WINS
Estate Rate" Case Is Lost BY
The Railroads.
A POINT WON BY ONE LINE

Minnesota Wins In United States SUI
preme Court in One OF the Great
est Of Modern Legal Struggles
Federal Power Comes First, but
State Can Also Regulate.
Minnesota Won substantial victory
in the supreme court when in the
Minnesota state rate case Justice
Hughes for the court held that the
rates OF the Minneapolis and St
Louis railroad were conhscatory and
unconstitutional, but that the rates OF
the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern were valid.
The decision was a victory for the
state on the interstate commerce
phases OF the controversy and upon
the Dnhscatory features. with the
excer ion OF the portion Affecting the
Minneapolis and st. Louis.
What the Cases Are.
The so-called state rate cases
have presented 10 the supreme court
one OF the momentous problems OF
the decade
In general terms. this group OF
cases called upon the court TO decide
two questions. One was whether the
states in passing maximum freight
and 2-cent passenger laws had unduly
interfered with interstate commerce.
The other was whether those laws
conhscated the property OF the rail
roads by requiring them 10 transact
business at loss.
The group consisted OF forty-hye
cases. All arose out of legislation
enacted by state legislatures about
1907. or Just after the federal govern
ment had passed the Hepburn rate
law. The forty.1ye cases concerned
directly the laws IN six states Mis-
souri, Minnesota. Kentucky, Oregon
Arkansas and West Virginia. Simi
lar litigation arose in Alabama, Iowa,
Kansas. Nebraska. Oklahoma and
South Dakota In all. il was said
that seventy-six suits in federal
courts depended upon the decision in
the forty-flye cases before the su
preme court.
How the Suits Started.
The Minnesota cases arose out Of
suits by stockholders Of the Northern
Pacific. the Great Northern and the
Minneapolis and ST. Louis railroads
against the companies to enjoin then
from obeying the maximum freight
and 2-cent passenger laws as nncon
stitutional and against the state OF
fcials to enjoin them from enforeinl
the laws Judge Sanborn OF the Unit
ed states circuit court for minnesota
held the laws unconstitutional. Of I
confsoatory nature, and that the,
