TEST ON ROAD
LAW IS BEGUN
OFFICIALS APPEAR IN HEARING
ON APPEAL FOR INJUNCTION
AGAINST ELWELL LAW

st. Paul-The injunction suit for
testing the constitutionality of the Ell
we'll road law was begun yesterday in
the Ramsey county district court.
Thomas McDermott as attorney for a
volunteer plaintiff, Fred H. Murray,
of White Bear, presented his petition
to Judge Olin B. Lewis and secured
from him an order to Walter J. Smith
state treasurer; s. G. Iverson, state
auditor; the three members of the
state highway commission, NJ Bah
cock, Clarence I. McNair and F. S.
Bell and George w. Cooley, secretary
of the highway commission and state
engineer, to appear tomorrow at a
special term to show cause why a
temporary injunction should not be
issued.
This Injunction will, if granted, en-
join the respondents from expending
state money for, the construction Of
state roads under the Elwell law of
April 1S, 1911.
The road fixed upon for the purpos-
es of the suit runs easterly from
Thief River Falls in Pennington coun-
ty and is entirely within that county.
It's estimated cost of $17,O14.01, of
which the state would pay one-half
and Pennington county onequarter,.
while the balance is to be assessed on
property owners supposed to be spe-
cially benefited
The point made against the Elwell
law is that it is in contravention to
the state constitution which provides
for an equal system of taxation, the
necessary exceptions in the case of
cities being provided for.
The objectOrs to the law rely on
the case of Sperry & sFlygare in the
eightieth Minnesota reports, page 325
where the supreme court of the state
held that rural highway authorized
under the law of 1895, chapter 3O2, is
not a local Improvement within Sec
| ton 1, article 9, of the state consti
tuition.
The people of the state have been
availing themselves of the Elwell law
to improve their roads through the
state aid and the question to be ar.
gued before Judge Lewis will be of
great interest throughout the state.

WINTER IN SOUTH; SPRING HERE

Southern Minnesota, Iowa and Kan
sas residents generally feel cold SEN
sations down their spines when they
think of this part of the country, but
if they could just take a peep into
this region now, they would feel the
reverse. In Kansas they have two
feet Of snow, while Iowa and southern
Minnesota have been in the grasp of
a very cold waye for long time. R.
C. Mathwig, of the Marshall County
Land Co., has just returned from a
trip through southern Minnesota and
western South Dakota. He says that
spring is farther advanced here than
200 miles south. In this connection
he commented upon the southern
chills, proving that the Red River Val
ley, after all, has the best climate
conditions in the country.

A POTATO WAREHOUSE

It is quite possible that potato
warehouse will be built in Warren the
coming summer. When G. E. Lund-
quist was in Minneapolis last week he
interviewed d. F.. Ryan, a prominent
commission man in that city, and he
spoke very favorably of the project.
He makes speciality Of handling po-
tatoes and owns and operates num-
Der of potato warehouses in the state.
AS Warren has made good start in
potato raising, he thought this would
be splendid point at which to build
a warehouse, and If he does it will be
completed in time for handling this
years crop.

AUTolsTs HAVE GOOD TIME

steered their course to Thief River
FANS last evening, where they enjoy
ed big feast, heard lots of good
jokes and toasts and had an all-around
good time as guests of the Thief Riy-
er Falls Auto club. Usually the War
ren1tes travel in several makes of
cars, but this time they used the ev-
ery-day demonstration cars of the 500
company. 1t is not reported that they
had any trouble with ignition or
punlctured tires on the way, but all
admit the running was smoother than
usually is the case.
Safe at 7. R. F. they did not have
to use goggles to see the cordiality of
the welcome, or the splendor Of the
banquet board. Used to good times,
and loyal subjects of the Speed King,
they went after everything in their
characteristic spirit. The best ac-
counr of the good time could be read
in their faces this morning. Many
pairs of eyes had hard times to stay
open without the proverbial toothpick
A splendid program was a delight
to the many guests who had assem-
bled from points on the Great North
ern and 500 lines. Messrs. L. Lam
berson, H. L. Wood and w. F. Powell
gave addresses in behalf of the War
rem delegation. The following War

FAv0RS POOR IN
CORPORATION SUITS
STEVENSON INTRODUCES BILL
TO DO AWAY WITH PRESENT
~ COURT EVILS

Washington, D. c., March 27-Con-
gressman Steenerson introduced a
bill today limiting the jurisdiction of
fderal courts to cases where the mat
ter in controversy exceeds the sum of
ten thousand dollars, instead of three
as at present, and denying the right
of removal to defendant corporations
where suit is brought in the county
where the cause of action arose or
within the county where the defend
ant was served with process and the
plaintiff resides.
Chairman Clayton of the judiciary
committee promises Steenerson a
hearing on the bill at an early date.
This is considered one of the most
important pieces of judicial legisla-
ton of the present session, and will
make it vastly less expensive to the
common people to secure justice by
the elimination of better than two
thirds of the present expense in go
ing long distances to try cases before
federal courts
Under the law any case in which
the amount involved was less than
$4,000 could not be removed on mo.
ton of the corporation sued, to some
other court more difficult and expens-
i've of access.
Many corporations organize in other
states for the sole purpose of getting
the benefits of the provisions of the
present laws, which admit of the re-
moval of all cases on motion of the
defendant corporation, where more
than $4,000 is involved.
The bill will be a great relief to the
common people, who in many cases
have been barred, practically, from
commencing actions because of the
enormous initial expense involved
making it impossible for poor man
to even make an effort to seek JUS.
tice in the courts, where the defend
ants were foreign corporations.

CONTEST ON LICENSE VOTE

The Warren city council has been
served with notice Of contest on the
declared result of the election on the
license question. It is claimed that
the declared result is not according
to the vote on the question at the
election. The case will go to the dis
trict court and in all probability be
appealed to the supreme court, no
matter what the decision is. But
regardless of any legal decision, the
city council will in all probability re-
fuse to grant any liquor license du-
ring the year, hence whatever the
outcome, the city will remain dry.

dent--a man of peace. primarily, who
would give the common people a square
deal and keep the aristocrats who fat

All of which sounds very well, but
it does not alter the fact that President
Madero is in most serious and menac-
ing difficulties.
The question is whether without as

ter involving Americans. British and

patches 10 the State Department. The
state Of Chihuahua is declared to be in
a condition Of chaos. The Northwest
ern railway, a principal avenue of ex-
odus to the United States. has fallen
into the hands of the rebels. The en-
tire district of Casas Grandes is under
rebel dominion.

from its miserable plight There are
Mexlcans who declare that Madero
cannot succeed without using military
force and without increasing the army

what Madero does not wish to do.
Whether he can succeed by sticking
to more pacific and conciliating pol

many years to win along that line.
