OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDiINGS W i KEEP OUT THESE CASES > (Milaca Tribune) | The calendar for the term of court beginning next week} shows that six damage actions against railways have been filed although none of them happened to persons in this county. The success of the first case tried here last spring wherein an exces- sive verdiet. of $40,000 was given has led these personal injury lawyers to bring these additional cases here. It costs the tax- payers of the county about $200 for each day court is held, and, ‘as each one of these cases usually require from two days to a week; it is seen that it is expensive procedure. The law allowing actions to.be brought in this way was passed by congress a few years ago at the request of the railroad unions. It permits personal damage suits against railroads to be brought in any county in any state through which the road passes, which the party injured or his lawyer may choose, What do accidents in Montana to a Montana man concern Mille Lacs county? It should be sufficient if the case were brought in ‘theX county where the accident occurred or the person injured re- sides. The juries in Todd county were also thought to be “good” | for the trial of-such cases, but the facts proved differently last| week when court was held here. Five such cases were on the| calendar totaling damages of upwards of $200,000. The first suit was for $50,000 and the jury brought in a verdict of $4,400,! while the second was for $25,000 and the jury thought $1,750 was enough. That was enough to satisfy the outside lawyers| and they hastily asked that the other three cases be continued so that they could be brought in some other county, “where they probably hope to find whiskers a little longer,” says Editor Lee., Hesays: “Anyway, Todd county seems to have stumbled onto | the effective way to protect itself against this latest imposition, | and in the interests of protection and the suare deal.”” | | Beltrami county also got its dose of this recently. We said what we thought about it some time ago. Others seem to be of]| the same opinion. Perhaps the treatment served out in Todc county might be effective here, o JAPAN FORTIFYING. . ..... «ue. It is reported that Japan is rapidly fortifying some of the Pacific islands that came under her control as a result of the Versailles Treaty, and that she denies foreigners admission to all of them. One of the fortified islands is dhly ten hours’ sail¢brother and wife from: Crookston | from Guam. It is also Significant that these islands form a chain of outposts that leads directly to the British pessessions south of the equator, and thence to Australia. Of course, the t}gvelopment of those islands as military and naval centers is without any indication from Japan that she considers them as menaces to either the United States or Australia. Meanwhile, | this country is concentrating its best battleships in the Pacific, setting - up airplane stations along that coast, and sending sea-| going submarines to the Philippines. Presumably Australia, too, is making proper disposition of her forces. ~Of course, Japan should see nothing more sinister in those moves than we| observe in her fortification of the Pacific islands. 0 EVIDENCE OF PROSPERITY No one can walk through our streets at the present time and not be impressed with the activity in building. Traveling men who visit Bemidji daily express their surprise at the expan- sion of the city, and many are at a loss to account for it. One man, recently here on a business trip from the west, stated that Y ’s:wonderful building expansion, and, although his regular territory would have taken him only to the Minnesota-North Dakota line, he had heard about our city while in Montana and had ‘decided he would come east as far as Bemidji and satisfy his curiosity. He has asked his house that his territory be extended to include Bemidji. This is the the many evidences we have about us of our prosperity. Do Bemidji citizens realize our favorable conditions as strongly as outsiders? If they do, let us hope they will not fail at every opportunity to preach the gospel of optimism and ap- preciation to others. 0- 4 RAILROAD ADDS 14,000 EMPLOYEES The Pennsylvania railroad has recently increased its pay- roll by 14,000 men, They are to be employed in putting idle n‘clght‘ cars in condition for the expected heavier traffic of next winter and spring. The roads have been sorely pressed for money to keep up maintenance of way and equipment, and for some months have been forced to curtail expenditures for that purpose. The increase in number of employees when the tendency seems to be the opposite is a.good sign, and if this one road finds itself in a position to be able to do this, it is reason- able to assume others will soon fall in line. . —o0 PANAMA LEARNS Some montl.'ls ago Panama announced by telegram to the Geneva secretariat of the League of Nations her ratification of the covenant, but, up to date, formal ratification has not been deposited.
