GIVE CORPORATIONS A SQUARE
 DEAL"

Corporations are entitled to a square deal" The sooner people Of Arkansas agree on this point, the better it will be for the state. Ar kansas needs outside capital to de- volop it's wonderful resources, but capital shesitates to poke it's head into a state where it is continually biffed for the benefit of few. Corpora tions should not be permitted to ride rough-sLod over the individual, but they should have the same rights as are accorded individuals. They don't enjoy them.
 Consider tho damage suit industry, for instance: Seldom is suit be- tween an individual and corpora tion decided upon it's merits; unless it is tried by the court. Frequently, the attorney for the individual at tempts to go outside the evidence working always, always to arouse ill the minds Of the jurors prejudice against the defendant corporation and sympathy for the plaintiff individual.
 There's no justification for this. These suits should be decided exactly as are suits between individuals, and jurors should be manly enough to discharge their duties in accord with the oath taken when they go into the jury box.
 Hundreds and hundreds of people are persuaded to file suits against corporations when they would never think of doing so if their imagined grievances were against individuals. Nor would efforts be made to have persons with imaginary grievances file. suits against individuals. In such actions, depends-ce for a favorable verdict for plaintiff, IS placeds lace s on. the ability to create prejudice in the minds of the jurors and not upon the evidence.
 This is not an attempt to obtain for the corporations exemptions from liability when they are at fault, but only that they shall receive tho same treatment as is accorded individual litigants.
 An instance of the extent to which people will go in the attempt to bleed corporations Is furnished by case 1 in Texas. A carpenter threw him. self before a Southern Pacific tram IA cousin walking with him at the time, and all others familiar with the ! circumstances concluded it was case | of suicide. Several months after | ward g. firm of lawyers noted fo l their industry in prosecuting suits fol ! alleged damages against corporations
 instituted an action against the rail-
 road The contract with the plain | tiff showed the lawyers would obtalt l one-half of whatever amount wa, awarded the plaintiff, and they were
 asking judgment for $25,o00. This suit, however, did not terminate, as such actions usually do. The jurors could not disregard such evidence as
 was presented, and they returned ;
 verdict for the defendant railway. If the carpenter had borrowed : gun and shot himself, even these law yers would not have had the audacity
 to bring suit against tho owner of the
 gun. yet they would have had as good case against the individual against the corporation.
 Men can discourage this practice oi holding up corporations with the law as an accomplice by refusing to de- eide suits except on the merits; by declining to permit prejudice to make them accessories to the hold-up.

COOPERATION ASKED -,
BY PRESIDENT
URGES THAT FARMERS GROW
MORE GRAIN THAT THE
WORLD MAY BE FED.

Washington, Feb. 3-Cooperation
between business and the govern.
ment in framing laws for the benefit
OF all the people was urged by Presi-
dent Wilson tonight In an address be.
fore several hundred representative
business men here attending the an
aual convention Of the chamber Of
commerce Of the United States.
He declared that we must all pool
our interests" in order to discover the
best means for handling public prob
lens.
The creation in the United States in
time Of peace of the same Kind Of
united spirit which moves nations
during wars was advocated by the
president, who remarked that when
peace is as handsome as war there
will be no wars and when men en-
gage in the pursuits Of peace in the
same spirit of self-sacrifice as they
engage in wars, wars viii disappear -
The president predicted that while
there is a shortage Of food in the
world now the shortage viii be mudh
greater later He pointed ont that
under the guidance Of the department
of agriculture efforts must be made
by farmers in the United States to
grow more and more grain in order
that the world may be fed.
Speaking of the foreign trade of the
United States, the president asked
that business men devise some way of
allowing exporters in the United
States to combine to obtain common
selling agencies a1d to give long time
credits i'm such a way that these CO.
operative devices may he open to the
use Of all
He declared that apparently the
antitrust laws prohibited such com
binations now but that he would
favor a change if a method fair to all
could be found. He spoke Of the work
being done by the bureau Of foreign
and domestic commerce i'm surveying
the world" for the benefit Of all bust
ness men.
Business men themselves are to
blame if intelligent laws affecting
them are not framed, the president
asserted. He added that they should
come ont into the open and use their
knowledge of conditions to bring
about fair laws to prevent business
evils.
The Mexican question was men
toned by Mr. Wilson as an example
Of the difficulty he had in getting ac-
curate information.

BULGARIANS CLAIM

From Statements Made BY Bulgarian
Premier There is an Undercurrent
Of Unrest Toward Greece and

Sofia, Bulgaria, via London, Feb. g.
! -.II.5l D. m.-The attitude here with
reference to the war is one of the
strictcst neutrality and the Macedonia
question Is the only factor giving APP
prehension. said the Bulgarian Pre-
mier Vaseil Radoslayoff to the Asso-
c,ated Press today
"Our relations with Roumania are
improving constantly; trouble from
that quarter is not expected. But
tie Macedonian question is assuming
greater proportions each day with the
arrival i'm Bulgaria of hundreds OF
refugees from those parts of Mace
douia ruled by Serbia and Greece, the
governments of which have sup

driven Off the private teachers.
in Bulgaria at the present time
there are thousands OF Macedonian
refugees destitute and clamoring for
aid from Bulgaria 1t is impossible to
say what Bugaria's action will be,
We are waiting and must wait"
The premier spoke with strong EN-
phasis lie said that the Macedonia
Turks were adding to the problem by
looking to Bulgaria for deliverance
from Serbian and Greek "misrule.'
He had no comment to make on the
general European situation.
The premier pointed out that THE
economic condition OF Bulgaria was
satisfactory, although the country was
suffering considerably through the
curtailment of imports owing 10 the
state Of war in Serbia. the control of
the Aegean sea by the British and
French warships and the disinclina-
ton on the part of Roumania to per
nit the transit through that country
of goods destined for Bulgaria. At
temps had been made to improve the
situation with regard to imports but
so far they had been fruitless.
M Radoslavoff was Interested
l1eenly in conditions in the United
States and after a discussion or these
he outlined briefly the social and eco
nomic improvements made in Bull
garia recently
Bulgarian public opiaion is very
temperate concerning the belligerents
almost sphynx-like.
This, however, is not a matter OF
government discipline but arises
through the fact that the people are
inclined to act rather than talk 1t is
generally felt here that Bulgaria is
obliged to observe an attitude die
tated by her national welfare and
preservation. AS the premier said:
"The recent war demonstrated that
our friends were unreliable, that We
We're almost isolated in the Balkans
This is largely the case today We
have no demands of a large empire.
Bulgaria wishes to progress as
rapidly as possible for the benefit OF
| all its people and in this expansion
| has no place But the Macedonian
questions is one affecting the mem
bers of our race whose domination by
Serbia aad Greece has produced re
suits Numerically opposite to the
| principles for which Bulgarians have
stood for many centuries For that
reason we cannot afford TO remain
needless of the appeals of the Mace
donians-but We must wait
