NEBRASKA CASE.
\ Maximum Rate Case Recently Ds
 ARAoA

Maximum Rate Case Recently De- cided.
 In view of the legal fight that has commenced in Alabama in regard to the recent laws passed to regulate railroads, the opinion of the United States Supreme Court in the Nebraska maximum rate case will be of inter est.
 In a recent editorial of The New York Journal of Commerce and Com mercial Bulletin, the Nebraska law was fully aired. The editorial in part
 'The court pointed out that the true distinction is between the delegation of power to make the law. which nec- what 1t shall be, and the granting of authority as to its execution. It was conceded that the former could not be done, so that if conferring authority road rates be a delegation of Iegisla- tive power, it is clearly unconstitution- al.
 Decision in Nebraska Case. fact 1t was fully established by the de- cision of the United States Supreme Court in what is known as the Ne braska maximum rate case that a pose any rates for faces patted her on the back and admired which are not high enough to produce a fair return on the fair value of the property of a
 
 held that the question whether any given rates are adequate or not is not a matter which Legislature can de- eide, but must ultimately be a sub tect of judicial inquiry To quote its own language:
 :" Tn order to ascertain that value. the oroginal cost of construction, the amount expended in permanent im- value of It's bonds and stocks. the pres ent as compared with the original cost of construction, the probable earning capacity under any rates prescribed by statute and the sum required to meet operating expenses, are all matters for consideration, and to be given such weight as may be just and right in the particular case. What the company is entitled to is a fair return upon the value of that which 1t employs for the public convenience.'
 Within Its Own Limits
 "It was, however, the judgment of the court that the reasonableness or the unreasona bleness of rates pre- scribed by a State for the transport ation of persons and property wholely within its own limits, must be determ- ined without reference to the business of an interstate character done by the carrier, or to the profits derived from that business. The State can not jus tify unreasonably low rate for domes- tic transportation. considered alone up- on the ground that the carrier Is earn ing large profits on Its interstate bus mess, over which. so far as rates are concerned. the State has no control. That is to say, that railroad cannot be compelled to do business within a given State at improbable figures on the ground that its Hines in another State are SO profitable that the com pany as a whole would still earn money, The rates established within any State must be such as will give a fair return on the railway properties inside of that State measured by the volume oe traffic done within its bor- ders"
