CHURCHMAN ACT INVALID.

Judge Holt, of Staunton. in
holding the Churchman two-cent
mileage bill unconstitutional. as he
did yesterday, only acted as The
Timos-Dispatch felt sure any court
would upon the legal determination
of this question. When the Church
man bin was enacted The Times
Dispatch pointed out that there
were grave doubts a. To its con-
stitutionality, the sole right for
making rates having been confer
rcd by the Constitution specifically
on the Corporation Commission.
Even were this provision absent
in our Constitution, the provision
of the Churchman act would seem
to be repugnant 20 the United
States Constitution, because 1t has
been specifically held by the Su-
prcme Court of the United States
that it is unconstitutional TO COM
pei a railroad TO sell transportation
in bulk, say il 200 or 10. 900 mile
books, al cheaper rate than is
chargcdfor lesser distances. While
not denying the right of Congress
or of the separate States 20 fix the
maximum rates to be charged by
railroads, the court held. in the case
OF Lake Shore Railway vs.. Smith
l73 L. 5, 6S4 that the right to
purchase tickets at a reduced rate
for those who bought wholesale.
while leaving other purchasers sub
Ject TO the general rule, was un-
constitutional The court said that
the argument that such q provision
was merely a convenience for the
travelling public might be stretched
so far as 20 compel the railroad to
haul the public free for a con-
Venlcncc.
1t IS understood that this decision
was brought to the attention of the
Legislature while the Churchman
bill was under discussion. The
opinion of Judge Holt, witch is
based entirely upon the Federal
decision, is sufficient explanation
of why the Corporation Commits
sion has not attempted, under the
urging of a number of Virginia
papers, TO enforce an act almost
identical in It's provisions with one
already adjudged unconstitutional.
