked bis admin i&rstion on
the issue. He has made a mas
terful fight and won a victory
that will never be forgotten. He
showed his mettle in two ways,
firfl in landing up again# the
big carriers and second in Hand
ing up nguinA the big mass-meet
ing at Raleigh and preventing
an extreme course."
"The immediate effedk of the
new rates will be to save, about
$2,000,000 per ytfar to North pur*
olina commerce. Put far greater
tributora will not have to coin
pete with Virginia merchant's.
This will inevitably tend to the
upbuilding of our cities. Ral
eigh is ooe of the beA distribut
ing points in the South, having
an immense population vyithin a
radius of fifty miles and mod of
it in touch with railroad facili
ties. Every foot of land in Ral
eigh has been increased in value
by the Governor's viAory. And
this |s equally true of other cit
ies and towns.
"Of course' dtio credit should
be given to the JuA Freight Rate
Association and its leaders, - and
to our Corporation Commission
?very great deal to the Corpor
ation Commission, and especial
ly to Chairman Travis. He mas
tered the'subjed in hanl, gave
himself to the cause with gTeat
enthusiasm, ahd when he gets
Aarted at qnythipg that way he
can doas much as any man I
havo known. He has earned the
right to a. unanimous renomina
don, and 1 beleive it will not be
challenged.
?'But it win Gov. Craig who
put the vigor in the movement
at the outset, and it was he who
direded it all the way with 'cool
head and lion heart*
? "I believe that ills triumph
will be followed this year by the
ratification of the amendments to
the ConAitutioo, the revision of
our syAesa of taxation, the es
tablishment of closer business
methona in the management of
our inAitutioas. and the'enad
ment of ? legalized primary law.
If so, President Wilson win have
nothing on Governor Craig when
his terms has expired we will
have all the progress that the
moA progressive could desire."
