yesterday. The commission further held that the collection of arbitraries to be undue and unlawful, tending to create exorbitant charges and ordered the company to cease the exacton by Jan. 24.
 The opinion and order, covering A typed pages was written by Amos A. Betts and signed by the remaining members of the commission David F. Johnson chairman, and Loren Vaughn. In answer to the railroads complaint that it will be deprived of revenue, the | commission states that its doors are always open to hear just charges and claims.
 One of the chief contentious of the Southern Pacific since 1912, when the matter first came to the attention of the commission, Is that the own ership of the Arizona Eastern is not vested in it, reads the opinion, in which 1t Is stated that the reports of the company to the corporation commits | sion that year showed that the South ern Pacific owned S9,950 shares of stock of the total issue of 90,000 in the Ari- zona Eastern. Since that time the report filed each year has been identf- cal until 1914, when it reported its | ownership of S9.991, while the last re- port, December, 1919, also showed only g shares not owned by the Southern Pacific
 While the order signed yesterday
 is the result of a hearing held in Sep
 tember when the two railroads were
 ordered to appear and show cause why
 they had not complied with an order
 similar to that issued yesterday, the case dates back to 1912.
 In 1912, the corporation commission
 held an investigation as to rates, rules
 and regulations to apply to shipments
 over one line or two or more lines
 under the same management, direct
 or indirect, and providing additional J arbitraries on shipments moving over
 two or more lines not directly under
 the same management. The commis
 sion held that the Atchison, Topeka &
 Santa Fe, Arizona & Santa Fe, Grand Canyon Railroad company, Western Arizona Railway company, and the Verde Valley railroad were deemed un- ] der the same management. The Atch-
 ison, Topeka & Santa Fe, the South
 ern Pacific, Southern Pacific Railroad
 company, Tucson 6, Nogales Railroad
 company, New Mexico & Arizona Rail- road company and the Arizona East
 ern were held as under the manage ment of the Southern Pacific, and the El Paso & Southwestern and the Mo-
 renci Southern railroad were deemed
 under the management of the Fl Pasc , and Southwestern.
 The Southern Pacific and the Ari- zona Eastern based the motion for z
 rehear1ng on the ground shat the com.
 mission had erred in finding the two , companies under the same manage ! ment and control. It is a matter O f record that all the railroad compa 7 nies observed the commissions rulings r with the exception of the two roads. l Later, the Southern Pacific filed [, petition that the order of the com I mission be vacated, based on the sam r plea, which was later heard, and prac 2 tically the same order as issued yes @ terday was made by the commission e In June, 1918, the Southern Pacifi S and Arizona Eastern were ordered t @ cease and desist collecting arbitrar y freight rates on points between tn
 lines and the companies filed an an
