tnat It has the right to issue $780,

ago and which was enjoined BY
Attorney General b. IT, Dung, who
claimed that the railroad should first
come before the state railroad com
ission and submit to an examina-
ton to show the necessity and the
purpose Of the proposed issue.
This contention Of the state was
upheld by Judge Hallam II the Ram
sey county court, who ordered an In
junction to Issue.
The supreme court today reversed
that decision. The decision is. BY
