of the commission in the four years OF

To the assessment of real and per-

Supreme Court Decides Roads
May Lay Tracks Without
Sanction of Municipality.

A decision important to the rallrOaus
of the state was issued by the supreme
court when it filed an opinion holding
that the consent Of a city or village was
not necessary as preliminary to the
construction of track across a street
or public highway.
The point was raised by the city OF
Interna tlonal Falls which protested the
right of the Minnesota, Dakota and
Western Railway company to cross one
of its principal streets without permits
sion from the city authorities.
The contention made by the city OF
Interna tional Falls was that the streets
under it's control were the property OF
the taxpayers, and that it had complete
control over the same. 1t also offered
az an argument law passed in 1905
requiring railroads desiring to enter a
city or a village to first secure fran
chise, and then acquire right by con.
demnation proceedings.
This, the supreme court holds in part
to be true, but says the city has i'm
properly construed the law. This law
the court says, refers to tho traver-
sing of street and not the crossing OF
of the same. And as to it's control
over it's streets, its only right is that OF
keeping the same in proper repair.
The syllabus reads as follows
l. The legislature has power to grant
authority to a railroad company to
cross public highways and streets, and
authority to construct railroad be-
tween designated points implies
authority to cross highways and street
which the railroad intersects. The
legislature m ay require that franchise
be obtained from city or village before
railroad company is permitted to
cross streets 10 such city or village, but
in the absence of such requirement.,
franchise from the city or it's consent is
not necessary.
2. L. 1905 Sec. 1841 construed, and
held, following Minneapolis & st. Paul
Suburban Railway Co. vs.. Manitou
Forest Syndicate, l0l Mimi, 1872, not to
REQUIRE franchise to be obtained from
a city or village before railroad COM
pany constructs it's tracks across streets
in such city or village. IT.
3. RI. 1905 Sec. 2916 construed, and
held not to require such franchise, or
that there be an agreement between the
city or village and the railway company
az to the manner, terms and conditions
upon which. a street may be crossed by
the railroad.
4. Conceding that under Sec. s9l6 .
railroad company may and must acquire
the right to cross q street in . city CT
village by condemr alton proceedings,
equity will not enjoin such crossing
before such proceedings are begun, 1t
appearing conclusively that the necessity
exists, and that such city or village has
at all times an absolute right to compel
the railroad company to make the
crossing safe for public use.
5. A city or village has no proprietary
rights in it's streets. Whatever rights
it has are held merely in trust for the
public use. 1t is not entitled to COM
pensation when a railway company
crosses it's streets, and the constitu-
tional provision that private property
shall not be taken of public use
without just compensation first paid or
secured does not apply.

Old Jake Jacobson would have been
governor long before this, says the
Granite Falls Tribune, had not Frank
Eddy told the convention that he ate
pie with knife.
The Tribune is mistaken. The fsi-
lure of Mr.. jacobson to reach the
goal of his ambition was due to his
rugged sincerity to force large inter-
ssts to play fair. Possibly that Mr..
Jacobson's social accomplishments
and looks are not quite up with those
Of Mr.. Eddy, who has somewhat OF .
reputation in that direction, but for
honesty of purpose and courage OF
convictions he yields second phase to
no one. And that was the real cause
of his defeat in his contests for the
governorship. st. Peter Free Press.
We are not so sure as the St. Peter
Free Press seems to be that Jacobson's
way OF eating pie had nothing to do
with his befeat. We have heard the
remark made by intelligent men, not
snobs, either, that man who cared no
more for his appearance and manners

appeared to would always be handi-
capped to some extent by the bad i'm.
