THE SCOTCH JUROR.
In Scotland in a civil case jurymcn
get ten shillings a day for their SI’I“
vices, and the litigants must in dddt
tion provide them with lunch. If two
cases are tried consecutively on one
day. and the same jurymeu otiiclam;
they get ten shillings for each case.
But the most important difference
between an English and a Scottish
jury Is this. An English jury when
returning their verdict must be unan.
imous. and if they fall to agree after
a certain length of time they are dis
missed and the whole proceedings art-
begun again de novo before a fresh
jury. This is a most expensive IIIOdt'
of administering justice. In civil cases,
in order to avoid this result. the liti-
gants sometimes agree to accept the.
verdict of a majority. In Scotland the
jury can always give a verdict by a
majority, in civil cases after the lapse
of three hours.
OVERWOR K.
(St. Louis Globe-Democrat.)
More accidents involving a loss of,
life have taken place on the railroads
in the past year or two than in any
previous period of equal duration. in
this particular the United States has
won a bad pro-eminence among the
great countries of the world.
are several times more fatalities in
this country on the railways everyl
year than there are In England. Ger-
many or France. in proportion to the“
number of persons traveling. Over-
work on the part of employee has been i
the cause of many of these casualties.
Physical torpor due to excessive hours
of labor of railway workers is account
able for the failure. in many cases, to
make use of the mechanical devices to
prevent accidents.
WOMEN INDOORS TOO MUCH.
(Good Health.)
Indoor life, with the numerous
artificial and unwholsome conditions
which It imposes, Is a powerful factor
in lowering the vitality. diminishing
the power to resist disease and in
maintaining a continual contact with
conditions productive of disease. Mon-
keys and most other wild animals
deteriorate rapidly in captivity be-
cause of the deprivation of the fresh
air and sunshine to which they are
naturally adapted. Civilized. women
are almost compelled to live sedentary
lives. This fact accounts In large de’
gree for the almost universal Invalid-
Ism among them.

Q!
Windsorville and East Hartford
Street Railway Wes to be
Capitalized at $50,000, With
Power to Increase to $500.-
000
HARTFORD, May 23.—For the first
time during the present session of the
General Assembly Governor Womb-nil
today exercises the power of veto by
sending back without his signature 8
bill which had passed both houses
providing for the incorporation of the
Windsorvllle and East Hartford Street
Railway Company. In his veto mes-
sage the governOr said that this cor-
poration had been capitalised in a
questionable sort of way and the time
had come to stop the practice which
was against public interest and which
created an unwholesomc financial con-
dition. The company was to be capi-
talized for $25,000 with power to in-
?‘rease the amount of capital stock to
$500,000. The road was to start in
East Windsor and run through Wind-
sorville, Wapping. South Windsor.
Burnham and to East Hartford, a dis-
tance of 25 miles.
The governor’s veto follows:
I herewith return wnthout my ap-
proval to the House In which it orig-
Inated substituted for House Joint
Resolution No, 173 incorporating the
Windsorville and East Hartford Rail-
way Company, and as reason for with-
holding my approval would say the
tendency for some years past has been
toward ovcrcapltaiization in the forum-
tlon of public service corporations and
unfortunately the general assembly
has not checked that practice, although
it is against the public Interest and
creates an unwholcsomc financial con-
dition.
The state of Connecticut has hel‘li
liberal In granting charters to street
railway corporations, but I am of op-
inion that we have arrived at a point
where we ought to take a more con-
servative stand. And because of very
large proportion of such corporations
has come into the control of one great
corporation the state is now in better
position to act conservatively than
ever before.
I can see. no reason. nor have I been
shown any valid reason why it is no
lit‘vsrlill‘)‘ for a railway corporation to
have a capital greater than ls needed
to construct its roudbed and to equip
i ii for service plus it reasonable work-
ling capital. All capitalization beyond
lSIIt'Il sums as may be required for
,tlmse purposes is excess and is coup
Inouly tvrmed, in the language of the
tiny. ”water." Therefore if a corpora-
; tion be “watered" It Is obliged to earn
til percentage on an unnecessarily in-
flated capitalization to satisfy .Its
i stockholders. and that means that the
.geuerul public pays a sum unfair in
proportion to the service rendered. It
is probably needless to cite instances.
for a recent case is still in the public
mind where street. railways were. over»
capitalized and were later absorbed
by another corporation—n case in
which the “watered stock" is now to
pay dividends sufficient. to make that
stock salable in the market.
It is my conviction that all public
service corporations should begin on
a cash basis. If that be true of them,
then their stock can be marketed more
readily when It becomes known than
’in the case of overcapitailzaflon cor-
porations whose promoters plan to is-
sue bonds to pay the cost of building
the road and that the capital stock
.shall be given away for promoting
purposes. This kind of financing is
clearly against public policy, and if we
have erred in the past it In high time
, to call a halt now. rather than to per.
slut. in a wrong policy.
Mnnifestly it. is better for the stock-
holder to have in his possession stock
that is worth its face value or more,
than to have a larger block of stock
worth less than par because it is
"watered." Manlt'estiy also it. is more
prudent, for one to leave to his heirs
stooks that are readily marketable be-
cause they are what they purport to
be, than to leave to heirs a. legacy of
more or less fictitious value.
This broad proposition i believe to
hold good, that all stock should be
paid for In money. In such manner and
at such times as the board of direc-
tors may prescribe, anti that the price
of each share for any increase of cap-
Ital stock shall not be less than par,
and as much more as its market value
may be shown to be.
Inspection of Sections Five and Six
of House Joint Resolution No. 173 will
show that this charter is defective in
this respect. it my reasoning is cor-
rect
One otkr point in reference to spec-
ial privileges granted by this charter.
of which I do not approve, Is the grant
of authority to secure right of may
over private property by exercise of
eminent domain. I find that during
the last two sessions of the General
Assembly, it has been the apparent
policy of the General Assembly to
grant to street railways the rights of
eminent domain as a special privillgc.
If the state In to continue that prac-
tice it would seem advisable that such
provision with regard to street rail-
ways be incorporated into‘tho statute
law by definite enactment, just as now
the steam railroad corporations enjoy
that Ieagl provision, so that all street
railway corporations may be placed on
an equality. But in my opinidn such
statute provisions would be unwise
cannot theaters Its too well ’asIe-
worded, and I do not believe It wise to
grant the free use of the extraordinary
low privilege of eminent domain to
street railway corporation to enable
them to condemn for purposes of their
own use land of the householder or
the farmer, some times to their own
loss and often to his annoyance. I am,
for the previously cited reasons, of op-
lnion that this Ill ought not to pass
it its present arm. I therefore to
turn it to you without my approval,
and ask that you further consider it.
