RAILROAD LEGISLATION. — Laws Enacted by State of Indiana Are Many. In the recent issue of the Railway Business Association Bulletin, the following is said of railroad regulations in Indiana: “Indiana in 1911 enacted 31 railway laws against 14 in 1909, although Gov. Thomas ft. Marshall had said in hiemessage that ‘he would rather have a few reforms which disclose your deliberate judgment than a large number of crude and undigested statutory enactments.' The‘well done.’ he added, “wnlch you hope to receive from the people will come to you not from the volume but from the character of your work.’ “An enactment favorable to railway development was one enlarging the purpose for which a carrier may take land so as to include ‘the reinforcement of its roads by the construction of additional main tracks, switches, or passing siding;’ this amendment being accompanied by one putting upon the carrier the burden of proof of necessity for taking land, and by a provision that in estimating damages to owners whose land is taken they shall be computed as in other cases, to which the added compensation for injuries, interruptions and destruction of trade, business contract, occupation, residence, or industry, expense and difficulty in obtaining a new location and in relocating such business or industry. Right to acquire stock in terminal companies is extended to terminal companies in adjacent states where Indiana carriers desire to gain entrance. OBITUARY.
