written and it Is signed by one Of the
three judges who had signed the first
opinion. So the first shall be last
and the last shall be first. AS the
case may go to the United States su-
preme court, our decision Is not Of
great consequence, but 1t rs to be
hoped that no other case of import
ance will be held up In that way. It
is said the devil invented the delays
of the law. but, that is q gross Sian.
der on the poor devil The delays
were invented by judges and lawyers
who were looking for, gifts, bribes or
fees. In former times 1t. was not un.
common for great jurists like Lord
Bacon, to hold up decisions until they
received a gift to; balance the scales
OF justice. 's
Here is the gist and reasoning Of
the opinion as first. signed by ma
jority Of the judges:
/. This is an appeal from an, order sus-
tanning = general demurrer to the COM
plaint. The complaint shows that by
force of CT. 81, Laws 1907, and the
court decisions tho plaintiff has been
compelled to carry loads of coal for
defendant at loss or without just
compensation !. and that such loss
amounts to over $4,000. Hence, the
complaint does: stats q good cause Of
action. fstS f,.ts5fsls s.ss:,
The complaint fairly shows that the
plaintiff performed services for. the
defendant at It's request in the trans,
eportatfon Of coal and that by compul
sion the plaintiff accepted for such
services ST, 900, less than the reason:
able value of the same and the defend.
ant has refused to pay such q reason.
able amount. Now it is manifest that
II one party may compel another to
perform services at less than the rea-
snable value of the same, he may com.
pei performance without any value at
ALL II party may take the services
or the property. of another without
just compensation, he may take 1t
without any compensation and that is
simple robbery.

mitted to our judges:

with his head bowed he asked the chaplain to say

home the loved ones he was leaving behind.
