Rate Making as a Problem.

Government regulation OF railroad
rates Is a very complex business. This
has received another illustration by
the ruling OF the Interstate Commerce
Commission that the tariff enforced
against a carrier by the State for traffic
within the State-intrastate-m also
be accorded to interstate traffic moving
IN that State under substantially similar
conditions. This raises question like
the one precipitaied in the Minnesota
rate case, which led TO the appointment
by the conference OF governors OF a
committee to appear before the Supreme
Court of the United States on behalf of
The States. (In that instance the lower
cOurt had abolished State rate to en-
force Federal authority
Eventually the Supreme Court of the
United States will have to pass upon
the entire general question of adjusting
the authority of the Federal govern
ment. but students of the problem and
State economists do not sec exactly
how the conflict OF jurisdiction in rate
making will be avoided with satisfaction
TO all the manifold interests concerned.
Manifcstly II IS a difficult task to solve,
and it will call for the highest sort of
genius in lawmaking before regulation
by combined State and Federal author
ity will evolve into a scientific and prac-
tical success.
