The court's statement said: "Insofar as the Interstate commerce commission attempts to determine the relation of long and short haul rates, irrespective of absolute rates, it ex ceeds its authority, for It is not within the power of the commission to say that 100 per cent, 107 per cent, or any given per centage, or an un known or less than reasonable rate to the coast is necessarily a maximum reasonable and non-discriminatory rate, from the same point of origin to an interior point. "Though this decision enjoins the reducing of rates. In lnter-mountain cities, as the interstate commerce eonmlssion ordered, the commission tound satisfaction in upholding the long and short haul clause of the law." ' The commerce court emphasized Its authority, under the law, to grant ex ceptions to the application of the long and short haul clause, declaring its belief that cities having water traffic are entitled to lower rates than cities where there is no water com petition. -, This lg a serious blow to Spokane.
