PACKARD HAS HIS DOUBTS

Attorney Donnelley, formerly of the
Northern Pacific's legal staff and now
representing the federal railway ad-
ministration, defended vigorously in
supreme court Tuesday afternoon the
right of this administration, under
the powers vested in it by the act of
congress of August, 1915, not only to
fix and regulate intrastate commerce
rates, but to ban or forbid or abolish
such commerce if it should seem to
the administration to be to the best
interests of the nation. .
F.. E. Packard. OF counsel for the
state, in his opening argument, con-
tended that states rights had not been
suspended by the act giving the feder-
al government control of the railways.
while we are in state Of war,
we are not in state of revolution,
said the tax commissioner. THE
president has no power, even in time
Of war, to requisition private life or
private property without such author
fty having been specifically conferred
upon him by act of congress.
"The power upon which the taking
over and operation of the railways
is based is not an executive power
but q legislative power" s .."
Packard argued that as matter of
fact the railways are not under fed
eral control, inasmuch as they are
being operated by officers and en-
ployes of the companies themselves.
Donnelley insisted that the operatives
are no longer employees or agents of
the individual railway companies, but
tha they are direct representatives of
the federal government and that the
railways are under the direct control
of the director general. He cited in
support of this statement the fact
that J. M. Hannaford was required to
resign as president of the Northern
Pacific before he could become fed
eral manager of this system by ap-
pointment from the director general.
I The hearing was on Attorney Cen
eral Langer's application for a writ
of mandamus compelling the federal
railway administration to restore to
effect in this state intrastate rates
which were operative last June when
the director placed In effect new
schedule Is per cent higher as to
freight rates and halfcent per mile
higher on passenger hauls. The court
issued IN alternative writ directed to
Walker D. Hines. director general of
railways, ,ando the Northern Pacific
Co, cammanding them to show cause
why the writ of mandamus prayed
should not issue. Arguments occu-
pied the entire afternoon. number
of attorneys appearing for individual
railway companies in addition to Mr..
Donnelley's presentation OF the case
tof the federal railway administration.
