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."

Do Farmers Want Radial Highways?
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

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|"

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?' '

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

length of the State. r "' 'J&

to have little just cause for complaining

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^$
