900. 90, the railroad company could
have the SUIT removed for trial to
the Fedfal court, and this meant a
practical denial of justice to the
person bringing the law suit, as il
would rarely happen that the plain
tiff had the money 10 get his wit
ncsses to the Fedral court. Mr..
Thomas to correct the great evil,
and to afford the humblest litigant
an opportunity to have his case tried
in the State court in the county where
it was brought, introduced in Con
gress bill providing that before any
suit could be removed from the
State to the Fescf.l Court, h.a
mount in controversy should be S5,-
900 90. His bill passed the lower
house, of which NJ. thomas was a
member, largely through his efforts
in its behalf, but when it reached
the Senate, that body reduced the
amount to S.. ooo. 90 and in that
form the bill became a law, and is
the law today, greatly to the adyan-
taGe of persons who must litigate
with the |. C.. K. r. Co. Not only
is that the case, but Mr.. Thomas
INTRODUCED in Congress a bill to
prohibit uGoverment by Injunction"
and regulate the usual of injrnc-
tions in disputes between corpora
uons and members Of labor argani-
cations. The 1. e. r. K. Co.,
along with the other big corpora
tions, fought this measure of Mr..
Thomas, tooth and nail, and Lis
position on these measures, as we'll
as his entire record in Congress,
show that in a fight between Corpo-
rate Wealth on the one hand, and
the people on the other, he is al
ways on the side of the people.
Now let US look at Mr. Rhea's re-
cord for moment. We cannot go
to Mr.. Rhea's record in Congress,
and get much light as to Mr.. Rhea's
attitude toward the corporations, or
for that matter, as TO his atti,uie to-
wards anything, because his record
IN Congress was mainly one Of alb
sence: but one of the few voscs that
he gave while in Congress was again
st a bill To prevent vGoYerment
by lnjlnc ion". hg, we can le,
clear view of Johns attitude towards
the corporations By reviewing lit
tie local history. la 1891, the
present Constitution of the State tf
Kentucky was submitted by the
Constitutional Convention (which
was then IN ses,iln) 20 the voters Of
the state for their raiihc calion
That Constitution was the first seri-
Gus effort that had been made in
Kentucky to curb the growing pow
er of the IA l-o,is com pa 1ie and
the big publ service corporations,
anu many provisions were put in
that constitution that have proved
of great benefit in controlling and
regulating these great combinatio?s
of capital. Under the late Cons,i-
tuition 1t took twelve jury men to
make verdict II : civil suit.
This resulted in many hung jnries,
and it was very hard to get a YER
dict against a corpora ton, and that
resulted in great benefit to the cor
poratious. The new Constitution

Tri-State Coed Roads Meeting.

lrl-State d00d R0atS McetiTg.
At meeting of representatives of
the commercial bodies and Auto
mobile Club of Louisville held July
e5, 1t was decided TO prepare def
mite plan for Tri- State Good
Roads meeting to be participated
in by representatives of commercial
bodies, Good Roads Associations
and Automobile Clubs of Kentucky,
tennessee and Indiana, To be held
at either Mammoth Cave or Bowl
ing Green, ky., probably the latter
part OF September. This mce ting
will be preceded by "Sociability"
automobile runs from Louisville and
Nashville.
1t is also planned that there shall
be held at this meeting barbecue,
one of the old fashion sort, and
every effort will be made to make
the experience of those who take
part in the gathering one to be re-
mcmbcred.
Speakers of National and State
prominence are expected to be pres
ent. Gov. Hooper of Tennessee has
already signified his willingness to
to take part, and others will be
secured without difficulty.
One of the salient points Of this
meeting is that it will have laid be
fore It a well considered plan OF ac-
tion to be amended or changed in
such fashion as the meeting may
consider wise, The Improvement
of three great highways will he the
central thought. These are the
Central Lincoln Road, the Lincoln
Jackson Way, and the jeff Davis
highway. all !boroughfares of lmpor-
tance, whose improvement would
really be business benefit, and OF
ines,imable advantage to the farmers
dwelling along the routes.
The meeting will not only con
slider the making of roads bnt the
proper use of the same. This means
the operation of the automobile in
every detail. Especial discussion
will be given to the problem of un-
necessary noise, in which the auto
mobile warning signal plays SO i'm
portant part. The worthlessness
of the bulb horn, hitherto so widely
used, has focused attention on the
necessity of signal capable of Civ
ing an abrupt sound, sp ficiently
loud to be heard above the noise Of
" diiI III IltlCS dtu kbC ldttiS VI
the farmers wagon on country roads.
A feature of this problem, however,
is the regulation of these signals so
that they shall not be misused,
in the city or in the country.
Louisville, Nashville and Indian
apolis representatives. will soon meet
to discuss the details of The meeting,
which is almost the first Interstate
meeting to be held in interest of good
roads with a definite knowledge of
just what the meeting Is expected to
accomplish. Additional lnforma-
tion can be obtained regarding the
plans for the meeting by commuui-
eating with commrcial bodies or au-
tomobile clubs of Louisville, Nash
vile or Indianapolis.

TWO RECORDS COMPARED

rs certain personal enemies o
Mr.. Thomas have for some limt
been lndustrlopsly circulating falls.
and misleading statements as to hi
employment by and his connection
with the Illinois Central Railroad
now in order that the facts may be
stated, and that the people of thC
district may be enabled To Judge
whether Mr.. Thomas or Mr.. Rhes
is the freest from corporation con
trol, let us compare the records OF
the two men along this line.
Mr.. Thomas has for several years
beeu local attorney for the |. c.
K. X Co. Tor Muhlenberg county.
His duties as such consisted solely
in representing the railroad COM
pany in the trial of Civil cases in
the Muhlenberg Circuit Court.
His employment was In that eapae-
ity, and no other. He did not rep
resent the railroad company in any
cases arising out of violations OF
State or Federal laws made to con.
troll the railroad companies and pre-
vent discrimination and extoTtiop.
There was no greater improprlety in
Mr.. Thomas accepting employment,
of the kind, which he did accept
from the railroad company, than
there would have been in accepting
employment from the humbles,
private citizen in Muhlenberg
county, as the terms of his employ
ment placed him under no obliga-
ton whatever to the railway
company. 1t simply paid him for
what he did in the trial of its law
suits, and neither was under any
other obligation to the ather. lie
did not represent the railroad com.
pany in any litigation growing out
of any violation of State or Federal
regulations, or of any labor con-
trovcrsy between the railroad com
paDy and its employees, and recent
ly, when the I. e.. K K Co, had
an Injunction issued from a Federal
court against certain of its former
employees, who were at that time
out on a strike, Mr.. Thomas sp-
pcsred in the Federal court on be-
half of the striking men, and is now
representing the men In that law
suit. During part of the time Mr..
Thomas was representing the rail-
road company, he was GoMmun
wcalth Attorney in this district, and
the records of the courts. will show
that during that time more money in
fines was assessed again 5, aad col
lected from the Illinois Central
Railroad Company than any similar
period before or since. This shows
concluslvely that Mr.. Thomas was
not under the domination and con-
troll of the |. G.. +. X. Co, because
the fines recovered were the result
of Mr. Thomas diligence N pEorgs
iHs indictments, aud his effective
ness IN prosecuting them on trial.
Durlng part OF the time MIR. Thomas
represented the /. e. X. r., he has
been in Congress Now let us look
at his record there, and see If the
railroad company 60! t'om t,n,
