INJUNCTION PROHIBITING STATE
FROM ENFORCING THE TWO

Bonds Filled by the Roads to lndemni

St Louis, Feb. 9.--Temporary in.

ment of the two-cent passenger fare
and certain freight rates.
The NJ, K. & T., and the Santa We
railroads gave bond for $25000O each
and the Gulf. Colorado and Santa Fe
for $4,000 to protect passengers if It
is ultimately determined that the high.
er rates should not be continued.
The orders followed an opinion de-
livered by Judge Hook in which he
held the evidence showed that by the
present rates in Oklahoma the rail-
roads were not earning a fair income
on their investment
Judge Hook held that in determin
ing the earning power of a railroad
dolng an interstate and local business
there is tendency to deny that out
standing bonds and stocks are evi-
dences of value. He said these must
be taken into account in ascertaining
the value within any state.
In his opinion, Judge Hook said.
The number of tons hauled one
mile has no bearing ON the value of
property save as revenue is produced.
Passengers are not hauled by weight
and the passenger and ton mile can
not be reduced 10 a common term.
The earnings in the state can only
fairly be determined upon a mileage
basis.'
Upon the mileage basis, Judge
Hook found the earnings OF the Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas in Oklahoma
was 5 1-3 per cent and that of the
sante Fe system az per cent. This.
he said, was moi a fair earning. The
