THE HERALD-REVIEW ISTHE oe Nasewave, Hi lOLMAB, j. 8. Count in Oficial Paper of U. 8. DistRicr AN IMPORTANT DECISION. A recent decision of the federal supremé, court is hailed as greatly extending the efficiency of the inter- state commerce commission’s author- ity. The lower courts have been in the habit of reviewing the orders the commission as to their propriety and advisability. They have taken imto consideration the wisdom of its decisions, their feet traffie and established rommercial custom and routine. They have, in fact, substituted their judgment for that of the commis- sion, and assumed the power of acting as if the question at issue had beén originally submitted to them, and so virtually have wiped the commission off the map. Stripped of legal verbiage, the de- cision means that the courts have no concern with the question of the ex- pediency of acts and orders by the but that im reviewing the orders by the commission, the courts can concern themselves only with the question of whether or not the power exercised by the commis- sion in making the order in question was a power granted to the com- mission by the act of congress. It is no business of the courts whether or not tthe power given by the act to regulate commerce was wisely executed by the commission. The commission fis the sole judge of fac expediency, and the courts may not set aside, an order of the commission because it is judged upon commission, and of that) such order is unwisely” exe- cutefl. The decision says: “Plain as it is that the powers just stated are of the} authority, and not be discharge of judicial therefore, essence which, may whose us ina curtailed, and not be by proper avoided, it is equally such perennial powers the that we may, under the judicial power, administrative func- ad- that no support whatever to plain lend proposition guise of exerting merely setting aside a lawful usurp {tions by order tion as to whether the administrative ministrative power has been wisely exercised.” “Tt appears that the court below but substituted a regulation which it deemed wise for one which it con- sidered the commission had inexp: iently adopted,” and this upon the as- sumption by the court that its author- ity was not limited to determining power.”* Clearly this places the regulation and control of railroads fully within the powers of the commission, leav- ing to the courts only the right to say if it has acted within the law. the legal aspect of each case; may say if the law has been rightly interpreted and not exceeded, but may not mneview the line of argument which led up to the order, its effect nor its expediency. —————E THE NASHWAUK HERALD.

WILL SOON HAVE _ MONEY ENOUGH State Will Receive a Large Income From Royalties on Mines and Sale of Lands. “In three years, and possibly in two,” says State Drainage Engineer Ralph, “the state of Minnesota will have enough money in plenty to loan. Today, the state has not enough to accomodate the various counties in the state that are desirous of borrow- ing in order that they may carry on their ditch work and other im- provements. Under the state law, if the counties borrow from the state, the interest charged is only 4 per cent. Under the present conditions the counties have to go to loan com- panies, get their money and pay 6 pen cent. “And this money, that is going to fill the coffers of the state, will come from royalties on mines, from the sale off state timber and other lands. Alredy from those three sources the state ‘s deriving an annual revenue of almost $300,000, but this is going to be more than doubled. The school fund will be increased so that the state can fill every order from every county for loans and improvements.” Millinery at Cohasset. Mrs. W. W. Fletcher wishes to an- nounce that she will open a complete miflionery parlor at her home in Cohasset this spring and will have on hand a full line of fashionable mil- inery. Mrs. Fletcher is an expert trimmer formerly of New York and wishes to assure the people of Cohas- set and the surrounding country that she can please the most fastidious.

LOCATING © HERE Means That About 30 or 40 Families, Now Living in Washington, Would Settle Here. THINK OF Four Hollanders, by name, John Postma, John Stigsla, Peter Wend jand Henry Post, who stopped off at Feeley, while on their way to Wash- ington from a visit im Old Country, came to Grand Rapids Tuesday in company with J. F. Foley to look over farming conditions in this vicin- ity As is well known the Hollanders jare noted as matural dairy men and lare looking for a new location suit- |able for dairy purposes. After look- ing over the situation, the gentlemen | expressed themselves as pleased with | both the soil and climate and state |that no better dairy country could be asked gor. The gentlemen state that there are about 40 families now living in the state of Washington, who are not satisfied with conditions there and would settle in some practically new dairy country, and that they had been requested to report to their friends upon ‘their return their views concerning this section. They think very favorably of locat- ing here and wish to secure land in territory adjacent and tributary to Grand Rapids, where they wish to market the produce of their dairy. The Hollanders are ideal and thrifty farmers and the citizens of Grand Rapids should do all in their power |to get them to locate here as no better class of citizens or settlers could be desired. | G.

WOULD WHITTLE OFF HIS FINGER Crazy Finlander Imbued With Idea His Finger Is Inhabited By Devil. Victor Lerch, a Fimlander, who was employed, by the Itasca Logging com- pany, at camp No. 7, became violent- ly insane Tuesday of last week and becamd possessed of an idea ithat the middle finger of his right hand was imjhabited) by the devil. Lerch was also possessed of the hallucination that his mother, in the old country, was also inhabited by a devel, and if he couki rid himself of the one which had taken up its abode with him, his mother would also be freed at the same time. Accordingly he secured a razor, got out of sight of the other men and proceeded %& whittle off his finger. He pared down the meat and removed the fing- er at the middle joint.
