Saturday, July Is, 1907.

The opinion of Judge Pritchard, OF
the United States Circuit Court OF
Appeals, in the two-cent passenger
rate case, affecting all railroads OPP
Grating in Virginia, has been handed
down and the people of the State are
AGAIN at the mercy of the railroads
until it is passed upon and reversed
bv a higher tribunal. Judge Pritch-
ard holds that the Corporation Com
mission, under the provisions OF the
Virginia Constitution, has no right to
exercise the functions of a court, that
its functions are only legislative and
that, therefore. it was not acting as
a court when it attempted to put into
effect the reduced rates on the rail-
roads. The effect of the opinion is
that the restraining order formerly
granted at the request of the rail-
roads will be continued and if the
opinion is ultimately sustained by the
Supreme Court of the United States,
tina. the Commission will be Invested
of all power to regulate the railroads
operating in Virginia.
The victory so far is on the side OF
the railroads, but different result
may be expected later. In some way
at no distant day Virginia will be
able to assert her power. In a fight
between a sovereign State and the
railroads there can be no question in
the end as to which will be the win
ner. In that view the News--Leadei
concurs and in support thereof says
in part:
Suppose the Virginia legislature al
its session next January enacts Law
forbidding railways from charging
more than two cents mile for carry
ing passengers from point to point ii
this State? Suppose commonwealth
attorneys throughout the State are
instructed to have every railway
agent, conductor or official violating
the law or responsible for its violation
arrested and indicted and to continue
to arrest and indict as each case oc
ours? This would be an easy ant
direct way of bringing on the direc
fight between the State and the rail
ways which the latter have challenged
1t is safe to predict that there will b
a fight and that the railways will lose
The people of State controlling
legislatures and executive branche
and represented in the courts have to-
many ways in which they may strik
to stand idle while their authority
dehed and their interest are disre
garded.
