Solicitor General' a Argument
Washinglon, May 5v Authority "of
the director general of railroad aad
th Dostmaite. general to' increase
intra-state railroad, telegraph and tele
phone rates throughout the country was
argued today la the Supreme Court ia
connection with appeals from proceed-
lags originating in a aumber of atatea.
Hearing oa the railroad ease was
finished but arguments ia the wire rate
eases will not be concluded until to
morrow.
- The appeal ia the railroad ease came
from North Dakota while the telegraph
aad - telephone rate eases arose from
proceedings ht South Dakota, Kansas,
Massachusetts aad Illinois. Briefs as
amici curiae were filed ia the two cases
on behalf of the National Assoclatloa
of Bailroad and Public Utility Com
mlssioners representing about 35 states
aad separately by the states of Penn
sylvaaia, Ohio and Wisconsin, the city
IJIVBUW, vrmu nun ikvhiu, iuv cikj
phono Association of Baltimore,
The proceedings attracted wide at
tention and attorney generals from
many atates were in the couit room.
The Contention Argaed.
Arguments in both eases today cen
tered principally upon the contention
of the states that the government's ac
tion in fixing intra-state rates was aa
interference with the state police
powers. Solicitor General King and Mr.
Payne denied this contention but as
serted that section ten of the railroad
control act aa well as the joint re sola
tion by which the government took
over supervision of th wires clearly
gave the Preaideat thie authority.

that in
rate th postmaster general waa act-
lag ea beha f of th publi as th cor
poration which owa the wire through
government control bad reaaed to
operate them aad acted eolely aa th
government' agents. He accused the
state bringing the proceedings with
attempting to interfere with govern
ment operation of theae facilities, aad
asked for the dismissal of the wire ranee
oa the ground that they were suits
brought against the goverameat with
out ita eohseat.
He Iafermed the J net ice.
"If the government did not fix these
rates, who would I" asked Jurtien Me. 1
Beynolds during the coarse of solicitor
general's argument. i
I suppose the states would," the
solicitor general replied.
'Well, if the states fix the rates so
that there should be a loss, who would
pay it," the justice ashed.
'The government would," Mr, King
renlied.
"That's what I have been trying toj
find out, Justice Mc Beynolds said.
Mr. Hitchcock argued that th police
power provided for ia th wire resolu
tion applied to the states ia a broad
sense as Congress Intended to include
the right of the states to regulate intra
state rates. He accused the postmaster
general of exceeding hi power ia in
terfering with telephone rate aad with
unlawfully Invading state powers.
