 IN CARS, OH|O
 GOVERNOR SAYS
Urges "A Hour Limit Be Put On PeriShable EatabIeS in All Railroad Cars; Says Food Is Left Ten Days At a Time

COLUMBUS, Aug. 16-Informed by state inspectors that carloads Of perishable food stuffs in some Ohio cities being held as long as ten days before unloading, often resulted in waste, Governor Cox asked Rail. road Director Hines to fix a time lim- it of "A hours "or other proper ana reasonable time within which sucn cars must be unloaded."
 "The evil practice of making use of railroad cars for storage purposes = the governor said in a telegram to MT Hines, mot only deprives traffic of transportation means but also holds back from the market the SUD- ply to meet the demand which makes for quick turnovers at moderate prof it's under reasonable and open com petition"
 According to inspectors of the state public utilities committee, num- erous carloads of potatoes, melons, to- matoes. peaches and other perishable food were found in Cleveland, Gin cinnati, Toledo, Dayton and other large cities, which had stood on the railroad tracks for ten days and in most instances the food was spoiled.
 In some of the cities, it was held, merchants were using the cars as store houses, withdrawing what they needed for the day and returning any surplus at night.

Our Mississippi Supreme Court
is composed of six Judges They
consider and decide all cases TO-
gether. Quite frequently three
of the Judges vote TO affirm the
case and three vote TO reverse.
Thus we have a hung Court. that
Is. no decision. The result is
that the Court being hung, or un-
able 10 reach a conclusion, the
decision of the Court from
whence the case is appealed is
taken as the law of the case.
The injustice of such procedure
IS that one appealing 10 the SUI
preme Court does not get an
opinion from the Supreme Court,
and such an opinion or decision
IS yalueless TO the litigants.
The remedy is 10 so amend
our law as to the Supreme Court
so as to reduce the number OF the
Judges TO three. We certainly
do not want TO increase the num-
Der of Judges, because there is
not sufficient business before the
Court TO require the time of three
Judges. Again, by limiting the
number of Judges. we increase
the responsibility of these Judges
and they will unquestionably
evidence more careful lnyestl-
CATION of the litigation presented
TO them. Let our legislature con
rider this suggestion and act dur
ing this term of its session. We
need immediate action in order
70 get relief from this anamalou:
condition. Does this not appeal
10 the legal profession OF Mis-
sissippi? Let the legislature heal
from you lawyers and litlgants
