Below will be found a letter from a prominent Populist in South Da kota with reference to the decision, together with a full ttxt of the de cision: Chamiieulain, S. D., July 10, '98. Kditor of Caucasian, Raleigh, N. C. Dear Sm: I send you today a marked copy ofthe Sioux Falls Week ly Press, containing the fall text of the decision handed down by Fed eral Judge Carland in the Mil waukee tot maximam rate case, a case which has been bitterly con tested in the courts in this State for more than a year. It is certainly a groat victory for the people. One of the attorneys for the rail road Commission, Hon. W. O. Tem ple, is a native of your Stgte, was born and raised there, and comes from a splendid family. He is a young man, and left North Carolina complainant of the equal protection but eight years ago and has since I of the law. In other words, the com been climbing rapidly to the top. He plainant must show to the court that was chairman of the Democratic the acts of the defendant commis convention which was held at Ab- sioners are unconstitutional as being erdeen, June 23, in which a complete in conflict with the Constitution of co-operation betweenthe Democrats,! the United States. x upunoLB ituu wuvti iiopuuiiciius I the Lw Bucontltullonal imp n u f Yt - si Ilia o tAAArt Kaf Ava V a I convention, which i enclose you, While tre that the legislature ui a Miaw uiaji iiuuct no uuwci iu of this case guided by the above principles of law. the court fully ap preciates the difficulty and embar rHimf nt which surrounds the de cision of a question where it is sought to have the court declare the legislative action of the State un constitutional, and where the de cision ofthe facts involved requires the rifrreietfl of knowledge with which courts of justice are presumed to have but little acquaintance. ( ii)i)iiiii May KLalUh Uatro. It is now settled law that a State by a legislative enact ment may directly itself, or through a board of commis sioners, establish rates and fares for the carriage of freight and passen gers between points within its limits. This being an exercise of lawful legislative authority on the part of the State, all acts in pursuance thereof, either by the State directly, or by its commissioners, must be presumed, until the contrary clearly appears, to be within the legislative authority- and valid. It necessarily follows, also, that when a Board of Railroad Commis sionejs, authorized by a law of the State to fix rates and fares for the carriage of freight and passengers within its limits, fixes those rates, thai those rates and fares are prima facie reasonable and just. And it is also provided by the act of the legis lature, under which the defendants are claiming to act, that the rates and fares established by them, or any schedule of such rates and fares, shall be prima facie evidence that the rates are reasonable and just in any controversy where they shall come in question. It thus appears that the burden of proof is upon the complainant to es tablish beyond a reasonable doubt that the rates and fares which the defendants are seeking to put in force will, if lawfully made and pro mulgated, result in the taking of complainant's property without due process of law, and will deprive the k FIZZLE 111 ROBESON COUNTY ithin its limits. It did say that just bow such compensation may be ascertained and what the necessary elements are in such an icquirv. would always be an embarrrMing question. And in the case o: Coviag- ton and Lexington Tnrnpik Road Co. V3. Snford, 1C4. U. S., ."7S, the supreme court said: "Lch case mast depend upon its special facts; and when a court, without assuming tself to prescribe rates, is raiired to determine whether the rates pre scribed by the legislature for a cor poration controlling a ublio high way are, as an entirety, so unjust as to destory the value of its pro perty lor all the purposes for l. : -u : : v "Ult" "o OlijuiiW, IMUUiTMW nm, a irron.l roM.. .. .
