RIGHT TO Elk RATES.
Judge Brewer UphOlds the Iowa Law,
But Says Rates Must BE Reasonable.


But Says Rates Must BE Reasonable.
LEAvENwoRTH, Kan, July 27.-About
three weeks ago the Northwestern Rail
road Company applied to Judge Brewer,
of the Eighth circuit, for an injunction TO
restrain the railroad commissioners Of
Iowa from enforcing schedule of trans
portation rates which it has made under
the authority of the Legislature, on the
grounds that the rates were so low that
they would bankrupt the road, and the
schedule was Illegal because the Legis-
Iature could not delegate its power 4
temporary injunction was granted and
an explanatory hearing was had in
this city. Judge Brewer has made
decision which continues the temporary
Injunction. In discussing the matter he
considered three questions-namely, the
legality of suit against the commission
ers, the right of Legislature to delegate
power to make schedule and the right Of
the State to fix railroad tariffs.
He decides that an action on such case
as this is not strictly an action against the
State and can be maintained. He thinks
that the State may delegate such power to
railroad commissioners. At least he holds
that State courts have held that the dele
cation OF such power is constitutional He
maintains that while the State has the
right to fix railroad rates it must make
them reasonable, that is, high enough 10
maintain the roads, pay fixed charges and
a return TO the stockholders, however
small.
The question not yet being settled that
the rates of the commissioners are reason
able in the sense that Judge Brewer used
the word, the injunction is continued for
further hearing on that point. II is ex-
pected that sixty days at least will be re
CURED TO furnish such testimony

The Atchison brewers, whose case was
decided against them by the United
States supreme court, do not even vet
propose to surrender short of the last
ditch. 1t was thought that they had
already reached this, but their attorneys
think they have discovered another one
little further in the rear. where they
propose to hold out little longer. The
decision in the Iowa case defining the
right of transportation companies to
carry intoxicating liquors into the state
has given the brewers hope that they
may be permitted to manufacture for ex-
port from the state The mandate of the
supreme court having been received by
the attorney general, the Atchison brew
ers now protest against the entering of
the final decree and propose to further
contest the right to manufacture for the
purpose eff expectation.
