rates fixed by the Texas Railroad
Commission. The apparent conflict
between the two decisions Is due to
the fact that the Minnesota case was
appealed direct to the courts. The
Shreveport case was appealed first to
,ine interstate Commerce Commission
whleh ruled in effect that the Texas
rates were discriminatory against in
terstate commerce.
In explanation it may be said that
Hhreveport lies in Louisiana near the
boundary line between that state and
Texas. The Louisiana Railroad Com
mission complained to the Interstate
Commerce Commission that the class
rates charged by the railroads from
Shreveport westerly into Texas were
unjustly discriminatory, in that' they
were much greater contemporaneous
ly than the rates charged for trans
portation of like traffic from Dallas
ind Houston, Tex., to the same points.
The effect was to build a trade wall
around Texas against Louisiana
jobbers.
The railroads did not deny the dis
crimination, but answered that the
rates out of Shreveport were reason
able in themselves, while the Texas
rates were prescribed by the Texas
Railroad Commission.
The decision of the Interstate Com
merce Lominisaion, which is now
Upheld, left the railroads in a doubt
ful position. It required them either
to reduce the interstate rates or raise
the state rates so as to remove the
discrimination. The railroads called
attention to the fines that would, be
imposed by the Texas Commission if
Ihey violated that Commission's order
by increasing, the state rates. The
Government, on the other hand, con
tended the Texas rates had been vol
untarily accepted because the rail
"ays had not appealed to any court
or commission to have them set aside
The plain interpretation of the lat
est Supreme Court decision is that
Cdngress has power to regulate intra
state rates that may cause ducrimi-
tiation against interstate commerce.
But this authority has been lodged
by congress ?n the Interstate Com
merce commission, not the courts.
In the absence of a finding by the
Interstate Commerce Commission of
unjust discrimination the intrastate
rates are left to be fixed by the car-
rier supject the authority of the
states. The procedure, in event of
conflict between intrastate and inter
state rates, is to appeal to the Inter
state Commerce Commission, fia was
done in the Shreveport case, not di
rect to the courts, as was done in the
Minnesota rate case,
The new and salient feature of the
decision is that the Interstate Com
merce commission has already the
power to "strike down state rates that
discriminate against interstate com

One advocate of the married teach

of a wife, she should remain sinsle.
