PERSONAL INJURY
LITIGATION CENTER
ROADS DECLARE MINNESOTA is

ISSUE OF GREAT IMPORTANCE
Court to Decide If Non-Residents Can
Sue in State-Some 341 Cases to
Be Affected BY Ruling of
High Tribunal.

road companies that Minnesota has
been made the personal injury litiga-
ton center of the middle west and
that twin city law firms have conduct
ed a systematic campaign to bring
nonresident personal injury cases to
Minnesota for trial are back of case
which is before the state supreme
court.
Course of Argument.
The argument in court challenged
the right of nonresident to make
taxpayers stand the cost of trial of
cases where cause of action arose out
side the state, but the case is of great
Importance and will decide question
raised recently in the courts of Henne-
pin county.
The test case was taken to the SUI
preme court from Waseca county on
writ of mandamus issued by the SUI
preme court against Judge Arthur b.
Childress, who on the motion of the
attorneys for the railroad refused to
take jurisdiction of the case of w. A
Prall, who was injured while employed
by the railroad in Clinton, Iowa,
against the Chicago & North Western
railroad. The roads attorneys declared
that the case should have been COM
menced in Clinton, iowa, where the
accident occurred and where the rail-
road was subject to service.
Many Cases Pending.
Thirty-five personal injury suits
have been filed against the Illinois
Central Railway company, which has
30.19 miles of track in Minnesota and
none of the accidents occurred in the
state. In all, Al such cases are pend
ing involving most of the roads in
the state.
Not only personal injury suits, but
suits against railroads for damage to
goods in transit, and especially dam
age to livestock, forms a big part of

BY THE DOLLAR AND CENTS
 STANDARD.

THERE are some people who re-
 fuse to measure foreign polt'
 cy-or domestic, for that mao ter-by any other standard than dol lars and cents. Let these consider that the United States has reached a stage of development where the com mercial life of the Nation depends up- on its foreign markets. Last year We exported from this country products of farm and factory amounting in value to S2.465.SS4149. That is two billion, four hundred and sixty three and a half million dollars more than free tolls to American coastwise ships would amount to, and to con siderable degree the extent of this trade depends upon the good will of foreign countries.
 The President and Mir. Bryan are not only right in principle but they are pretty good business men.

PROHIBITION AND CENTRALIzA,
 TON.

n EFoRMERS with but a single Tx panacea for all the ills to which
 man is heir have contracted the habit of taking their troubles to Wash ington. The prohibitionists, following the lead of some of the woman sufT- rage advocates, have determined to make their fight against John Barley corn a National matter. They are seeking to secure an amendment to the Federal Constitution providing for the suppression of the liquor traffic
 Former Mayor George F. Cotteril, of Seattle. has announced that he will make that and woman suffrage con- stitutional amendment parts of his platform in his race for the Democratic nomination for United States Senator

circumstances as their warrant for

1 circumstances as their warrant for making the question a National one.
 Do the prohibitionists fully realize where the success of their program would lead? It would mean the polio ing of the country by the Federal gov ernment. It would add thousands to the already too numerous petty Fed eral rulers that arc Quartered on the people. It would be another blow to selr.government and further centrali- zation of authority in Washington. We have seen this class of legisla- ton used to regulate all manner of To- cal matters. The Federal internal rev enue laws and the statutes regulating the use of the mails and prohibiting the white slave traffic have been fruit full in placing local police matters in the Federal rather than State courts. If we add the liquor traffic to the Ma tional matters. we had as we'll turn all the criminal and police functions of the States over to the National govern ment, and be done with it,
 One would think the prohibitionists would be satisfied with capturing State after State, as they have been doing, rather than to take the risk of align ing State right advocates against their cause. Particularly is that true when the circumstance that most of the dry territory is in that part of the country where the doctrine of State rights is most strongly adhered to is considered.
