Nevada Railroad Commission u
Every Point Against s. p. r r Co.
In an opinion ust handed down BY

ity Of the Nevada Railroad Commits
sion Is absolutely made manifest. The
Southern Pacific Railroad Company
sought to wipe out the organization Of

that IL was illegally formed. By the

sustains the contentious Of the Commits
sion on every point. and dissolves the
several ~injunctions issued against 1t at
the instance Of the railroad corporation.
The powers Of the Railroad Commits
sion Of Nevada being thus sustained.
the Commission will continue to fix
rates and regulate traffic within the linn.
it's Of this State as heretofore. In other
words. the State Of Nevada has . voice
in the traffic rates Of railroads within
its borders. and Uncle Sam will back it's
