The Railroad Rate Decision.

THE Supreme Court has in its decis-
ion relative TO the Minnesota Railroad
rate cases, reverted to the doctrine of
State rights, giving to the States, until
such time as Congress shall intervene,
the power to fix railroad rates on inter-
state traffic
Heretofore the power to fix interstate
rates has reposed solely with the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, one single
authority. And the only hazard of the
decision lies in the mullifarious agen-
cies that have the power 10 Iamper with
the rates And the decision puts the
burden Of proof upon the railroads to
show that their rates are not excessive
or unreasonable.
The decision may be regarded as IA
vorable to the people as against the cor
porate interests, at the same time there
IS danger in too radical interference
with the railroads. In Minnesota itself,
the decision favored but one road and
was a curtailment to the others.

iner Sherman Goodpaster, who recently
investigated the affairs and conditions of
that magnificent and worthy institution.
The Board answers to the satisfaction
Of the fair and unbiased every charge
made by the Inspector and shows very
clearly that it has not overstepped its
bounds nor ruthlessly spent the States
funds. Not only is good reason given
for the Board 5 every act, but the law is
pointed in each instance. The reply is
a clear and dignified one and has the
ring of right and justice. Every reader
Of the Climax should peruse it with
care. Eastern Kentucky State Normal

to know how and why your money has
