The Cat Had the Higher Price

RUT, anyhow. you can see that court decisions
- to the value of human life do not definitely
decide what the value of the average man is, when
the awards run from one hundred thousand dollars
cash for man to as low six cents for another
man; when one learned Judge in New Jersey
you have heard of Jersey justice allows that nine
dollars is about the right figure for cat and
another learned Judge of the State three times
sets aside verdict of five thousand dollars for
childs life, saying that child is really not worth
more than dollar.
Your child is worth lotto you. That's just
it: to you. So, even if the court decisions were
fair they wouldn't tell anything, because they
represent only what the lives lost by the railroads
stingness were worth to the plaintiffs. The widow
of the man who held job as manager of the big

What Common Folks Are Worth

Nv HEN we Deg1n TO ngure on the Value OF man,
w it is understood of course that we mean just
common ordinary folks like you and me- that have to
earn living by doing something. We don't mean
folks smart that they draw salary for doing nothing
at all, for doing things that destroy the work of
other people. Whenever people begin to work on
this puzzle of the value of man. the first thing they
do is for data to the court awards You see,
we have railroads and trolley roads in this country
managed by discreet persons with eye single to
the interests of the widows and orphans whose little
all is invested in the securities of these transporta
ton agencies, and consequently their aim is to
fritter away little may be of what should be
dividends on devices for safeguarding the lives of
passengers and employees. Their motto, the motto
of all business men, is, The greatest good to the
least number.
AS a natural result we have in this country an
exuberance of fatal accidents quite in keeping
with the large scale which do everything
and everybody. The heirs of the people who get
killed bring suits in the courts. It's long lane that
has turn in it, and everything has to come to an
end sometime; there final decisions to the
worth of the human lives thus taken in the pursuit
of dividends. Now, in this Republic we have
preserved just little remnant of ancient feudal
tyranny We speak evil of all manner of dig
