When the Law Speaks


The language Of the law can be q
delight to the layman-when 1t isn't
. pain In the neck.
In Italy q farmer let q pig stray
into the road. A motorist swerved
aside when the pig refused to move,
and damaged his car. He sued the
farmer for damages. holding the
farmer responsible for the pigs acts.
The case finally reached the supreme
court. which rendered its decision as
follows:
when the compartment OF an
animal, without going into the hy-
potheses Of fault or force majeure,
sets in motion elements which other
wise would have remained inert, and
these elements in turn, through no
fault Of their own, but due to the
animals compartment, cause damage
to be done, the causal connection be-
tween the compartment Of the ami
NAL, for which the law holds the
proprietor to be responsible, and the
occurrence causing the damage, ap-
pears to be uninterrupted"
In other words-the owner Of the
pig was responsible. and had to pay.

Mickey Leads the Way
(From the Rotarian Magazine)


A news dispatch from Geneva an
nounces that the League Of Nations
has unfurrowed its brow long enough
tc give Mr.. Mickey Mouse's back an
approving pat. Moreover, its Com
mittee on Child Welfare IS keenly in
favor Of an international treaty to
permit Mickey's and other approved
films duty-free privileges in countries
that are members OF the League.
For this. Mickey should register
glee-perhaps not as much as q glance
Of favor from Minnie would bring to
his countenance. but glee nevertheless.
Certainly now he Is made mouse. He
has brought general esteem and ap-
probation, II not dignity to his pro-
fession. As officially as may be, he
now holds the portfolio Of chortles
and cheer to the world.
But the recognition Is not for
Mickey alone. He, after all, is but a
symbol for the overlooked truth that
laugh Is one Of the touches that
make al men kin, regardless Of creed
or color. Indeed, serious efforts are
now being made to establish q uni
versity chair Of humor" for the pur-
pose Of placing huinor alongside trade
and science, music and art, Is 4 means
Of popularixing good will and under
standing among the nations.

Sidelight on Business

The assertion Of a federal trade
commission investigator that Henry
L. Doherty obtained control Of the
billion-dollar Cities Service Co. with
an investment Of only 100000
brings into light one Of the strang-
est quirks Of modern society-the d.
vorce that can exist between owner
ship and management.
Control Of . great property, that
Is to say, can rest in the hands of q
man who actually owns only a very
small fraction of the property. On
the other hand. thousands Of people
can be owners without ever having
anything consequential to say about
what shall be done with their prop
erty.
This, Of course, Is not to say that
any criticism attaches to men who
buy control of corporation without
buying majority ownership. It sim
ply illustrates the strange course that
corporate development has taken in
modern times.
