supreme Conrt Suggested n rrincf-
pie Not Generally Accepted.
In the matter OF the Texas and Pa
cihc import rate case, recently decided
by the United State supreme court,
the Railway Review has the following
10 say IN commenting on the decision:
incidentally the supreme court gives
utterance TO principle which is sug-
gestlve as to the scope of the law be-
yond that which has commonly been
attributed TO It,. but for which this
Journal has strenuously commended.
Referring to the law. the court inter-
prets It to direct the commission ito
take into consideration all the facts
OF the given case. among which are TO
be considered the welfare and advan-
tage OF the common carrier" and la
ter in relation to charges, 1t says:
Some charges might be unjust to ship
pers-others might be unjust to the
carriers. The rights and interests OF
both must, under the terms of the act,
be regarded by the commission" 1t
mas been favorite idea among large
number of people that the force OF TIE
law and the efforts OF the commission
were to he exercised only In the protec-
ton of the people against the rail-
ways. Even so eminent an authority
as the Hon. I. NJ. Cooley In an opin-
ion delivered by him when chairman
VI Niic tOHlHlAHlpu, nelu tIsit tfle pro-
visions in the act to regulate COM
merce concerning reasonable rates.
was a provision inserted for the pro-
lection of the general public and not
for the protection of the carriers
against the action OF their own officers
or against the action OF rivals The
carriers were supposed TO have means
OF self-protection against unreasonably
low rates In the power they had to
make the rates themselves. II any
thing has been demonstrated as certain
in connection with railway operation
II is that carriers have not the power
TO make their own rates, but that 9TH
ers can make their rates for them and
in spite of them. 1t As fortunate. there
fore, that In the decision under con-
sideration the supreme court expresses
broadly the opinion that the interests
OF the carriers are entitled at the
hands OF the commission to equal con-
sideration with those of the shippers,
and 1t is to be hoped that the commits
sion, in accordance with the principle
of equity thus enunciated, will not hes
itate to prescribe the limit OF reason
ableness in both directions when occa-
sion offers,
