In conclusion Mr. Thompson ssyi It U resjiectf ully submitted : P(ri,tTha1 in tlii action by the sta'.e 1o prevent ttie defendant from exacting com pensation in excess of tbe rales limited bv statute, the existence of the and the defendant s refusal to comply with iis terms make a - prima facie case tn favor f plaintiff, since the svatu-e is pre sumed to be valid. ... Second In this suit by the s.ate to pre vent defendant from charging rates in ex cess of those fixed by law. the testimony that the operating expenses nf defendant, under tbe statutory rates, would deprive it of the right to proper earnings is Insuf ficient to overturn the statute, where the nature and necessity of important items of expense are not disclosed ThirdThe statute reducing express rate cannot be set aside as confiscatory on testimony which fails to show the eHect of the reduoed rate on new business. Tbe defendant having failed 10 make such snow ing it becomes unnecesBary to examine lbs testimony offered by the state. Fourth A rate statute should never be set aside without the fullest disclosure of all material facts, and the statute reducing exprees rstes should not be set aside as confiscatory on testimony of defendant that it would be compelled to do h-S business at a loss under ttie nea rates, w here the tea timoiiv i based on operations unoer the old rate, and evidence of actual opera tions under tiie new rates show a profit. Fifth By tbe use of reasonable and Just methods for apportioning operating ex penses between state and interstate buai neaa. the rates fixed by the legislature In controversy are shown by actual trial lor a:x months to be amply remunerative. Bixth The penalities provided for In the Sibley act are not so drastic as to render the act unoonsatutional. and if the pen alties were unconstitutional they would not invalidate the remainder of the act.
