Myrtle Reed was born in Chicago
September 81, 1874, and when she was
two days old her father chose the
name of Myrtle.
"She is surely going to be literary
and, of course, she will marry. So
we must choose a name that sill look
well in print and she neets haVe ut
one" So they called her Myrl.-. and
in the course of events both his pre-
dictions came true. Myrtle began to
write as a mere child and her first
publication, Love Letters of a Mu-
stefan" appeared when she was
twenty-five. 1.-THE Spinster Book"
soon followed, and her most popular
production. Lavender and Old Lace"
was written when she was twenty
seven. She was married when she
was thirty-two to James Sydney Nc
Cullough and this entrance into the
realms of domesticity led to the pro-
duction of a series of little cook books
under the pen name of Olive Green.
During the five remaining years of
Mrs. McCullough's life, with the en-
couragement and sympathy of her
husband she wrote nine or ten books

Washington. June s.-Summarizing the
decision OF the Supreme Court Of the
United States in the Minnesota state rate
case. Attorney General McReynoljs said
tonight
The court holds that Congress in the
interstate commerce act mas not deprived
the states OF the RICH; Of fixing maximum
lntrastate rates. They still have that
power. In contestng a rate fixed by the
state on the ground that the rate is con-
fscatory. the decision says that the bur
den OF proof Of coniscation falls upon
the railroad. The court found that the
Minneapolis q 81. Louis Railroad had
established that the rates affecting them
were condscatory, but that the Northern
Pacihc and Great Northern had failed in
such proof"
other officials Of the Department OF
Justice interpreted the decision as assert
ing the power Of Congress to legislate re-
garding interstate rates II Congress be-
Iieves that interstate and intrastate com
merce has become so blended as TO make

RIGHTS OF CONGRESS AS TO
RATE REGULATION DEFINED

Justice Hughes. who read the opinion
OF the court. reviewed at some length
the constitutional rights Of Congress in
the regulation OF interstate industry.
Justice Hughes said in part.
81 The Constitution gives Congress an
authority at all times adequate to secure
the freedom OF interstate commercial in
tercourse from state control and to pro-
vide effective regulation of that inter
course as the national interest may de-
mand.
80. The commerce that is confined within
one state and does not affect other states.
is reserved TO the state. This reservation
is only Of that power which is consistent
with the grant to Congress. The author
ity OF Congress extends 20 every part ~
interstate commerce and TO every instru-
mentality or agency by which # is car
rled on. and the fun control BY Congress
over the subjects committed 70 its regu-
lation is not 10 be denied or thwarted by
the commingiing Of interstate and intra-
state operations
"3. Even without action BY congress
the commerce clause OF the Constitution
necessarily excludes the states from d.
rect control Of subjects embraced within
the clause which are Of such nature that
IL regulated at all their regulation should
be prescribed by a single authority. There
IS thus secured the essential immunity Of
interstate intercourse from the imposition
by the states OF direct burdens and re-
straints.
4. But there remains 10 the states the
exercise OF the power appropriate 10 their
territorial jurisdiction in making suitable
provision for local needs. The state may
provide local Improvements, create and
regulate local facilities and adopt protec-
tive measures OF a reasonable character
I'm the interest Of the health, safety.
morals and welfare OF Its people. although
interstate commerce may incidentally or
Indirectly bo involved. Where matters
falling within the state power. as above
described are also by reason Of th6ir re-
lation to Interstate commerce within the
reach OF the federal power. Congress must
be the Judge Of the necessity OF federal
action ard until Congress acts the states
may act. The paramount authority Of
Congress enables IL 10 intervene at its
discretion for the complete and effective
government Of that which has been conf
mitted TO its care, and for this purpose
and 10 this extent, in response 10 q con-
yiction OF national need, 10 displace local
laws by substituting laws OF It's own.

New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1913-06-10


II IS to assert that the exercise Of the
legislative judgment in determining what
shall be the carrier charge for the IN
trastate service is itself subject 10 the
carriers will. But this statewide au-
thority controls the carrier and Is not
controlled by IT, and the idea that the
power Of the state TO fix reasonable rates
for its internal traffic is limited by the
mere action Of the carrier in laying an
Interstate rate 20 places across the states
border is foreign TO our Jurisprudence.
II this authority of the state be re-
st-icted L must be by virtue Of the para
mount power Of Congress over interstate
commerce and its instruments. and. In
view Of the nature of the subject.
limitation may not be implied because OF
a dormant federal power-that is, one
which has not been exerted, but can only
be found IN the actual exercise Of federal
control in such measure as to exclude this
action by the state which otherwise would
clearly be within its province"
In taking up the confscatory phase OF
the controversy Justice Hughes first
considered whether the rates were con
fscatory as applied to the Northern Pa
cifc. He said this would turn upon what
was the fair value" Of the railroad 8
property. He tested the lower court s
theory or arriving at a fair value by
finding the reproduction cost new by
ascertaining how this theory worked on
the value Of the railroads lands. lie de-
clared that the lower court was in error
in adding 30 per cent TO the normal value
Of the land in some instances and @o
per cent at the bis terminals in arriving
at what the court considered the cost OF
reproducing its property
