COMING DITY CLAUSE VALID
Decision r. ndered by the Supreme

Decision r. ndered by the Supreme
oourt CT me S.nleu STATES.
The commodities clause of the Hep.
,urn rate law is valid. This important
and anxiously awaited decision was
handed down by the United States
supreme court.
The court holds in brief that con-
gress acted within it's constitutional
prerogatives in regulating commerce
in passing the section of the law at.
tackled.
Briefly summarized, the decision
holds the law to be constitutional, but
does not concede the contentious of
the government as to it's scope. A
special exception was made as to the
ownership of stock in a different cor
pOration, which, it was declared, did
not constitute such ownership as to
prohibit transportation under the
terms of the law.
1t was held also that ownership of
the commodity applied only to the
time of transportation. If before
transporting it. the railroad company
has parted with the commodity in good
faith it may carry it. The principal
point of the decision was in relation
to holding of the stock of subordinate
companies by railways, and on that
the finding was favorable to the roads.
