New Railroad Laws.

Quite number of new laws affect ing the railroads. were placed upon the statute books of the state of Arkan- sas by the General Assembly of 1907. a great many of which were of local interest, consisting in the main as they dc of requiring fast mail trains to stop al various stations. providing extra train service en certain foad buiid- ing new depots, etc. There were however, a number of laws Of general interest to the public and which have as yet. been given little or no publicity. Among the number is q law which makes i misdemean. or for any railroad to obstruct a cross ing or public highway more than ten minutes, or failing to entirely clear the crossing or highway within ten min utes, to leave an open space sixty feet wide for traffic. In case of violation fine of from 8 to s25 may be assess ed. A law which requires all railroads to drain railroad beds when railroads pass within 200 yards of a farmhouse or residence. A law to the effect that 1t is unlawful for any railroad or com mon carrier of any kind to change law ful duties and liabilities of the carrier with shippers. whether or not by agree ment. A law surpressing all drum ming and soliciting for hotels etc, on trains. This law resulted from the many Hot Spyings drummers that were on all trains going into Hot Springs. A law which provides that all rail roads. where two roads connect at a junction, shall maintain depot and a train cryer who shall annuonce, by calling in the depot the various trains and tracks upon which said trains will depart. The law also provides that the caller shall call the trains in plenty of time for all passengers waiting in the depot to get on the proper train. According to this law station will have to be located at every junction Of two lines, no matter whether there is town there or not, and that a train cfyer must be maintained at that station. A law which makes the rail roads liable for all destruction by fire to real or personal estate caused by l trains or railroads.

"Oid Soldiers Act"

The Supreme Court will be called upon to decide in the case of the town of Stamps against W. P. Burke, witch is a test case in what is known as the old Soldiers Act" approved in 1889, and which provides that it shall be lawful for any indigent or disabled eX- Confederate or United States soldier or sailor to engage in hawking or ped ding without paying either state, county, city or town license or tax for the privilege of so doing. The test case in question is that of w P. Bufk. an Confederate soldier who about a year ago was arrested at Stamps Lafayette county on a charge of ped ding without paying the town license. He was arraigned in a justice court and was convicted and fined $50. The case was appealed to the Lafayette Circuit Court. which reversed the judg- ment of the justice court. The town of Stamps appealed the case to the Su- preme Court. claiming that the law is unconstitutional, on the ground that the act comes under the head of class legislation. Although the law has been on the statute books for a number of years, this is the first and only case that has come up for trail since its passage.
