NORTH DAKOTA PROTESTS.
Thinks Federal Authorities Should Not
Raise Railroad Rates.

WASHINGTON, May 3.-Counsel for
North Dakota yesterday filed their
brief contcsting the governments au-
thority to interfere with intrastate
freight and passenger rates in the APP
peals brought in the supreme court by
the government from state supreme
court DEGREES enjoining the Northern
Pacific railroad from increasing its
rates in compliance with an order Of
the railroad administration.
The brief asserts that congress, in en-
acting the railroad control act, had no
intention OF giving federal officials such
authority and asserted that the statute
did not confer arbitrary power upon
the President
" Under the control act, il says,
the President is authorized to make
only such orders as are necessary prop
cr 10 carry out the objects Of federal
control, namely, the use Of the rail
roads for war and o:hor purposes con
nccted herewith.
CLEARLY the state laws upon these
subjects are not inconsistent with the
act of congress ard cannot be abrogatcd
or superseded by an order of the Pres
| ideut. The laws governing the carriers
| in hose matters have no relation TO tho
conduct of the war. Similarly, if tho
obligation Of the carriers to transport
property az reasonable rates established
/ by state law is not inconsistent viii
the provisions Of the acts Of congress j
/ Is not within the power Of the Presi
dent to interfere with the force and eff
/ feet Of these laws.
The brief compared the original draf
Of the railroad control act rs sent by
! The administration to congress with tn
measure as finally passed to show wha
changes had been made 90 .prcserv
state laws.
Thus, he brief continued. fror
a bill in which it was attempted {
lodge final ratemaking powers in tn
President, the bill becomes one in whic
the police regulations Of the states an
the jurisdiction of the interstate con
fmcrce commission were preserved. "
