High Court UphoIds
Rate-Fixing Provision.
OF Natural Gas Act
Federal Power Unit
Left Free to Value
Public Utilities Worth
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
In an opinion holding constitu-
tional rate-making provisions Of the
1888 Federal Natural Gas Act, the
Supreme Court today left the Fed
eral Power Commission free to value
public utilities for rate making pur-
poses on the basis of the amount
"prudently invested"
Chief Justice Stone delivered the
unanimous opinion that upheld a
Power Commission order directing
the Natural Gas Pipe Line Co. Of
America and Texoma Natural Gas
Co., both of Chicago, to reduce their
rates sufficiently to lower operating
revenues by s3,750,000 annually.
The Justice Department had
asked the tribunal to give judicial
sanction to the prudent investment
theory of valuing utilities and to
overrule an 1898 decision holding
that the reproduction cost was an
essential element in arriving at a
fair valuation. The commission has
been applying the principle of which
President Roosevelt is a warm ad-
Vocate.
THE Constitution" Justice Stone
said, docs not bind rate-making
bodies to the service Of any single
formula or combination of formulas.
Agencies to whom this legislative
power has been delegated are free,
I,fv nf OF frrtn
authority, to make the pragmatic
adjustments which may be called
for by particular circumstances.
"Once a fair hearing has been
given, proper findings made and
other statutory requirements salts
fed, the courts cannot intervene in
the absence of a clear showing that
the limits of due process have been
overstepped.
eff the commissions order, as ap-
piled to the facts before 1t and
viewed in its entirety, produces no
arbitrary result, our inquiry is at
an end"
Explaining that the commission
had found that 61a per cent was
"a fair annual rate of return upon
the rate base allowed, Justice Stone
added:
THE courts are required to accept
the commissions findings II they are
supported by substantial evidence.
We cannot say on this record that
the commission was bound to allow
q higher rate"

The Interstate Commerce
Commission today denied the
petition of the once Of Price
administration for a post
ponement'of the effective date
of freight rate increases on
certain commodities.
BY the Associated Press.
The Nations railroads told the
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion today that q petition Of the
once Of Price Administration
for postponeemnt of the effective
date OF freight rate increases or
certain commodities had nc
merit and asked the commission
not to "abdicate" It's RESPONSE
bility.
The railroads said the o. p. A.
petition alleges that the commod-
tiles specified therein are vital to
the national defense. The same
may be said of the services which
the railroads are furnishing. This
being true, 1t Is difncult to see why
the commission could be expected
to give the concern Of the price
administrator over the adequacy of
the prices fixed by him for such
commodities precedence over its
own concern rs to the adequacy OF
the rates fixed by 1t for such
services. So
Says Commission Can't Abdicate.
After all, as previously pointed
out herein. 1t Is the commission
and not the once OF Price Admin
istration that Is charged with the
duty Of maintaining q national sys-
tenn Of transportation capable OF
rendering the adequate and efficient
service which is necessary to the
country In this time of war emer-
gency. IT can not lawfully abdi-
cate that duty In favor OF the price
administrator or any one else"
The railroads contended the com.
mission did not grant increases "suf-
f1cient to meet in full even the In
creased operating expenses result.
ing from the wage increases" re.
Gently granted employees. The car
riers ascribed this IN some measurs
to the fact that the commission
took into consideration the Tela-
lively favorable operating results oi
January, 1912. ia.
Compares Figures. ,,p'. (,
I'VE call attention, the railroadi
added, ITO the fact that the uen6
of traffic since the end of January
has been by no means 50 favorable
as 1t was during that month. Fo,
example, while the carloadings fol
that month five weeks showetf ar
increase of 1l.7 per cent over thu
