OPINION UNANIMOUS
Statute Tries to Delegate
Legislative Power,
1t Is Held
UNANIMOUS

ST PAUL March 2s.-The State Su-
preme Court today upheld the Great
Northern Railroad IN its contention
that it had the right TO issue the $780,
600 600 of stock authorized by theboard
Of directors some months ago and which
was njoined by Attorney General
Young, who claimed that the company
should first come before the State Rail-
road and Warehouse Commission and
submit to examination to show the ne
cessity and the purpose OF the issue.
This contention Of the State was up
held by Judge Hallam in the Ramsey
County District Court, who ordered an
Injunction 10 be issued. The Supreme
Court today reversed that decision.
The opinion of the court was unani-
nous Chief Justice Stuart delivered
the opinion Of the court. which was in
part as follows:
The state having creaSnd railway corpora
tions for public purposes die Legislature has
the right to enact statute- relating TO the In
crease Of their capital stock. Such regulations
counts by such public agencies. and the issue
snd sale of fictitious. or watered stock which
is a felony I'm this State.
In the exercise Of this right the Legislature
may enact statute providing generally for
what purposes and upon what terms. conditions
and limitations increase Of stock may be
made and confer upon a commission the right
Of supervising any proposed increase.
1t may also delegate 10 the commission the
duty Of finding the facts IN each particular
case, the use, and require il, II IL finds the ex
istence OF facts that bring the case within

otherwise 10 refuse IL.
ANY statute however. which attempts 10
authorize a commission in its Judgment to al
low an increase Of capital stock for such pur-
poses and such terms II may deem ad
visabie or IN its discretion 10 refuse IL. would
be unconstitutional as an attempt to delegate
legislative power.

The WEIGHT of SCOT,

A scientific invest gator in Cincinnati
has been trying to arrive at definite
idea OF the amount of SCOT deposited in
the city in the course OF a year. One
of his tests was to place two buckets,
three-fourths flled with water, on
eleven roofs in different parts Of the
city. At the end of three months a
careful analysis Cffthe contents of the
buckets to ascertain the amount of car
bOnaceouS matter. The final computa-
ton is that il tho downtown area the
falling SCOT amounts to 54t tons d
month, or 343,1lS pounds, an average OF
several pounds 70 each inhabitant In
one of the suburbs the SCOT in the buck
ct was i64 grams to the square foot
FOR a period of thirty days. For the
same time the deposit at a central

Other cities that burn soft coal need
not fatter themselves that they fare
