vcrmont's Two Cent Mileage.

Tn .he United States court for the dis
trict of Vermont, Judge Hoyt ii
Wheeler has handed down an opinion
affecting the issuing of mileage books
bv railroads in this state. The law as
. passed by the Vermont Legislature. in
November last, is almost identical with
the measure which was killed by the
Maine law makers.
The law as passed provides that
every railroad operating more than 80
miles of line wholly or partly in Yer
mont must keep on sale at the principa!
stations mileage tickets in the form of
coupon books. to be used by anyone
presenting them. the maximum price to
be charged not to exceed two cents per
mile.
Through their counsel. the stockhold-
ers of the Rutland Railroad Company
moved in the circuit court for the dis
trict of Vermont for an injunction to
prevent the railroad company from is
road commissioners and the states at
torneys. prevented the enforcement of
the statute. on the ground that the
railroad company, by its old charter
had a right to regulate tolls. and that
such rights were SO secured that they
could be taken away from them only
by the supreme court of Vermont. on
action of the railroad commissioners
and that in any event by reason of pro-
visions in the old charter. the supreme
court could not reduce rates below such
figure as would prevent the company
from earning twelve per cent on it's
capital stock. The claim also was
made. that although economically
operated, the railroad had been able to
earn, at best, in the last two years only
two per cent on it's preferred stock and
nothing on it's common stock.
The restraining order was granted by
Judge Wheeler. on the filing of the bill,
and, although the law went into effect
Feb. /, the mileage books did not issue.
In his opinion now handed down, the
railroad company is restrained from is
suing such mileage books, and, there
fore, it is not improbable, that even had
the advocates of the bill in the Maine
Legislature been successful. similar ac-
ton would have been taken and like
results been obtained.
The decision as handed down by
Judge Wheeler is to the effect that in
view of the proper return on invested
capital, any attempt to reduce rates so
that the company could not earn for its
Stockholders at least two per cent. on
the preferred stock, would result Writ
ually in the state taking away private
property without due process of law.
