HEPBURN RATE LAW
UPHELD BY COURT
Commodities Clause of Interstate
Commerce Act of 1906 APP
proved by Supreme Judges.
While Law Is Held to be Constitu.
tionaI, Court Does Not concede
the Contentious of the Gov
eminent as to Its Scope.

Washington--Th the "commodi-
ties clause" of the interstate COM
merce act of 1906, known as the Hep
burn rate law, is constitutional was in
effect declared on Monday, May 3, by
the supreme court of the United
States The decision was announced
by Justice White. The court reversed
and remanded the decision of the
United States circuit court, but the
only directions were to enforce and
apply the statute as 1t is now con-
strued
Briefly summarized, the decision OF
the supreme court in tue commodities
clause cases holds the law to be con-
stitutional, but 1t does not concede the
contentious of the government as to
It's scope. An especial exception was
as to the ownership of stock in a aft
ferent corporation which ii was held
did not constitute such ownership as
would prohibit transportation under
the terms of the law. 1t was also held
that ownership of the commodity APP
piled only to the time of transporta-
ton. II before transporting It the
railroad company has in good faith
parted with a commodity 1t may carry
At. The principal point of the decision
was In relation to the railroads hold
ing the stocH OF subordinate com.
panies and on that important point the
finding was favorable to the roads.
Justice Harlan dissented on the
stock feature, but otherwise the de-
cision was unanimous.
These cases had been decided by
the circuit court favorably to the rail-
roads In that the clause of the Hep
burn rate law, which prohibits inter-
state railroads from carrying COM
modities manufactured. mined or pro
duced directly or indirectly by the
roads, was declared unconstitutional.
The general impression had been
that that decision would be affirmed
In tho supreme court. When. there
fore. there was reversal instead OF
an affirmation. the interest was much
magnified.
