A TIMELY SUGGESTION.

The following suggestion by the
Clarion-Ledger has been eXten
sively copied and approved by the
State press:
Now that the State is on the
eve of making large appropria
tons for needed, improvements
and enterprises that will involve
an extra burden, in addition to
the regular appropriations, 1t
might be timely Tor the legisla-
ture, before these appropriations
are made, to look into the question
of settling the large railroad tax
suits, and the realization by com
promise, If that be possible, of
ready cash to ward meeting these
first OUTLAWS without taking so
much directly from the people by
taxation. 1t may be that some
thing can be done in this direction
which would not only put the
State in ready financial condition
to meet the first OUTLAWS on the
heavy improvements and build
ings necessary, but would tend to
bring about the era of good feel
ing so much emphasizedin the adj
mirable address of Gov. Longino.
The suggestion of the Clarion
Ledger is worthy of the earnest
consideration of the legislature and
people OF the State. AS the Bran
don News puts it, compromise and
concession are infrequently far
better than litigation. Attorneys
fees eat big holes in recoveries. A
reasonable sum to end litigation
is often better than q prolonged
lawsuit where loss of all involved.
-Brookhaven Leader.
The above suggestion of the Clarion
Ledger and comment of the Brook
haven Leader show the true senti-
ment of the state in regards to the
settlement of its suits now pend
ing against the Illinois Central
Railroads. For as it says, even
admitting that the state should
win, it will tack money and years.
All must admit is better at this very
time when state improvements is
drawing heavily from the treas
ury to compromise this matter, If
possible, thereby securing a suffi-
Gent sum to carry out the work |
without drawing any more from
the pockets of the taxpayers.
Railroads, the advance agents of
prosperity, the builders Of cities,
the distributors of money are
friends and not enemies of q state,
and should be treated as such, and
we believe the legislature, the peo-
pies representative, if they can
amlcablY adjust this matter and
stop the expensive suits to both
sides should do so as it will mean
much to the future of Mississippi.

THE HUNTINGTON SHORT LINE

The property owners in the vi

congratulated. Their plantations
were ruined, it will be remember

our arbitrary Board instructed the
Commissioners to refuse to make
any award at all, thus turning the
land owners out in she cold, as it
were, on the erroneous SUPPOSE
ton that the Commissioners were
without jurisdiction.
The disappointed taxpayers
thereupon appealed to the Su-
preme Court; and meanwhile en-

solution.
Again the land owners appealed,
the higher court properly and
promptly sNperceding the decree,
until a final hearing could be
reached. As a result of all this
litigation, the Board stands de-
feated at every point, the Supreme
court having reversed both of the
lower courts, holding with the
land owners on every contention.
The Board Ore otonly defeated,
but they stand convicted of will
fully perpetrating an unnecessary
and unparalleled wrong on a num-
Der of property owners and tax
payers of their district. This will
add nothing, we may be sure, to
their prestige, popularity and use
