IMPORTANT DECISION
AGAINST The BURLINGTON
HELD TO HAVE
JURISDICTION IN EXPORT
FREIGHT RATES.

Demurrer of the Railroad Overruled by
Judge Mcpherson in the United States
Circuit Court at Kansas City-Decis-
ion Tends to Destroy the Contention

Kansas City, Mo-, May 22.-The de-
murrer of the Burlington railway, de-
nying jurisdiction Of the government
in export freight rates, was oVerruled
in the Uniteu States circulL eodlt here

Red Oak, Iowa. The decision is OF

and of particular weight at present, be-
cause 1t tends to destroy The con,en-

need not be made public.
1t means, too, that the Burlington

Attention was drawn to the report OF
the interstate commerce commisslon,
December IA, 1905, In which it was said
that it was moted question whether
the present act requires carriers to file
and maintain tariffs under which they
transport exports and imports, but the
commission has number of times de-
cided that the statutes covered this
point,
"lhe same section, the decision says
! defines the kind of commerce covered
by the act, and includes that from the
United States to a foreign country "
The fact that half billion of dollars
worth of exports are shipped from tht
United States is powerful argument
in favor of the proposition that they
should not be hampered with rate tar
iffs difficult or impossible to observe
because ocean rates vary from day Z
day. But is this an argument that cal
persuade the courts upon the question
of what construction shall be given
statute, if such statute is yalid?"
The statute, Judge Mcpherson says
1 forbids lowering. the rates except OF
three days notice, and forbids raising
them, except on ten days notice. 1t !
clear he continues, that carriers b.
railways and water inland, when acting
under a common agreement, are cover
ed by the statutes, as well as commere
by any method with an adjacent for
eign country.
Because these are specifically enum
Grated, 1t is contended that all other
are excluded. Conceding the force Q
this elementary and recognized rule 0
construction, there, in my opinion,
the error of the entire argument OF de
fendant's counsel. Congress did nc
enumerate ocean commerce, because
would have been frivolous to do So"
Judge Mcpherson says full force ca
be given to the statute only by enforc
ing it on shipments to New York an
then transferring the merchandise
vessels, when, of course, IL passes froi
the jurisdiction
ut seems to me-" he says in conclu
sion, that when this is done 1t ca
be under an established rate, proclaim
ed by a published and posted tart
rate"
