OF BHSlL NJ MHNEI
Charles E. Hughes decisions as
supreme court justice and acts as
New York governor entitle him to the
railroads support for president.
As governor he vetoed the 2-cent
fare and fUIl-crew bills.
AS justice he has concuTTed in de-
CisiOns that:
State and nation can exercise
no control over railroads except in
the narrow field of transportation.
2-Private shippers cannot recover
damages when their businesses are
ruined by illegal rebates.
3-Congress and the federal courts
can wipe out state railway laws and
commissions that compel rate re-
auctions.
4-RaiIroads in determining rea-
sonabIe rates" can include in their
valuation land given by the people
to them.
The first decision referred to was
in the case of the Great Northern
railroad VS.. Minnesota; the second,
that Of the Pennsylvania railroad VS..
the International Coal Co.
Hughes greatest service to the
railroads was performed, however,
when he wrote the decision in the
Minnesota rate case. The people
apparently got the DECISION, but
the corporation got the LAW.
This case came from the lower
federal courts, when Judge San
born handed down a decision that
was denounced by resolution in
the governors conference at Lake
MohOnk, where a special committee
of governors was created to notify
the supreme court that if the San
born decision was sustained it would
be resisted by the states.
With this OminOus threat of organ
lied resistance, the case came to
Hughes, who had been selected to
write the decision.

+ YOND THE POWER Or
HE'S DECISIONS
Judge SanbOrn on every point Of
law for which the railroads were Sc
TiOusly cOntending. He ruled that
the main principles upon which the
SanbOrn decision was based were
right, but that in the Minnesota
cases the principle had been too mar
Towly applied.
This it was ruled that the Sanborn
decision was right in holding THE
COURTS COULD ANNUL RATES
FIXED BY THE STATE, if they were
Unreasonably low, but that in the
particular cases before the court the
rates were Confiscatory in only one
out of the three roads affected.
Even in the case of the road for
which the rates were held cOnfisca-
tory, the net earnings were $742, 900,
yielding 3.5 per cent on the enOr-
mously inflated valuation allowed by
Judge SanbOTn.
In fixing the basis Of valuation used
in determining whether or not the
rates were reasonable, Judge SAN
born had held that in valuing the
railroads real estate, a large part Of
which had been given to the road by
the federal government or bought for
a song 40 years ago, the road was
entitled not only to put it in for what
it would cost to acquire the land to-
day in the heart of cities and thiCkly
populated districts, but also to null
tipIy that value by two on account
of the special purpose for which it
was to be used.
AS a result, the total valuation Of
the roads allowed by Judge Sanborn
was Sc per cent greater than their
total capitalization, which included
millions of dollars of watered stock!
This was too raw for Hughes, so
he held that while the railroad was
entitled tn charpn I'm tbp Theoretical

Like injunction proceedings filed by
many railroads, the Missouri, Okla
bona G. Cuffs action against the ad-
amson law contended that it was un-
constitutional because it deprived the
railroads of their property without due
process of law and compelled them 20

without receiving anything in return.

bic. Am drifting before the wind, with
no boats The Ryndam sent wire

"The Rockingham steamed directly
toward the spot, and should have been
near the Manga Reva at o'clock Mon
day afternoon. The Ryndam later re-
ceived a message from the Rockingham
saying she could not find anything Of
the Manga Reva, and both the Ryndam
and the Rockingham proceeded on their
voyages. The Rockingham, before de-
parting, sent wireless saying French
