MODIFY MAXIMUM RATE lDEoREE

Supreme Court Grants Motion of Ne
brasl<a Attorney General.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-The United
States supreme court in an opinion by
Justice Harlan, granted the motion of
the attorney general of Nebraska for
| modification of the decree in the Ne
braska maximum freight rate case.
The motion was to strike out the words
"and below those now charged by said
companies and also the words, "and
particularly from reducing its present
rates of charges for transportation of
| freight to tn Sc presented in said act"
in the case of Smith against Smith
In granting the application to elimi-
question argued before us on the origi-
nal hearing was whether the rates
established by the Nebraska statute,
looking at them as entire, were so I'M
reasonably low as to prevent the rail-
road companies from earning such
compensation as would be just, having
due regard to the rights of both the
public and companies. In our exami-.
nation of that question it was appro-
pirate and necessary to inquire as to
the earnings of the respective COM
panies under the rates established by
them looking at such rates as an en-
tirety
1--WE do not intend by an affirmance
OF the several DEGREES to adjudge that
the railroad companies should not at
any time in the future, if they saw pro-
per to reduce the rates under which
they were CO Quoting business at the
time the final DEGREES were rendered,
nor that the state board of transporta-
ton should not reduce rates on specific
or particular articles below the rates
which the companies were charging on
such articles when the decress were
entered. We did not pass Judgment
upon the reasonableness or unreason-
ableness of tho retes on any particular
article prescribed by the statute or by
the railroad companies. If the state
should by statute, or through its board
of transportation, prescribe new
schedule of rates the question will
arise whether such rates, taking into
consideration the rights of the public
as we'll as the rights of carriers are con-
sistent with the principles announced
by this court. OF course the reason.
ableness of a schedule of rates must be
determined by the facts as they exist
when such schedule is put in force. %
