COURT UPHOLDS!
FREIGHT R t
INCREASES
—•—■ i
WASHINGTON, June 3 (by A*so
ciated Press).—Upon the decisloi^ of
the supreme court yesterday depen ied
the authority of the federal rallied
administration to continue the collec
tion of increased freight and pas len
ger intrastate rates as provided in
orders issued by William G. McA loo,
when director general and place) in
effect in June, 1918. Under these jrd
ers, a preciptate Increase of tw< nty
flve per cent was made in freight r ites
while a general increase in passe ijer
fares to a three cents a mile basis tas
authorized. Receipts from intraf tite
business of the carriers, railroad »d
| ministration officials said, repre lent
between 35 and 40 per cent of the
total operating income of the 1 ises
under government control or a »ut
12,000,000,000. *
The decision resulted from ap] eals
brought by the government rom ^
North Dakota supreme court de< rees
enjoining the Northern Pacific rail
road in that state as well as Dir (tor ,
General Hines from collecting th i in
creased rates. The proceedings rere
originally instituted by North Di iota
authorities, who contended the ites
were illegal and made without ap- .
proval of the state board of ra way
commissioners as required by the liws
of that state and for that reaso the
federal government’s action wa i an
interference with state police pc ters.
State officials further cont< ided
that neither the joint resolutio: nor
the railroad control act under hich
the government took over contrc and
operated the rail systems of the ;oun
try authorized the president to init
iate Intrastate rates; that the rates
were established upon a miscon itruc
tion of the powers delegated t i the
chief executive and that they were
unreasonable.
A general denial of these c< nten
tions was made by the goveri ment
which insisted that the acts inder
which the government took ove; the
operation of the roads were war ueas
ures and that section ten of tin rail
road act clearly gave the pre ident
power to initiate all rates.
By a three to two decision, t^e^ate
supreme court held that authority was
not conferred upon the President to
initiate intrastate rates superseding
pre-existing rates prescribed by the
state’s authority. The court also held
that by exempting from control of the
President the state “police regula
tions” congress intended for the states
to retain power to make rates. An
order was entered by the court
order calling upon the Northern Pa
cific to stop charging rates provided
in the federal order was entered by <
the court.
While this case affected directly
only North Dakota, similar proceed
ings have been instituted in South
Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota
and Washington and upon this court’s ,
decision depends the outcome of these
cases. Other suits of a like nature
have been threatened in a number of
other states according to government
officials but pending final determina
tion of these proceedings which were
designed by the government to be a
tst case, state officials decided to ^
withhold prosecution of those cases
temporarily.
Arguments in this case were heard
on May 5 in the supreme court the
court having previously agreed to ex- *
pedite consideration owing to the im
portance of the questions involved and
the serious effect such litigation might
have upon the revenues derived by the
government from the operation of the
railroads. <

L08E8 VOICE ON BEAR HUNT
Lost—One full, semi-tenor voice,
finder please return to Jake Hepfln
;er, Cordova, Alaska.
Jake Hepfinger, the former Valdez
larber, who Is at present located at
lordova went bear hunitng last
reek, and after an eight mile mush
mt the railway track ran slap Into
i big brown fellow, with eyes like
aucers and foam at his mouth. Jake
lastily raised his rusty rifle and tak
ng aim at the southwestern extrem
ty of section one pulled the trigger,
'he bear did not drop as Jake had no
sad in his gun, and a hasty search
•f his pockets revealed that his am
lunition had been left in town. Here
9 where Jake lost his voice attempt
ng to explain to Mr. Bear that he
iras out after whistles, and meant
10 harm to the bear family a-tall. The
lear had the best of the argument,
nd Jake, who holds the long distance
ecord from Fairbanks to Valdez
hoved the record up from one jump
o infinity. He traveled so fast he
ost his voice, and Valdezans who
rere recently in Cordova say that
ake wears a sign on his breast, with
Next” on it.
When Jake gets able to talk again
he story he will relate will beat the
ne about the lions in Daniels’ den.—
