f , VICTORY FOR PUBLIC: J I I State is Given Power Over | Schedules of Railroads. DECISION OF HIGH COURT j 'i s r * Atlantic Coast Line Appealed Against North Carolina Railroad Commission But Lost " Contention i \ The supreme court of the United States Monday decided, in effect, that ' .the railroad commissioners of Xorth Carolina can compel a railroad com % pany operating in that state to so adjust its schedules as to accommodate _ passengers on other lines from any ^ particular part of 'the state. The opinion was delivered by Justice White, in the case of the Atlantic ^Coast Line Railroad Company vs. the Corporation Commission of ' North Carolina. The case arose cut -i of an "order issued by the commissioners, directing the railroad company to make connection at Seima, N. C., at 2:50 m., with a train on another line running from the eastern part of the state, with the object of v accommodating passengers whose destination was Raleigh. .The railroad company resisted the order on the grounds that it could not be complied with without put:ing on a special train, which would involve extra expense. This, it was contended, amounted to taking property without due process of law. The commission justified its course on the ground that compliance with the order was necessary to- accommodate a large v part of the public. The supreme court of North Carolina held against the railroad company, and its decision was affirmed bv Monday s action of the su. preme court of the United Siates on the ground, that the order of the com-1 mission does not atfect the rates, but - is a proper act of state regulation. - Justice White discussed at leng;h v.the contention of the railroad company that, the case involved rates in any way, and said, in part: "This case does not involve enforcement by a state of a general ?scheme of maximum rates* but only whether an exercise of state authority to compel a carrier to perform a particular and specified duty as so inherently unjust and unreasonable as : > to amount to the deprivation of prop . erty, without due process of law*, cr a denial of the equal protection of the lawsL In a case involving the validity - 'of an order enforcing a scheme of maximum rates, of course, the find. ings that the enforcement of such scheme will not produce an adequate return for the operation of the railroad, in and of itself, demonstrates the unreasonableness of the order. Such, however, is not the case when the question is as to the validity of "an order to do a particular act the doing of which does not involve the 'question of the profitableness of the i operation of the railroad as an entirety. ' "This is so because as the primal duty of a carrier is to furnish adequate facilities to the public, that may Well be compelled, although by doing .so as an incident, some pecuniary loss from rendering such service may reeuit. It follows, therefore, that the mere incurring of a loss frcm the performance of such a duty dees not, In itself, necessarily give rise to the conclusion of the unreasonableness, as would be the case where the whole scheme of rates was unreasonable under the doctrine of Smyth vs. Ames, or under the concessions made in the two propositions we have staced. Of course, the fact that the furnishing of a necessary facility ordered may occasion an incidental pecuniary loss is an important criterion to be taken into view in determining the reasonableness of the order, but it is not the only one. As the duty to furnish necessary facilities is codeterminous with the powers of the corporation, the obligation to discharge that duty must be considered in connection wi;h the nature end productiveness of the corporate business as a whole," the character of services required, and the public need for its performformance." _ NEW SECURITIES AUTHORIZED.

Foreseeing objections to the "through" roads proposed in some States, this magazine presented in its February issue some ^of the arguments for and against making highways to extend in direct line, otbt long distances. That article covered \ a comparatively small part of the question, which seems to have come -''Ji up for consideration by the lawmakers of New York State. Report says that a pumber of (J| members of the New York Assembly* now in session, are much concernied lest legislation proposed should give ' g to automobilists great through high-, ways, which it is asserted would be ^ little more than speedways, and; j would not give good roads to the v [ farmers and small towns. i Reasons offered for these fears ares I that such through roads would ben-' . J efit the agricultural interests of the- || State but little, and their local mar-, ..J? kets scarcely any; that these inter-' ^ ests pay half the cost of road im- t M provement, by direct taxation, and, pay another part of that cost by con- 4*3 tributions to- the State revenues, ahdf that because of this whatever State ' :1y money does go to make good roade should be spent for improving the ^1| highways the farmer must use before any of jt should .go to make long and Jg costly through roads. . zm It may be admitted frankly that vJS any proposal to construct such im- ~1a| proved through road, say from AI-. bany to Buffalo, would afford to the vf/J farmer and other opponents oJ?such' plan arguments which in few otter places in this country would have mm much of force as they would have .in . A New York, because such through' . road in this State would doubtleas he\f^ nearly parallel to and nowhere fat J| from the Erie Canal, to the Ne*e,"_ York Central and to the West Sb?ca? railroads. f';f|C ' Along each of these three lines off^^8 transportation local markets * are) -Jg strung closely, therefore products oC -:?JS farms near them need be moved onl^ |h a short distance eastward or we'SW '^ ward. Because they ,are used many people, the public rdads ,con? i necting these local markets, are,. rule, ii^ a condition better than t&ijfcfc/? of roads leading northward or soutifc^^i ward from them. ^ For these reasons some may^conp-J|R tend that State money for road provement should first go to mako'- v^ better all roads having for their isaiahr Jjp purpose saving in the cost of mevibji?^S= products from farm to local markets^. *-'-M and that the making of long throngl^'Mji roads should wait until such shortwrf'-v&M roads, radiating from many points, would run together or and so make through lines of But these views meet only a fewo^ftl the conditions of this question. 1Mb* asserted that the cities, of Buffalo asA*^? New York together will pay .eight^f^? five per cent., or $42,500,000 of $50,000,000 which New York State . to use for improving its public roadlU; If it be supposed that two throo^f-|S| highways were made from the eaat-' . I em to the western limits' of this.' ,t? State, they would be about 400 > in length, or together a small fractioatv^llfl more than one per cent, of the mileage of public roads in the State.; At $8000 per mile they would cost$3,200,000, which, would equal 41.4[ 3M per cent, of the $50,000,000 tfie* State Jias^appropriated for road im-; -|j|" WereTlIuffalo and New York City^ ' ' oH to pay 42.5 per cent, of that sum,. they would leave only $1,840J)0O tq>' "im be paid by all the other cities and by; the country districts, toward cori-^ structing improved highways,..whichy would be open for free use by all or-ij i jl dinary vehicles, including autozno-j T|g biles of various classes. . If two such through thoroughfares:! were so made and turned over for! use by automobiles.and other motor! '^8 vehicles, to the exclusion of all oth?' ' ers, and if the two roads would cost' 4^| $3,200,000, to be paid wholly the $50,000,000 appropriated, $4.6,-; NsJ 800,000 of that appropriation would; r&J remain, and of this sum the two cities^ ^1fg| named would contribute $19,890,000* or enough to pay for more than sir' - H through roads across the whole ,.'j length of the State. r "' 'J& So far the country districts seem; to have little just cause for complaining of their part of the bargaie iM for road improvement.?Good Roads 4M Magazine. * l\ . A Good Suggestion. The suggestion of State Highway Commissioner Hunter, of Pennsylvai nia, that the road supervisors of the -t<J| various counties of the State form associations to enable them to work to- '^jl gether to better advantage has been heeded by the county officials in the t State. Commissioner Hunter or some ? j of his assistants have address'ed the J organization meetings to. excellent vy-3| purpose, and at the present rate the. entire State will have been so organ- \"'M ized within the next ajx months. The :3!eJ benefits of these county organiza- v> tions have already become apparent* .g for the bulk of the applications for* yj State aid are now made with a vtetpfc % of doing the greatest good for' the 7^$ greatest number of residents, and there is a notable decrease of the here and there improvements which 't% benefited a single locality to a limited 1 extent.?New Yofk Sun.
