 There has. been considerable kicking from towns and cities as to the care of hoboes who are injured while stealing rides on trains. AS 1t is now, taere is no way that the towns in which the men are cared for after injuries can collect damages. These hoboes often get the best hospital treatment for months, and they have no money to pay and the town settles the bill,
 The new law will provide that when one of these men Is injured and he does not belong in the state the state will stand the expense of the care and he will be state charge.
