SAFFGUARDING THE INVES

T may be a surprise to tho reor
ganizers of cotporailons, to
know that, even ' when carle
blanche is given them by a Voting
majorityj of the ownership, they
cannot make merchandise -of the
rights of a minority. That is the
gist of a decision just rendered by
the Court of Appeals of this state in
the suit of an English fiduciary
Trust against the reoreanizine com
mittee of the Birmingham, Sheffield
& Tennessee River Railroad Com
pany, operating in Alabama.
, i'.Tbe decision will tend to check'
the current assumption that the
money of a minority interest in a
corporation has no rights as against
the money of a majority interest. It
establishes the rule that, when a
dominant majority which has reor
ganized a company damages, the
Inteiest of a bond or stockholder, it
njust face a jury in a suit for dama
ges, and lace it with'-a precedent
against it which commands that it
shall not merely give the investor
something that it says is "jusf as.
good," but something that is really
as good, as the interest he bad.
It establishes the principle that
the reorganization cannot proceed,
regardless of restraint even under
the vote of a majority interest
until holders have been notified of
a plan formulated atld given a
cnance to withdraw.

j promisee much for the Northwest is
the Buford-Trenton BechvBMtion
project. The United States Govern
ment has set addo $550,000 for this
work and the active operations will
begin inside of sixty days. Whsn
this work is somploted some 18,000
acres of now urid land will be re
j claimed .and tbo western part of
I North Dakota will bo as attractive
as the great valley of the Bed river
and thf. productive lands of the
Mouso river Loup. It is assorted
that the proposed dam and reservoir
will hold between 20.000 and 25.00(1

The fact that good agricultural Gov
ernment land is becoming scarcer
and scarcer makes these irrigation
projects of great interest to the
bomeseeker and investor.
