FROM THE JURORS STANDPOINT.

AN1M 1AAA0AN = 4n-N1A YIN Il
Editor III Paso Herald:
Since the two suits for damag
against the Southern Pacific company,
mentioned in "Inquirer's" letter to The
Herald. three more. amounting to some
$4,000, have been tried in the 65th dis
trict court One resulted in a verdict
for the railroad and the other two in
hopelessly hung juries. SO that in the
last five cases against the railroad i'm
ported here for trial from California
and Arizona, there have been three
hung juries and two verdicts for the
defendant Not a single victory for
the prosecution, Not one cent of dam
ages assessed.
Surely this is a remarkable condition
Of affairs. For il is human nature to
pity the under dog, 30 side with the in
dtvidual, whether really injured or not
against the corporation. And juries are
as human as the rest Of us. So that IL
in five separate cases so jurors could
find no excuse for any 2 of them IMAM
imously agreeing to salve alleged per-
sonal injuries with the ointment Of dol
lars, IL must be startlingly evident how
flimsy were the charges against the
railroad. Had these suits been tried in
California or Arizona where the causes
OF action originated, the result could
not have been worse for the plaintiffs.
But, unfortunately for FL Paso. she has
been made to foot the bills in maintain
ing the courts for the trial Of this for
eign litigation.
Yet this is only five Of some 20 sim
liar suits that have been dragged 20
FL PasO from California~and Arizona. If
these five are a fair sample of those to
come. then 26 verdicts for the defend
ant and 80 hung juries may yet be ex-
pected. But in the meantime, what
about this third district court of ours
which was established to take care Of
FL Paso and Texas legal business and
not that OF California and Arizona? So
far as we are concerned, a whole years
time OF that court viii have been wasted
while El PasO city and county have
gracefully paid the bill for running the
court As tax payer. here and now

read books that are going to be

COOPERATION WITH THE u S. ARMY GENERO

the railroad is inadequate. The Americans will be able
to supply their troops in the field, but only through
the Of the motor supply train from Columbus which
is operated not only at great cost but under great and
unnecessary difficulties which might be avoided if the
Carranza authorities would do the decent thing and
open the railroads to the passage Of American trains,
made up of American motive power and rolling stock,
manned by American crews and protected by American
guards.
This is the only reasonable and practical way to
supply the expedition Carranza may pettifog and bar
gain, and annoy the Americans who are going about
their duty in big and effective and friendly fashion,
his methods make friends and they will not seriously
impede the American expedition but only operate to
prOlong its stay in Mexico.
Carranza and his friends should not be allowed to
forget that the American government by permitting
and protecting the transport of 5000 Carranza troops
than 800 miles through American territory in
three states made it possible to meet Villa at Aqua
Prieta with superior force, Tepe his assault and
break down his organized rebellion. The present
fusal of the Carancisas to allow the use Of the rail-
roads for adequately supplying the American forces in
the field chasing Villa, is illustration of mental
processes the Americans cannot understand.

card is more stringent regarding the

1t will thus be observed that only

The sales, therefore, in the terminal
market in Minneapolis, for example,
are assumed to be made on these
grades, but it would appear that the
grading of the wheat, as carried out
at the point Of purchase in North Da-
kota. is in accordance with instruc-
tions sent out from day to day from
Minneapolis, as shown by the follow
ing from a notification postal card

for low grade wheat which costs, for
Il carload, less than one-half of that
for a high grade wheat, there was a
total income very much greater than
for the best wheat on the market" "
says DR.. Ladd. For example, In
grade d feed, the carload cost $SSS.01
as compared with S1,526.75 for grade
No. northern; while the increase in
selling price over that of the cost price
for feed A wheat would be $1,454.o2
and only $1,031.72 on No. 1 northern.
This would seem to lead back to the
original question as given in our first
bulletin,-1s the Present System Of
Grading Wheat Equitable""
DIR. Ladd's bulletin as it details vart-
Gus features of the wheat inquiry, in
part, follows:
Two bulletins have been published
containing information with regard to
wheat matters, namely, Special Bulle-
tin No. IA, Volume 3, Is the Present
System of Grading Wheat Equitable?
and Bulletin No. ia, Chemical and
Physical Constants for Wheat and Mill
Products, which have brought repeat
ed demands for information with re-
gard to the milling and bread-produc-
ing qualities Of the wheat crop for
1916. 1t is decided, therefore, to pub
lish the data for the 1916 samples thus
far milled, giving more detailed and
complete information on the compile
ton of the years experiments which
cannot be finished before midsummer.
TIE writer is responsible for the pre-
sentation of the matter, while all Of
the milling and grading results are
furnished by Thomas Sanderson. and
the analytical and baking results by
Levi Thomas and w. l.. Stockham.
Wheats at the terminal markets of
Minnesota are graded in accordance
with the Minnesota grades as prepared
by the board of grain appeals at Min
neapolis and the board of grain ap-
peais at Duluth. From an official
publication we quote the following Tor

The official body establishing these
grades and prices is not given on the
cards as they go out from Minneapolis
to the dealer. 1t will be noticed that
the grading according to this card is
quite different from the official
grades and does not conform with re-
gard to test weight per bushel.
There are several additional grades
Grade 4. No. 2 and Grade A. No. s.;
and in addition to these a classifica-
tion is made as Feed A" B." &C."
and 3D."
No matter what the grade may be
at the point Of purchase the terminal
grade is assumed to be one of the five
es indicated In the official announce
n1ent from the Broad of Grain Appeals.
Therefore, No. 4-No. 2, and No. 4-No.
3 and a part OF Feed Al should sell
at No. A. The balance of Feed A as
well as Feed b. G and ID will all be
sold as sample grade IL sold under the
official classification.
1t may be also assumed that the
term Feed" Is intended to imply that
the wheat had no milling value, but
is to be used exclusively for feed pur-
poses. The milling tests together with
the baking tests will, therefore. prove
Of special interest in this connection.

IL we deduct from the above figures
the freight rate per bushel for any
grade to the Minnesota transfer, we
should then have the local value Of
the wheat or from Fargo approximate
ly z cents per bushel.
The market quotations for flour
during the same period, according to
The Northwestern Miller. ending Oct.
II. 1915, were as follows:

Bran, per 100 lbs. .............. 1.156
Shorts and other products per
lU0 IDS. ............... ...... l.56I
Screenings. per 100 lbs. Il. 1915
The foregoing prices are for whole
sale or carload lots and based upon
the market price at Minneapolis. The
above values are used throughout in
the calculations for these tables.
1t will be observed that the majority
of the samples for this year are falling
under the classification of feed"
grades, and there is in our series no
No. Northern, although there are
a few samples of the higher grades.
The large proportion OF the lower
grades OF wheat makes the grading of
the milling value of the wheat an inn
portant matter this year.
The tables from l to 8 show clearly
for themselves the facts concerning
the several grades examined.

a little low in per cent of -four COM
pared with the same grades in other
years. while in the so-called feed"
grades we have had very few samples
in other years with which to make
comparison.
We find in the No. 8 and No. north
ern grades a test weight before clean
ing of 55 pounds to 40 pounds, and we
have the per cent of flour ranging from
