tends to every business conducted
within it's borders, though such BUSH
ness may also extend into interstate
mmerc Any act regulating or ef-
fecting an enterprise having an inter-
state character necessarily affects the
conditions under which it completes
with ike enterprises carried on In
other states. This will apply to tele-.
phones, teIegraphs, natural gas and
oil companies n many other enter
prises. And the passage of a law
regulating the hours of labor within
one state might make it difficult or
impossible for it's corporations or
citizens to compete successfully with
those engaged in the same business
in other states where no such regu-
lation exists. The same condition
would arise from the passage Of a
workman's compensation law, or a law
changing the liability Of employers in
one state, when other states have no
such laws or different ones.
IF the doctrine is. to be that the
laws of trade may make the perform
ance Of a lawful duty by a state in
the regulation of interstate commerce.,
who is to prescribe the test or rule
for applying 1T? Or shall we go to
the logical conclusion that the laws
OF trade are higher than the consti
tuition and must prevail without re-
gard to the directness or extent of
real or fancied interference with their
full operation and effect?"

VISIT MANDAN

Mandan Pioneer: Mandan yester-
day was honored with a visit from a
number Of the leading officials of the
Northern Pacific road who are max
ing their regular tour Of inspection
over the company's lines.
The party included Gen. Mgr. g. A.
Goodell, Gen. Supt. e. 9. Blanchard,
Gen. Supt. G. l.. Nichols of Living
ston, Chief Engineer and Maintenance
OF Way Andrew Gibson, Superin-
tendent Lantiss of Glendive and
Superintendent Birdsell of Jamestown.
Blanchard, who arrived yesterday
from st. Paul, came in from the west
Wednesday night and left at 1880 in
the morning for Mott. leaving there
shortly after 9 and arriving here
about 4 o'clock.
Soon after their arrival Mr.. Good
ell met by appointment e. H. Nc
Hugh and S. w. Unkenholz, who, act
ting for the Farmers Elevator Co,
took up the question of the closing of
Sixth avenue, a matter that has de-
layed the building Of the viaduct at
Eighth avenue, and also the extensive
yard improvements at both east n
west ends of the city. The matter,
according to both parties, was gone
into at length, and it is believed a
satisfactory adjustment Of the differ
ences will be arrived at within a
week, when the directors of the Farm
ers Elevator Co. meet. AS soon as
the matter is definitely settled, &C
cording to Mr.. Goodell, a large force
.r --a. ~rflJ 10 gnf 10 rrOrlra on fha i'm .
provements. The people Mandan will
be pleased to learn of the prospects OF
la speedy settlement of the contro-
versy, for it means much to the city
to have the company proceed with the
| extensive plans which the Northern
Pacific has laid out.
1t was the intention Of the party
to make a tour over the north line to
Fort Clark, but owing to a pressure
| of business which called most of the
| officials to st. Paul, this tour will be
deferred until later, perhaps after the
gap is built to Stanton.
The officials were somewhat retic-
ent about the plans Of the company
in the matter of extension work, but
admitted that there was considerable
work projected though they could give
no definite assurance at this time as
to Just how much would be finished
this year. One thing is certain the
line stanton and the line from Glen
dive to Sidney, Mont, will be built
Just as fast as the weather will per-
NIT.
New Passenger Station.
The officials had with them plans
for a magnificent new passenger sta
ton at Mandan, although no definite
time for its building was stated there
is hope that as soon as opposition To
the company's plans in the city Is
removed and the differences settled
so that the company a proceed with
out danger of being molested not only
will the yards and passenger station
be built but division offices will be
\ located here occupying the offices in
the second floor of the new freight
station. This large work laid out
west of the river, the lines converg-
ing at Mandan, will mean for this city
the greatest railroad center between
the twin cities and the coast.
The party spent last evening at
the commercial club rooms, about
seventy five business men being pres
ent. They left for the east on Nc. 6
| early this morning.

GOVERNORS
PROTEST To
HIGH court
Continued From Page one.

forth the claim that because Mime
sofa had required the railroads to
reduce their rates from such cities as
st. Paul. Mimi, TO Duluch, Mimi, on
the state boundary the interstate busi-
ness of the railroads from Duluth, has
been affected. Similar conditions, it
AIS stated, were t o be found in Kan
sas City, Kant and Kansas City, Mo-;
East st. Louis, I'LL, and st. Louis, Mo:
Omaha, Nsb,, and Council Bluffs, Ia;
Cincinnati, O., and Covington and
Newport, Ky. The vice of the Min
nesota decision, 1t was urged, was not
in an incorrect statement OF Minnesota
geography, but in the plain disregard
Of the provisions of the federal consti-
tuition, which established the relation
of the nation and the states by giving
one control over interstate matters
and the other control I'VE state affairs.
1t was admitted that there might be
some effect on interstate commerce
when states regulate state rates, but
If was asserted time and again in the
brief that if a railroad enjoys a rea-
sonable return under state rates, it
enjoys every right to which it is en-
titled.
''The test cannot be-" declare the
governors, whether the effect of fix
ing the local rates may or will be to
lead the railroads to lower their inter
state rates, but whether the local
rates are fair and reasonable, for IL
they are so and the sum of them is
so much lower than the interstate
rates as to lead shippers to take the
trouble and risk of rebuilding or re-
shipping at state lines, this is a per-
fect1y lawful condition the advantage
of which the public is entitled to en-
joy. And as the cost n convenience
Of carriage in that way can be no less.
but, as is we'll known, would rather
be greater, the advantage would re-
main with the through rate ever If ii
were reduced SO as too equal the sum
Of the local rates. The railroads can
not invoke the commerce clause of
the federal constitution to shield
themselves against fair and reasonable
rates fixed by a state for it's own in
ternal business. The effect of these
on interstate rates is not only Incl
dental and indirect but also legitimate
under the dual form Of government
lii OuSh "illSI we tNJOy hdppllSSS ana
prosperity beyond compare.
IF the local rates as reduced by
Minnesota are still fair and the re-
duction leads the railroads to lower
through rates correspondingly. then
interstate will have been
relieved of a burden instead of nav
ing one imposed on it; and this would
be accomplished not directly by the
states regulation Of its own COM
merce but indirectly by the action of
the railroads themselves which would
be only just and right"
Testing the Minnesota decision by
its consequences, the governors declar-
ed that it was plain that the inevitable
effect OF the idea that business neces-
stiles, peculiar location of lines of
transportation and of commercial GEN.
tiers can make an act of a state regu-
lating it's local rates a regulation of
interstate rates and therefore invalid.
would be the destruction of the state
control over it's own affairs.

W. LARRABEE is DEAD
FORMER GOVERNOR OF IOWA
DIES AT HOME IN CLERMONT.
For Sixty Years He Had Beer Large
Factor in Development of Com
monWeaIth.

Clermont, Ia, Nov. 18.-Former
Gov. William Larrabee is dead at his
home near here at the age of eighty.
Since early in the spring the former
governor had been a sufferer from
rheumatism and under the care OF a
nurse With remarkable will power
he bent every energy to live to cast
his vote for Theodore Roosevelt, and
his wish was fulfilled. Two months
ago he refused longer to take medi-i
cine. His wife, all the living children
and grandchildren were at his death
bed
Resident of Iowa for sixty years,
Mr.. Larrabee had been large factor
in the development of the state. He
was born January 20, 1882, the son Of
a soldier of 1912, at Ledyard, Conn.
Mr.. Larrabee's public career began
in 1868, when he was elected to the
state senate. He remained a mem
Der of that body until 1885, when he
was elected governor of Iowa. He
served four years, giving the state
a thorough business administration.
During his administration a crisis
was reached in the murder of Doctor
Haddock at Sioux City because Of
his temperance activities. Governor
Larrabee aided in hunting down the
criminals.
The most important legislation of
his term was that providing for rail-
way regulation in Iowa, which remains
practically unchanged. 1t established
for the first time in the west the right
of state to fix rates and it was large
ly because of this that a Democratic
governor was elected to succeed him.
