RAILROAD RATELEClsLATIoN
It IL Unconstitutional and Unneces-
sary to Coniscate the Property
Of the Railways.

Testifying before the Senate Com
mittee at Washington, Inter- State Com
merce Commission Prouty said in dis
cussing the proposition to give to that
Commission the power to regulate rail-
way: rates:
Il think the railways should make
their own rates. think they should
be allowed to develop their own bust
ness! l have never advocated any law,
and I am not now in favor of any
law, which would put the rate making
power into the hands Of any COM
mission or any court. While it may be
necessary to do that some time, while
that is done in some states at the pres
ent time, while it is done in some coun-
tries, am opposed to it. The
railway rate is property. 1t Is all the
property that the railway has got. The
rest of its property is not good for
anything unless it can charge q rate.
Now 1t has always seemed to me that
when a rate was fixed, IL that rate was
an unreasonable rate, it deprives' the
railroad company of it's property pro
tanto. 1t is not necessary that you
should conf1scate the property OF a
railroad; it is not necessary that you
slould say that it shall not earn three
per cent or four per- cent. When
you put in rate that is inherently
unreasonable, you have deprived that
company of its rights. of its property,
and the Circuit Court of the United
States has jurisdiction under the four
teentE amendment to restrain that
I. I. I have looked at these cases
great many times, and I can only
come to the conclusion that railroad
company is entitled to charge a fair
and reasonable rate, and if any order
Of a commission, If any statute of a
state legislature, takes away that rate,
the fourteenth amendment protects the
railway company."
