Excerpt from The Railway Library, 1912: A Collection of Noteworthy Addresses and Papers, Mostly Delivered or Published During the Year Named Railway rates and railway valuation naturally occupy a prominent and Significant place in this issue of the Library; and so the opinion of Justice Hughes in the Minnesota rate case, although not delivered until June, 1913, finds it appropriate setting amid the railway litera ture of the preceding year. It is given in extenso, the only-omission being the legal citations, which are generally more' distracting than illuminating to the lay mind. This opinion Should be studied in connection with the findings of fact by Judge Otis and the decision of Judge Sanborn in the case under review, given in the Railway Library for 1910. Although no new legal principle is enunciated, delimitation of state and national authority is set forth afresh with exhaustive perspicacity. The decision of the lower court and the finding of the Master are overruled on the question of valuation.
