pose.
So far Institutes have been held only

HCW THEY FIGURE IT 0UI
JUDGE MOORE DECIDES FOR
BEDDINGFIELD.
No Tax-ltvying Power Given The Cooperation
Commission txcspt by a Clause Re-
enacting he Railroad Com
mission Act,
mission Act.

There is IN old French provcrb to this
effect: "''rhcy say is liar"
Maybe and maybe not, certainly not al
ways. Then perhaps this is one OF the
exceptions that prove the rule;
.slhcy say" that Judge Moore will de-
eide the Abbott Beddingiield suit for the
office of Corporation Commission in fav-
or of Beddingiield Judge Moore has
never made known his decision in this
case, argued more than Il week ago, but
it is expected daily.
They say that the Supreme court
will decide it in Beddingiiclds favor
and in Abbott's, too. In other words,
that there'll be four commissioners i'll
stead of three.
And this is the reasoning by which
'.they say the court will arrive at such
conclusion:
/. All laws passed by the Legislature
during a session must be construed to
gether-in pari materia.
2. Applying this rule, the Railroad
Commission Act repealed one day was
re-enacted the next when the Corpora
ton Commission Act was passed, in til,
following words:
3. Tine last-named Act is not contra
ry to the Railroad Commission Act, but
simply amendatory thereto and contains
nothing that prevents their being con
strued together.
4. The Act to establish the North
Carolina Corporation Commission says
that there shall be elected by this Gen
eral Assembly three commissioners, &c. :
1t nowhere says there shall not be more
than three commissioners. ''ro perform
all the duties and exercise all the powers
imposed or conferred by chapter 800 OF
the public laws of 1891 Railroad Com
mission AcD and the acts amendatory
thereto
5. Major Wilson'S term as Railroad
Commissioner had expired. Ohio Wilson
had resigned. This left only DIR. Abbott
and as the Railroad Commission Act,
by the in pari materia construction. is
still in force DIR. Abbott necessarily holds
over, making court four instead of
three.
They say" further that only by such
construction of the Act does the pres
ent commission have original power to
value railroad property in North Carolina
for taxation; and only by this construc-
ton can it maintain its case before Judge
Simonton on the tax injunction case.
This is what ''they say"
