Judgo Hallam Holds That State Should

81 PAM, MINI, Jan. 24-M the
Ramsey county district court Wed
nesday Judge Oscar Hallam signed
an order enjoining the officials Of the
Great Northern Railway company
from making the proposed increase
Of S80,OO0,000 worth of additional
stock of that company or issuing the
same or part thereof during the
pending litigation without first max.
ing an application In writing therefor
to the Minnesota railroad and ware
house commission and securing it,
approval thereof, as provided BY SEQ
ton 2,872 of the revised laws of 1905
Of the state Of Minnesota.
This Is a victory thus far for the
state OF Minnesota In the action
brought last month by Attorney Cen
eral Young and his assistant, B, A.
Stone to compel the railroad to REQ
ognize the state railroad and ware
house commission before issuing the
stock as the laws provide that before
a railroad can issue an increase OF
its capital stock II must make apph-
cation to the state railway and ware
house commission and make snow
ing of the necessity for such an is-
sue. The Great Northern railroad
claimed under It's original charter 1t
could issue stock at will and that the
law granting this power to the rail-
way and warehouse commission was
unconstitutional.
Judge Hallam, endorsing the regu
lations provided by the general laws.
says: There is no question as to the
propriety Of such legislation. The is-
sue OF stock by railroad corporation
is a matter Of public concern, and the
state has a right to insist that when
such a corporation increases It's stock
there shall be value behind the stock,
and II has right to establish safe.
