RATE DECISION.
Corporation Commission May Make
Intrastate Rates.

Washington, June 16.-ApplyinC
the Supreme Courts decision in the
Mime sofa rate case of conditions in
irginia, the Virginia state corporation
commission has the authority to
make intrasta:e freight and passenger
rates, but, if these rates are too high
and believed confiscatory, the rail
roads have the right to carry this
fight before the highest judicial tri-
5unal in the land. establish their cast,
and upset the rates.
An analysis of the courts decision,
lawyers say, points clearly to the FACT
that it tends more toward federal
contradiction than it does to the
rights of the states. Concretely, tie
effect of the rate decision may bc
summarized as follows: o. A sta:c
nav enact and enforce a maximum
rate law, unless congress sees fit to
exercise. its jurisdiction over all
transportation by passing uniform
maximum rate law for the whole
country. (2) The interstate com
.mcrce commission may not, without
further authority from congress, in
terfere with interstate rates as fixeo
by state legislature or railroad com
mission.
