Pennsylvania Railroads Win Their
Fight Against The State.
COURT OF LAST RESORT 50 DECIDES
Affirms Decision of Lower Court by
Vote OF Four to Three and it's Be.
licved 1t Cannot be Appealed to
United States Court.
(py Associated Press,

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Jan. 90
The two cent railroad fare now In
force in Pennsylvania was today de-
clared unconstitutional by the state
Supreme Court which handed down an
opinion affirming the decision OF the
common pleas court OF Philadelphia
rendered last September The vote
OF the court was four to three, the
dissenting opinions being handed down
By Justice Mestresat.
The two cent care law was enacted
by the last legislature. the bill passing
both houses by unanimous vote.
The railroads fought the bill and
after 1t became law the Pennsylva-
mia railroads contended that the
law was unconstitutional in that
il was unreasonable ana contrary, and
the court in n decision sustained the
contention.
The majority opinion in the case
was written by Justic Mitchell. 1t
declares that the real question in the
case is whether. the new rate law
transgressed provisions of the con-
sltution that the legislation would en-
slave power, all law shall be exercised
only in such manner that no Injustice
shall be done TO the corporations.
In conclusion the decision SAYS:
The corporation is entitled to make
fair profit on every branch of its
business subject to the limitations
that its corporate duties must be per-
formed even though at a loss. What
Is fair profit is a highly complicated
and difficult question. The court be-
low ayailed itself of all the best evi.
dence that was offered or shown to be
obtainable. considered with exemplary
patience and care, their conclusion
that the enforcement of 1907 against
the complainant would do Injustice to
the corporation is beyond just criti
c!sm.''
II the records of the case show
that any Federal question is involved
the state can appeal to the United
States Supreme Court. 1t is not
likely, however, that an appeal viii
be taken and today's decision may
therefore be regarded as final
