BRAXTON SPEAKS
IN VIRGINIA CASES S;
Author Of Corporation Commits

That It Is Not Court.
E: ARGUMENT TO-DAY
Braxton's IS Closing Speech.

Especial to The Times-Dispatch.1
ASHEVILLE, n. c.. July b.-T!le
hearing in the railway rate cases o.
leading Southern railroads against the
CORPORA ton Commission OF virginia to
prevent the enforcement OF the new
railway rates OF two cents per mile
was resumed before Judge Pritchard
this morning. when ME-. A. T. Thorn,
general counsel for the, Southern, con-
Tcluded his argument against the cons
stitutionality of the rate law. Mr, a.
e. Braxton, Of Richmond. special coun :,
sci for Virginia, began his address %
the court. and will continue Tomorrow
morning and close the argument on
both sides.
The exceedingly formidable nature
OF the commissions defense Is now
fully repealed. The issue is a clear
cut one OF law for the court, since the
Virginia counsel admitted for the sake
OF argument in this hearing that the
allegations of the railways as to rates
being unreasonably low were correct
and rested their case on the prop osition
that the United States=G Circuit Court
has no power to restrain the commits
sion from enforcing the rates, Whilo
in the North Carolina cases the coun-
sci FOR the commission contested the

BrnxtOn's Argument Fine.
Mr.. Braxton is the author of the
provision in the Virginia Constitution
relating to the Corporation Commits
sion. and perhaps this fact added to
hi, zeal In argument: but whatever
the cause, his address must rank with
the finest ever heard in this city. 1t
dealt with the question OF whether
the Corporation Commission offVir-
GINA was court. and the speaker
sought to rebut the arguments adj
vanced by Mr., Thorn that it was not.
because 1t Is inconsistent with re-
publican form of government, because
lits procedure was not in accord with
lated the Virginia Constitution. in that
1t combined legislative and judicial
functions,
Answering the last charge. the
speaker brieny said in effect that this
could not be true, because the Consti'
tuition Of Virginia created both the
Commission and the Supreme Court
and declared the Commission 8
valid court. If the court was

speaker. then the courts existing a
