Gould Lawyers Declare That the
Interstate Commerce Act
Is Unconstitutional.
THINK THAT IT CANNOT STAND
They Declare That III Tested Il Would
Not be Upheld by Supreme
Court.

According TO the Denver Post, law
yers OF George j. Gould IN Denver say
that the interstate commerce act which
forbids railroads owning and operating
coal companies which do an interstate
business is class legislation and will
not stand II test In the United States
supreme court. The section Of the law
relating to this matter reads:
From and after May /, 1905 It shall
be unlawful for any railroad company
to transport from any state, territory
or tho District OF Columbia or TO any
foreign country, any article or COM
modify other than timber and the
manufactured products thereof, manu-
featured, mined or produced by IL, or
under its authority, on which II may In
whole. or IN part, or in which It may
have any interest, direct or Indirect ex-
cept such articles or commodities as
may be necessary for its use IN the
conduct OK its business as a common
carrier"
AS thet provision Of the bill is not
effective for q year and half, the
Gould and other interests owning both
coal and railroad companies doing an
interstate BUSINESS, VIII nave time
either to dispose of them proftably or
else fully prepare 20 test the law.
1t IL pointed out that lumber Is the
only commodity excepted This is said
to be an act of favoritism toward the
railroads In the northwest where thou
sands Of acres of timber lands have
been given the railroads by the gov
eminent The attorneys say that II
the law applies to one industry II should
apply TO all, and that no railroad should
be permitted to carry on any business
except that Of common carrier.
But the bill itself, they say. Is class
legislation, as 1t Is directed against one
line OF business, ana Il carried to the
limit would prevent George j, Gould
or any other railroad owner from buy
ing q farm and shipping the produce
from one state to another, or might
even prevent him from riding on his
own trains.
In Colorado. George j. Gould owns
the Colorado Fuel & Iron company and
the Denver e. Rio Grandc and Missouri
Pacific railroads. After May, 1908, II
Is said that II viii be In violation OF
the law for Mr. Gould to retain posses
sion OF the three companies mentioned
above, providing Colorado Fuel & Iron
company continued to do an Interstate
coal business.
