Possibility of Bond Issue.

Every time there is cry of economy
IN the House some republican starts

sued Panama canal bonds, which are
to be sold at par at per cent interest
in times of need. They can be issued
without an act of Congress.
Not only are republicans putting the
blame for the deficit on the admins
tration but democrats in charge of ap-
propriations today pointed out that the
need for economy was known year
ago Chairman Fitzgerald of the ap-
propria tions committee. 1t is under

and his committee from the charge of
extravaganza if it is made.
republican congressman of marked
activity on the floor said today:

barrel bill he likes, if the administra-
tion is really in earnest. This economy
cry may kill the rivers and harbors

tlat the supply bills have gone too far
to be cut down with the most drastlc
action known TO Congress.
"The supply bills 50 far have exceed

Office bill went twenty-three millions
ahead of the Postmaster Generals es-
innate: the rivers and harbors bill ADDS
thirty-four millions to the expenses
of the government; the naval bill :
several millions more than secretary
Daniels asked: the agricultural bull is
larger than estimated for, so the ecoli-
omy program of the administration Is
not being lived up to at this end OF
the town. The Senate may refuse TO
pass the rivers and harbors bill; the
House intends to do without public

Discloses Small Chance for Prun-

Members of the House are almost en-

the publicity given to the deficit in the
United States Treasury, as a first view
of the appropriations situation gives
the impression that very little pruning

revenue legislation will be attempted

DAMAGES FOR TRESPASSERS.

Five suits were filed in one day at Hattiesburg,
all against the Gulf G Ship Island road, seeking
damages aggregarng $25,OGO. for alleged personal
injuries.
One of the declarations alleges that the plaintiff
was walking in a path alongside the railroad tracks,
GENERALLY used by pedestrians" and that a train
"Wiifully and wantoDly' ran into him.
Stripped of legal poppycock, this plaintiff admits
that he was a trespasser on the property of the rail-
road company; that he was walking along the right
of-way, where he had no legal right to be, and wants
$1,000 because he lost a leg in the encounter with a
passing train.
Suppose, just for a moment, Mr.. Reader, that
YOU have been made defendant in a $4,000 damage
suit something like this: Suppose a trespasser in
vades your back lot, having no right whatever on
your premises, entering upon the property without
permission, and gets kicked by a nervous horse.
chewed up by a bulldog. Or sustains any sort of per-
low 5000, or any other amount? Well, hardly.
And that's just the way the railroads feel about
suits of this character. There is neither sense or
justice in compelling them to pay damages to tres
passers, and yet year after year, right here in Missis-
sippi, they are forced to fork over thousands Of
dollars that belong to their stockholders in settle
ment of claims of this kind.
The Mississippi Legislature will be Wilfu1ly neg
ligent OF a serious duty If 1t fails to enact a statute
providing that there shall be no right of recovery
when a trespasser on railroad property, or the
premises of a manufacturing concern, receives in
juries. The law accords this protection to the in
dividual, and the corporation is entitled to the same
protection, pertinently suggests the brilliant editor
of the Jackson Daily News.
