Excess of 6 Per Cent.

The Dayton Goose Creek Railway
Company of Texas yesterday attacked
in the Supreme Court the right of
the government, under the transpor-
tation act of 1920, to exact half Of
all railroad earnings in excess of &
per cent
Solicitor General Beck told the
court the case presented the NEST
important question it probably woVlI
consider at the present teruk
In presenting the case for the ray
road company today Frank Andrew9
contended that while Congress haA
the unquestioned authority to provide
that the Interstate Commerce Com
mission should fix reasonable rates,
1t did not have the authority to as
sert that per cent was at all times
a reasonable return upon the capital
invested, and that it did not have the
right to require railroads to divide
with the. government equally al
earnings in excess of that amount.
In arguing for the Interstate Com
merce Commission. P. j. Farrell as
serted that, had not the recaptur"
clause been enacted in the transpor-
tation act, there would have been no
guaranteed by the government of the
