MUST PAY FINE, SUPREME COURT
 TEIIc D R0An LULU Us IlGiiU
Decision Is First to Uphold
 Penalty Assessed Against a Railroad by Corporation
 Commission of This State

Establishing. without the shadow of doubt, the power of the state corpora tion commission to if: railroad rates within the state. dt cision of far reaching importance antl one that has been anXiously awaited was handed down Saturday by the Arizona supreme court in the appealed case of the South ern Pacific and Arizona Eastern rail- roads against the state Of. Arizona. The decision also is noteworthy as it is the first time a fine or penalty assessed by the corporation commission has been collected in the courts.
 Following closely, as it does, the de- cision of the United State supreme court in the Van Dyke case. the victory Saturday gives added emph; isis to the now firmly established rule that state corp oration commissions hay absolute autho rity in ate-adjusting within their jurisdl 7tion.
 The case originated in 1914 when the SoutheIn Pacific and Arizona. Eastern railroads refused to transport Campbell Brothers circus to Phoenix q a rate similar to that they had cha~ the Sells Floto circus for d like service some time previously.
 The railroads interested hetl hauled
Arizona republican., 1917-05-21

the Sells-F'loto circus Go Phoenix on special contract at sa rate of about $3 per mile, which haulI mo lnted to about SlS5. Later the roasiS demanded 1,400 for transporting thei Campbell Brothers show practically tble same distance The roads claimed that their refusal to haul the Campbell tshow at the former rate was because I1f the interference Il would entail with contract which the railroads had eftere1 into with an other circus.
 The Campbell Brothers filed a com plaint with the corporation commits sion on March -, isi4 After a hear ins, ,he commission ordered the roads to haul the show on that particular trip at price the commission set and which was almost the same as that charged the Sells Floto shows.
 The railroads refused to transport the Campbell Brothers show at the deslg- mated price and were fined S1,500 by the corporation commission. They ap- pealed the case to the superior court where the order and fine were upheld The case then went to the supreme court which also upheld the fine and order, thus establishing the corporation commission as supSeme in rate adjust ing within their state. The decision of the supreme court was joiRed in by
  Chief Justice Franklin and Justice Ross. There is a dissenting opinion by Justice Cunningham.
 The main contention of the railroads throughout the entire proceedings was that the corporation commission was without Jurisdiction to regulate rates charged by carriers and that the haul of the circus from Tucson to Phoenix was such an integral part of an interstat e shipment as O render if immune fro,,, state regulation or control.
 The Southern Pacific was repre- scented by c. w. Durbrow and F. B.. Austin of San Francisco and by J. c. Forest of Phoenix. The states case was handled by R. William Kramer. assis- tant attorney general, to whom much credit Is due for the noteworthy vic tory.

lures on Scottish literature by the Rev.

regret was expressed that these most

mainder of the season.
The subject last evening was the
"Kale-yard School," the cabbage-patch
sprang all the best of Scottish writer's,
all the really big men who have ever
achieved great things in her history.
DIR. MCGOWAN spoke of $. r. Crockett
and quoted from the works of Ian

wonderful power of drawing character
studies and the keen. sparkling humor
