The Railroad Commission. FLORENCE. S. G.. Xor. 1.8-th, 1H.-9. Mr. E.'itor; I respectfully ask for a little space iii your columns to make a few terna;ks on what ! consider a mos' important question. It ts the question ot' the appointment or a practical railroad man on our-Railroad Com? mission. I can't ste wi- there should be any "question ' about this matter, though, at a lj for such should always be the case in even Railroad Commission. The great States of Michigan anti New York both have ? rail toad tuan on their Commissions, and these gentlemen have given entire satisfaction, proof of which can be given if necessary or requested. Why, lhere is no argument at all against the practicability of placing railroad men on the Commissions, for any person of moderate common sense, with a few moments forethought, can see that a practical rai hoad mau, trained up io that line of business, is much heiter fitted for such a position thiiti a body of men who have never had a single day's experience-iii-that most important bus? iness. The business of railroading is a most complicated one, and requires th* highest grade of ability to successfully manage it, which is proven by the fact thal the shrewd? est and most competent business men of our country are managing our most extensive railroad interests. From some cause or an? other, the railroad men in this country are very seldom elected or appointed to positions as public officials. This should not be so, for they, as a class, are more intelligent nnd trustworthy than any other class of men. Our different Commissions, Srate Legislatures and Congress are to-da\ do ng morehaim to tue development of the country than any other one cause, and simply by their unjust legislation and ignorance of railroad affaits. ls this thing to continue? It certainly should not, aud the sooner a reform takes [dace in this respect the better. As to our State Commission, I believe the several roads of the State are required to pay the salaries of the commissioners. Is ii then, anything but right, that some good railroad man should be appointed on the Commission ? If for no other reason, it should be done as a matter of courtesy. Rut I am not advoca? ting it for that reason, but for the reason that our commission would come much neater to what it was intended for, if a practical railroad man was upon it to give advice arid assistance to our present Com? misioners, who are true and honest men, loyal citizens, conscientious woikers, of good business qualifications, but little or no, rail? road experience. Need I say anything further? At any rate, I will not occupy any more of your valuable space this time. Your valuable neighbor, the Advance, 1 notice, with much pleasure, has come out advocating a certain railroad man for this position. Several Communications have been published in the News and Courier on this suij-ct recently, one from myself, but the Advance is the first newspaper that, to my knowledge, has come out editorially on this impoitant matter. I wanttosre this subject more generally discussed by railroad men, the newspapers, and the public in general, and then see our Legislature, al ther approaching session dis? cuss ii thoroughly, and 1 feel certain that tins body will also come to the conclusion that a railroad man will strengthen our com? mission in every way. It is worth a trial, at least. Let us have it. Yours. RAILBOADKB .- ,mm <rv-- - DIMJfcJ READING.
