Washington, Feb. 27.-Declaring that
commerce is unit and does not regard
state lines" the supreme court today
through Chief Justice Taft and with
out dissent handed down a decision up
holding the authority of the interstate
commerce commission under the trans
portation act Of 1920 to fix state rail-
road passenger fare when necessary TO
remove undue, unreasonable and un-
Just discrimination against interstate
commerce"
Two cases were presented to the
court. One was brought by the railroad
commission of Wisconsin and others
against the Chicago, Burli-R>n and
Quincy railroad seeking an Injunction
to prevent the railroads of the state
from putting into effect on state pas
senger traffic the rate of 3.6 cents per
mile allowed by the government on in
terstate travel. The other was brought
by the state of New York against the
federal government. the interstate COM
nerce commission and certain railroads
Of that state on the ground that the 3
cent fare fixed by the New York state
public utility commission produced rea-
sonable returns to the railroads upon
their state traffic. In both states
freight rates had been advanced to the
interstate level without objection from
the states.
Congress in its control of its inter-
state commerce system is seeking in the
| transportation act to make the system
adequate TO the needs of the country by
| securing for it reasonable compensa-
| tory return for all the work it does the
| chief justice stated in the opinion. The
states are seeking to use that same sys.

interstate commerce system in doins

reasonable condition on a states use o

merce it deems necessary or desirabla
This is because Of the supremacy Of tn
national power in this field
Referring to the suggestion that tn
| conclusion of the court would give tn
interstate commerce commission uni
fed control of interstate and intrastat
commerce" the court declared that sue
control was unified only to the 7"exter
of maintaining efficient regulation of in
