INHERENT IN LEGISLATURE.
The right to enact statutes and
regulate such corporations to the end
that only Just and reasonable charges
may be made IS inherent in a state
legislature for that commerce which
lies wholly within its borders and
the power and duty to say what is
reasonable and just when such an is

the legislature, but upon the courts
OF this land
"In other words, the idea that
courts can legislate either directly
or indirectly is repugnant to our en-
tire scheme of government When

that a certain rate or fixed charge is
unjust and unreasonable, then it has
used its power TO its fullest extent.
and the overwhelming weight of
authority establishes these PROPOSE
