In the so-called Oklaboma decision Hook misnsed his authority as federal judge to take a case away from the state court This was a case where the state commission had been given power to determine whether to make local state rates 2, 2% or 3 cents a mile. Hook interfered, and, taking charge of the cnse, decided {t for the raflroads, on the und that the suggested rate was confiscatory. Hook ruled that the railroads were entitled to dividends on their inflated capitalization, and took the word of the railroad officials that & Zcent or a Scent rate would not permit dividends. In the so-called Sanborn decision, Hook again éame to the rescue of the railroads--this time against efforte of the Minnesota commission to prescribe local rates. Hook decided that any local rate was really a part of the inter. state rate, therefore was under the jurisdiction of the federal court He thereupon decided the action of the state court unconst! tutional As a result of these and similar decisions, Hook is génerally and cordially indorsed to Taft by the railroads. A dozer states have protested against him. When Hook was first elevated to the bench, he acted as a pro. gressive and was regarded as a people's man. He was appointed by McKinley.
