LEMON RATES UPHELD.
Supreme Court Psrwtis Reduction 70
90 Int Effect.
Especial Corresponden

Especial COTTeSpONOcuCesJ
Washington, Nov l0.-The recent
decision Of the supreme court in what
is commonly known as the lemon rate
case 10 viewed in interstate commerce
commission circles as of the utmost
Importance.
Not only Is 1t considered important
because the effect of it Is to sustain the
commission in reducing rtaes on lem
ons from $115 to 81 per hundred, a
reduction that affects practically all
shipments from southern California to
the country east of the Rock noun
tains, but 1t is OF moment as disclosing
the attitude Of the supreme court to-
ward cases in which the railroads seek
i to prevent orders Of the interstate COM
merce commission from going into eff
feet. tA,
In this case, which involved financial
interests Of magnitude. the court heard
arguments one week and returned q
decision the next week. This IL unusual
celebrity even for an unimportant case.
Chief Justice White announced the
decision In the lemon rate case and
simply announ ced per curiam that In
four preceding cases the court had held
, tina; 1t did not have the right to re-
view the reasonableness of an order of
the Interstate commerce commission
unless 1t was shown the commission
acted without evidence or arbitrarily.
On the strength Of those decisions. the
order OF the interstate commerce COM
mission reducing lemon rates was
quickly upheld. The usual lengthy
written opinion In this case was dis
pensed with.
Attorneys for the interstate COM
merce commission and the department
CT justice look on the manner of dis
posing OF the lemon controversy, be-
tween the California lemon shippers,
and the railroads, as a way Of serving
notice to the roads that it does not de-
sire to be besought to consider appeals
from the interstate commerce commits.
sion's ruling unless 1t can be clearly
shown the commission has gone with
! out the pale OF the law and exercised
its authority in an arbitrary way.
The supreme court is more and more
/ firmly insistent that it will not ques-
ton the action Of the commission if the
commission keeps within the law and
the evidence in its rulings. The court
has shown clearly 1t is in sympathy
with the interstate commerce laws for
the government regulation Of the rail-
roads and Will not be drawn into any
decision to hamstring them. This atti-
tude is extremely gratifying to the
commission and to shippers.

Now that daughter has arrived at his

Poor old John Barney Salisbury

brief time in the senatorial contest

play the goat" for his cousin,
Willard Salisbury, and to take all
the blame for the defeat of the late
James L. Walcott, for confirmation
as United States Judge, during the
administration ofPresident Cleave-
land. The effort was so transparent
that it was ridiculous. The matter
has got beyond the depth to which
the old politician ever was able to
wade. The effort has made some
active enemies out ofthose who were
passive, and the end will not be
known until the Legislature meets
