ARGUE LONG AND SHORT HAUL.
Clause Declared Unconstitutional BY
Lawyers in Rate Cases.

The fourth section Of the interstate
commerce act-the long and short haul
provision-is unconstitutional according to
claims made by attorneys appearing be-
fore the interstate commerce commission
yesterday afternoon In the inter Rocky
Mountain rate cases. 1t was frankly as
serted by the representatives. of the ship
pers that II the commission does not is
sue an order providing fatty that the
charge for q longer haul should be great
err than that for shorter haul they will
carry the matter to Congress and insist
OH the enactment of provision which
will give the commission no discretionary
power in the matter.
On the other hand the commission, it is
pointed out, is purely administrative
body and has no power to pass upon the
constitutionality of any part of the act
to regulate commerce. It is claimed that
it simply enforces the law as it finds 1t
on the statute books. leaving to the courts
the determination Of any constitutional
question that may arise.
