The Supreme Court Of West Virginia,
ut Wheeling, Saturday rendered an inn
portaut decision i'm the case of the Laurel
Fork and Sand Hill Railroad Company
against the West Virginia Transportation
Company, involving the right of the Leg
islature TO regulate passenger and freight
charges on 4 railroad chartered before
the passage of the act. 1t is held that the
State has such right. Justice Green
covers the decision in his syllabus: 1.-The
right to regulate and fix ut their pleasure
The charges of railroad companies for the
transportation Of freight aud passengers
is one of the powers of the State, interest
in every sovereignty to be exercised by
the Legislature at its pleasure from time
TO time, and therefore one Legislature
cannot, by a charter granted 10 railroad
company, though it be for valuable con-
sidcration, confer on such railroad light
10 charge certain fixed rates for the trans
portation of freight and passengers, and
siipulate that this rate of charge shall not
I've changed by future Legislatures. And
if tina. be done it will not be regarded as
Il contract, but it is in legal effect nothing
more than license to enjoy this privi-
lege conferred on the corporation for the
time, subject to future legislative or con-
stitutioual control"
