Opinion of the Court.

Chief Justice White delivered the opin-
ion of the court.
The Chief Justice upheld the making or
rates by the interstate commerce COM
IN ssiou by zones.
The zones selected by the commission
were in substance the Same as those pre-
liouslv fixed by the carriers as the basis
OF the rate-making. which was included
in the tariffs which We're under inVesuSa-
ton, and therefore. we may put that sub
ject out of view" he said.
Indeed, except as to questions OF pow
er. there is no contention in the argument
as to the inequality of the zones or per-
Centages or as to any undue preference
or discrimination resulting from the ac-
ton taken. But be this II may, in view
of the findings of the commission as to
the system of rates prevailing in the
tariffs which were before it, of the in
equalitieS and burdens engendered by
such system, of the possible asgrandiZe-
ment unnaturally beyond The limits pro
duced by competition in favor Of the COM
petitive points and against other points
hv the tariff in guestion-facts which we
accept and which indeed are unchal-
lenged-we see no ground for saving that
the order was not sustained by the facts
upon which il was based or that it ex-
ceeded the powers which the statute con-
f@rred or transcribed the limits of the
sound legal discretion which it lodged in
the commission when acting upon the
subject before it ~

Fight Made by Railroads.

The railroads fought relentlessly for
the right to adjust the trade balances
among various sections of the country.
The court found an answer to the whole
controversy in the holding that Congress
had conferred on the railroads themselves
the right to make Determinations in favor
of a long haul, and hence had the right
and did, in 1910, take this right from the
railroads and give it to the commission.
Had the decision been to the contrary,
i, would have rested in the judgment of
the railroads as to how far interior cities
should share with seaboard cities in the
benefits of water competition
Applications from railroads to put into
effect long and short haul rates through
out various sections of the country have
been held up pending the courts decision;
Ii is expected that the commission Will
al once take up those applications. pass
u,.on them. and if they are found reason
able determine by how much II is rleht
fer the railroads to allow certain long
hau,s 10 exceed short haulS.

Decision to Guide Commission.

Opposition to the per cent increase
in freight rates being asked by the
eastern railroads-and upon which the
Interstate commerce commission is ex-
pected to announce its decision any day
had been based principally upon the
contention that the commission did not
have authority under the law to grant
such a blanket" increase as involved
In the "intermountain rate" cases
Copies of the courts decision were sent
Immediately to the commission for its
guidance.
That the distribution throughout the
country of the benefits of the Panama
canal will rest with the interstate
commerce commission and not with the
transcontinental railroads is one of the
conclusions being drawn today from
the Supreme Courts decision.
1t has been generally claimed that
the Panama canal would reduce freight
rates from Atlantic seaboard points to
Pacific coast cities and vice versa, but
the questions of to what extent the
railroads might allow interior points
to share in the benefits of water COM
petition enjoyed by the seaboard cities
were in dispute. The decision of the
court is that the commission will
answer those problems and that the
railroads may simply proceed to haul
the freight.

So-CaIIed 'Intermountain Rate

FOR CITIES OF THE WEST
Opinion Also Expected to Act as
Guide in 5 Per Cent Increase
Sought by Eastern Roads.

The Supreme Court of the United
States Yesterday reversed the decision of
the defunct Commerce Court in the So
called .'intermountain rate cases. The
immediate effect of the decision is that
such western cities as Reno, Spokane and
Phoenix will not be forced to pay upon
as they have previously paid and the way
Is open for shippers TO recover sums es-
timated as great as s1o,0oo,0oo from rail-
roads which have been charging the old
rates. while the case was being fought
through the courts Reparation. if any
and the amount will have to be decided by
the commission in a separate action
The Supreme Court at the same time
held that the so-called long and short
haul clause of the interstate commerce
law is constitutional. The interstate
commerce commission had issued certain
rates for the western cities, to which
the railroads objected, and the railroads
had also attacked the long and short
haul clause" of the law as unconstitu-
tional
The decision is A signal victory for
the interstate commerce commission.
AS result of the decision all ques-
ton is removed TO the right of the
commission not only to pass on the rea-
sonableneSs of a lower rate for a haul
TO a more distant city than to a nearer
one in the same direction, but to fix how
much the difference may be- 1t recog-
niZes the power of the commission to
fix such rates by zones, as distinguished
in- each point of shipment in the United
States.

more mystiiied when he was inform

enough swimming pools in the city

swimming teachers. The matter
was cleared up when it was explain
