MARTIN HITS COURT DECREE
Attorney General of Nebraska Ar
raigns Bate Decisions.
SATS STRIKE AT TWO-CENT LAW
Addrraalaa- Lincoln Commercial Clab,
State Official Declares aaborm
, Decision la Revolat loaary in
Ite Entire Effect.
(From a. Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN. June 10-Ppecial Tflmnni.)
Recent decisions by federal courts In rail
road rate caaea and Involving what Gov
ernor Aldrlch and others of the state
administration believe la encroachment of
the federal judiciary authority upon the
powers of the states were scathingly ar
raigned by Attorney General diant G.
Martin today In a noun-day a!dress before
the Lincoln Comnie r I a 1 club.
The state official took for the theme of
his discourse the Sanborn decision In the
Minnesota rate cases wherein It waa de
cided that state authority over lntra-state
rates was limited becauae of the effect
of auch legislation upon Interstate rates.
Attorney General Martin aald tn part:
The decision In the Minnesota rate case
la revolutionary In the extreme, 1'eople
who romprenend Its far-reaching eftct
upon the rights of the state are astounded.
If congress had brought forth a measure
which struck down the right of the states
to regulate their Internal commerce, every
state In the union would have . been
This decision Is revolutionary because
It holds that the Minnesota rate reduc
tions, though applying . nly to commerce
within the state. Interfere with Interstate
commerce, and, hence, violate the federal
constitution. For over 10U vears. the su
preme court of the I'nited States has held
that the states had exclusive control over
their Internal commerce. During all that
, time, practically ail railroad regulation
emanated from the states and not from
the general government.
Judicial af. n sense
"Rate-making la a lt-glslative function,"
declares the author of the opinion. What
nonsense to say that rate-making la a
legislative function, and then proceed as a
court to declare every rate so made void
r OM or aJI the reasons in the catalogue,
what rate fixed by a state legislature has
been upheld by a federal court? What
the name of the Judge of the federal
district or circuit court who has yet found
a legislative made rate which he has seen
lit to uphold? judge McPherson held that
I the effect of the Missouri law was to con
I fUcate the property of the railroads. Judge
f Wndevanter held the same, as to the law
f Arkansas. Judge Sanborn, sitting with
others, held that the Oklahoma law was
taking railroad properties without Just
compensation, ana now reiterates the same
, thing with reference to the law of Minne
sota. The facts are. these acta by the legis
' laturea are being struck down as fast as
they reach the federal judiciary. In very
recent years rate reductions In North Da
kota. South Dakota. Arkansas, Missouri.
Oklahoma, and Minnesota have all met a
similar fate. These states constitute an
empire In extent and contain a population
cf over ten million people. Are these
people Ignorant, malicious, or anarchistic?
No; they are ltelllgent, fair-minded,
and patriotic as any people on earth. It
Is a condition and not a theory that con
fronts them. These people know and have
known for a third of a century that they
have been victimised by the public car
riers. They know that- they have been,
and now are, even with the reduced rates
In effect, the victims of still extortionate
freight rates as compared to adjoining
states. These people know, as do all the
people of the country, that the railroads
have never prospered In their history like
they have tn the last two years. Yet, In
the face of this well known fact, every
legislative- act designed to prevent extortionate-rates
has been stricken down by
the federal courts on at least one of two
grounds that It waa either non-compensatory
or confiscatory. This reaulta from
the adoption of an erroneous method of
valuing railroad property and of appor
tioning operating expenses as between
tats and Interstate business.
' Disregarded Evidence.
I am Informed that the railway commis
sion of Minnesota spent about tlOO.OuO In
si
ir
r
making a physical valuation ui tne rail
road properties; every rail and every tie
' tkn Into pnniMriitlnn Th rjtault
f this valuation was presented to the
referee In the Minnesota cases In the form
of evidence: What did he do with It?
He brushed It aside and took In Its place
the testimony of real estate men. Intro
duced by the companies, as to the value
of their terminal properties. These real
estate men from Minneapolis and Bt. Paul,
fixed the values so high that any rate
could be 'proved confiscatory because It
would not permit a return based on such
valuation. The circuit court adopted the
findings of this referee and declared him
"a master learned In the law." I don't
rail mm mat. l warn cms niasier learned
n the law to state the reason why he
Saw fit to reject the testimony offered by
the state based on a large expenditure of
state funds In obtaining a physical valua
tion of Minnesota railroads, and then aduut
the testimony of two real estate men
brought forth by the railroad companies,
Vhlch I understand to be a fact. An ex-
JuanaUon of why It waa necessary to reject
he testimony of the stale and adopt that
Vf the companies on this point would be
tnore helpful and Instructive than a repe
tition of such generalities as the one
which reads, "that which la not supreme
tnust yield to that which la supreme." Is
It any wonder that the Wall Street Jour
nal declares that this decision Is "Invalu
able." which means, of course, that It Is
exceedingly precious? , . .
There Is no doubt but that the testi
mony produced by the Minnesota Railroad
commission was the fairest and most
equitable, concerning the value of railroad
properties, which' was Introduced before
the referee who tried the case. This was
a acknowledged by the greatest authority In
r"Amerlca on the subject of railroad con
struction and maintenance. 1 refer to Mr.
Julius Kruttschnitt of fhlcagj. In testi
fying In the Chicago. Itock Island & Pa
cific Railway oomi any case on July 1-',
luia. which case Is now pending In the fed
eral court of thi state and Involves the
validity of our S-eent passenger fare law
and the freight rate reduction law, which
were passed by the legislature of 17. this
distinguished expert said:
Valuation Plan.
, ' "I have been making a study cf this
question of railroad valuation for a num
ber of years, and particularly In the last
two years, and 1 have obtained the reports
. of those state commlnaluns that have val
, wed railroad properties and have studied
them, and after looking over all of them
It seemed to me that tue plitn adopted by
' the Minnesota State commission n the
falreet or any mat lias oeen oromm in ray
attention. The plan 1s contained In a clr
sular, as I remember It. of Dwlxht Mor
gan, who was the expert (employed by
them to make the valuation, and It seemed
to me to be the most comprehensive, most
inricai and fairest to both Interests of any
that I knew of. It seemed to me to be
: particularly free from attuck If used In
i defending railroad t-ults. because Mr. M' r-
gan was an employe of a state body and
1 certainly could not be accused by the pub
lic of prejudice or partisanship, and I have

Th. fed.ral courts have. In pari.

a theorv aponored by the railroads, and
when fully applied Is so vicious In Its na

bassadors of foreign countries, whose sub
jects alleged they were damaged. They
came to the governor through the depart
ment of state st Washington. They wers
referred to Attorney General W. T. Thomp
son, who was then In office. Mr. Thomp
son WTOte an opinion holding that the
state of Nebraska was In no way respon
sible as claimed by the department of
state, but that the county and local of
ficers of Douglas county were clothed with
authority to quell riots and If they did
not do their duty the county should be
held responsible for damages.
Nothing' mohe was heard of the matter
after that decision, but now the secretary
