Decision viii be Important.

The life of the interstate commerce
law will depend upon the decision of
the court i'm the Southern Pacific case.
The direct question of the right of the
interstate commerce commission to
regulate and fix railroad rates is in
volved in this case, which was certi-
fled to the supreme court by the cir
cult court i'm northern California. The
Southern Pacific, and the Oregon e.
California railroad are arrayed against
the commission in this fight The low
er court was divided on decision-two
to one. 1t is thought possible that the
court may remand this case. and If so
the question of legality of the com
missions power to fix rates will rest
in the decision of the Missouri river
rate cases, recently passed upon adj
versely by tfre commission.
Another important case upon the
docket is the famous Chicago live
stock terminal charge case. This is
the case OF Stickney ct al. VS.. the com
mission, a bill to annul the order of the
commission requiring carriers to de-
sist from exacting the 81 terminal
charge on each car of live stock sent
into Chicago from western territory
In this case the circuit court at st
Paul granted an injunction TO the
roads and the commission is appeal
