bunting to s6,OOO, ,OOO, or $2, 900 per mile of road owned. Fer similar claims the Eiissour' Kansas & Texas paid in Indian Territory. Kansas and Missouri at the rate Of s3SO4 per mile against s240.S0 per mile in Texas. In less than six months there were decided in Texas by appellate courts 121 personal injury cases against railroads. while in Iowa with nearly the same mileage and earnings. the number of such cases was II. In the same period in 51 Texas cases the judgments aggregated s253, 21S, and in Iowa. in the one case reported, the judgment was $50. Of cases in which railroads were the ap
 pellants and judgment was affirmed. Texas shows CT cases and Iowa six.
 These are only few of the figures which could be cited showing the as- tonishing pre- -eminence of Texas oyer the rest of the country in the business of bleeding railways by damage suits in which fake" cases and exaggerated statements of real injury figure large ly. A host of lawyers live and thrive by promoting suits of this character. All over the state they are on the watch for accidents. At the first report they jump on the train. rush for the scene and proceed to bargain for the job of suing the road. The business is largely taken "on shares" the lawyers 3 share being often from 40 to 90 per cent of the judgment. Success in tho business depends on enterprise in get ting hold of the injured or of the heirs of the killed before the representatives of the railways can make offers of set clement. Thus in one case. man was killed at g a. m. and by l D. m. sr:t was filed in the naTr of the bereaved widow for heavy damages. before rep- resentatives of the road could with any degree of decency approach the family and offer pecuniary compensation.
