ODE TO THE YEAR 1917
Arizona republican., 1918-06-16
TO TAKE HAND FUR
 RAIL ACTIONS

Attorneys who take personal injury suits against the railroads on the | ordinary contingent fee contract dur ing the period of federal control will | find that it is not a paying game
 The government means to discour- | age litigation by dealing directly with the injured parties, that the injured person may receive the benefit of the amount paid by the government with | out being compelled to turn over large amount to his lawyer.
 The law and claim departments of the roads will be advised to discour- age court action and the purpose of the government to ignore ordinary contingent fee contract, providing for the payment of reasonable compen- sation to attorneys.
 This is set forth in a letter dealing with personal injury claims written by John Barton Payne general coun sel, United States railroad admins tration, to the regional director. It fol- | lows:
 U. s. Railroad Administration, Di- | vision of Law, John Barton Payne,
 general counsel.
 Washington. May 23.
 My Dear Sirs:
 The federal control act contemplates that suits for personal injuries may be brought as heretofore but pro- vides that executions may not be levied on the property of the carrier while in the possession of the gov ernment. This means that while a judgment may be recovered, it de- wolves upon the director general to
 provide for payment and this places upon him the responsibility of con-
 sidering the merits of the claims and
 the persons to whom payment is
 made. It is the desire of the director
 general that justice shall be done
 to all employees who are injured in
 the discharge of their duties. This
 does not mean that verdicts based
 upon prejudice or passion shall be paid or that large sums shall be
 paid by the government to attorneys and solicitors who have no claim upon the government The right is re- served to consider the merits in de- termining what provision shall be made. It will be the policy of the govern ment to discourage litigation and tC deal directly with injured persons to the end that the injured person may receive the benefit of any amount which the government pays without the expense of litigation, anC without being compelled to turn ovel one third or one-half to any attorney You may, therefore, let it be knowr that such claims will be considered on its merits.
 As to fee contracts: You are auth orized to exercise wise discretion and are not required to make pay ment as provided therein, but onl, on such terms as will enable the per son injured to receive just treatment If the contract is unjust, you ma, pay the attorney such reasonable sun as will pay him for the energie actually rendered.
 | Yours very truly,

The Jefferson county democratic ex- ecutive committee put itself on record yesterday as in entire sympathy with President Wilson in his war policy, and pledged the democracy of Jefferson county to support him and the nation in the War against autocracy. The fol. lowing resolution was unanimously adopted:
 We, the Jefferson county democratic executive committee, declare that it is the supreme task of the civilized world to crush the insolent attempt of German autocracy to substitute. military dic- tatorship for self-government and tho right independent thought. The world must be mado safe for democracy by the defeat of German militarism. We want no peace without victory, and We de- mand victory so complete and conciu. sive that military ambition will be for ever silenced and a peace secured that will make an end of war. The world must be kept safe by the co-operat'cn of the major force of mankind.
 Resolved, therefore, That we rededi- cate our hearts, our wealth, our resources and our lives to the upholding of the hands of our great President in this su- preme hour of trial of democracy and freedom, and that We desire no peace made in Germany, but righteous peace wherein right prevails over might"
