]. G. McGREw WINS SUIT
An Important Decision Handed
Down by the Supreme Court.


Tuesday the Supreme Court
of Missouri handed down a de-
cisiOn in the case of ]. c. Nc
Grew, Sr., of this city VS.. the
Missouri Pacific railroad whereby
a judgment of $7,462.43 obtained
in the circuit court of this county
is sustained. Hon. Alexander
Graves was the attorney for the
plaintiff.
This suit grew out of diScrim-
nations in freight rates charging
more for a short haul than for
a long haul.
Judge Hall who filed the rul-
ing opinion of the court says;
AT common law common car
riers are required to make reason
able charges and extortionate
charges can be restrained by the
courts and at common laws
therefore, the reasonableness OF
charges is Judicial question, but
the state, in its sovereign capacity
has the power to fix rates and
authorize them to be charged and
to place them beyond the power
of interference of the courts on
the ground that they are extOr'
tionate. Statutory rates, except
for some constitutional statutory
provision so authorizing, cannot
be adjudged by the courts to be
extortionate. Rates established
by the legislature under section
IA, article y of the constitution
cannot be adjudged extortionat'
by the courts. Section u, ar
ticle y of our constitution clear
ly establishes an unconditiona
short haul rule, without regard t.
direction or to circumstances an(
conditions. This section de
elares that it shall be unlawful
for any railroad company t.
charge for the transportation o
freight or passengers a create
amount for a less distance thai
the amount charged for an!
greater distance. That declara
ton establishes a rule and create
a right in every passenger ant
shipper to a compliance wit
and obedience to its terms"
