Commerce Commission win APP
peal to Supreme Court
From Decision of the Missouri
River Rate Case.
THROUGH RATES o. L.
But Sum of Locals Is Held to
Be Unreasonable.
Opinion Affects Topeka and
Western Traffic.

Washington, Sept Although no
formal conference of the Interstate
commerce commission has been held
since the PRONUNCIATION of the United
States circuit courts decision in the
| Missouri rate case, it has been deter
mined that an appeal shall be taken
! &c the United States supreme court as
soon as possible
Members Of the commission and law
yers attached to the body are convinc-
ed that the circuit court failed TO grasp
fully the points commended for by the
commission in the trial So far as the
commission Is concerned It exercised
IN the PRONUNCIATION Of the order in the
case, only the power conferred express
" upon Il by the Interstate commerce
act
The commission decided for instance,
that the rate on certain commodities
!, from New York city to Kansas City was
unreasonable, that IT Is commended, -
a power clearly within the Jurisdiction
Of the commission. The rate IS made
up of a sum Of the through rates from
New York to Mississippi river points
and a sum of the local rates from those
points to Kansas Guy. The through
rate from New York to Mississippi river
points IS considered reasonable by the
commission, but the sum of the local
rates from the Mississippi to Kansas
City, when applied to through ship
meuts is considered unreasonably high.
was reduced.
In a nutshell, this is the substance OF
the difference between the mmtssion
and the majority of the circuit court
The commission maintains that the
present through rates are unreasonable
and therefore reduced them
The court issued the Injunction be-
cause, in its Judgment the commits
sion had interfered with the COM
merce Of the localities affected by
laying upon them an artificial hand
that congress never intended should
De put forth and expressly says, in the
opinion handed down that it is not
dealing with rate adjustments or rate
reduction
In an opinion dissenting from that
Of the majority Of the circuit court
Judge Baker finds there is law for the
commissions action and says
IF congress cannot consritutIOnalIY
make a general declaration that the
rates shall be reasonable and not IN
justly discriminatory and then trust
an executive body to hear evidence
and decide questions of fact respect
ing reasonabIeness and Just dis
elimination. the power OF congress
over rates would be worthless
It IS maintained by the commission
and will be maintained before the
supreme court that once the rates be-
tween two widely separated points
are fixed on a reasonable basis, the
adjustment of Intermediate rates and
the rates to localities affected by the
original order of the commission
necessarily must be worked out by
the railroads themselves
