This joint committee met in Den

points,
L. The railroads take the posi-
ton, under conditions rs they now
exist, that they should only pay
claims for stock killed where there
is negligence on the part of the rail.
road shown and liability established
BY a recent decision Of the Supreme
Court it is made plain that negli
gence on the part of the railroad
must be proven to establish liability.
In nine cases out of ten this is prac-
tically impossible.
2. The railroads admit that they
pa, only 80 per cent Of the claims
presented and in most cases little
more than half of the amount de
manded. The Law practically re-
lieres them from liability in cases
where animals are killed within
towns or cities or upon public cross
ings- In addition to tais they main
