OUST SALOONS FROM ALABAMA ENTIRE STATE WILL BE DRY! NEW YEAR'S DAY MISSIS SIPPI DOES SAME. COMMRSIONEBS IVE OPINION FREIGHT REBILLED WILL TAKE STATE RATE IS TEXT OF RE PLY TO COMPLAINT INEW EXPRESSION Fowler and Wilson Get Response to Letter of a Week Ago Regarding Interstate and Iowa Dis tance Traffic. An opinion sent E. D. Fowler, presi dent of Fowler-Wilson Coal company of this city, by the State Railroad com mission this morning in response to a complaint lodged by the company with the commission about a week ago, is thought to not fully cover th case in point as presented in the letter of complaint sent to the commission by the local firm. The complaint lodg ed by Fowler-Wilson company with the railroad commisison dealt with the interstate and Iowa distance freight tariffs and was against both the Rock Island and Burlington railroads. The state railroad commission yes terday recorded a formal expression of its ruling with respect to freight ship ments from without the state which are rebilled within the stale to another point in the state. Its holding is in conformity with t.h Brewer decision and interstate com merce ruling and is a reversal of the view taken by the commission for many years prior to orders entered last December. In order that the board's correspon dent might have a clear understandin, of the opinion of the board the com mission assumed the following case: 1. A car of coal originates at some point in Illinois and is originally de: tined to Keosauiiua, la. 2. The original bill of lading made out by the common carrier at the point of origination provides for the shiu meni of the car of coal from said point 3. hemselves literally liver and kidney diseases, for which 1 Keokuk, la., the shipper or his agent •was 1 Electric Bitters is the guaranteed remedy. 50c.

"t.liat in this assumption of facts it is contemplated that there should be two separate bills of lading, each a completed contract in itself, and that by the payment of freight and the re ceipt of the car at Keokuk the first contract or bill of lading is fully per formed. and you will notice further that this first contract is completed by the shipper or his agent, and not by the agent of the company. "Upon 1 he above assumption of facts it is our opinion that the Iowa distance tariff governs the shipment We are aware that this holding is not in harmony with .the early ruling. upon the subject, made by this board. The former rulings made by this board were evidently based upon the judg ment of the court in the case of Cut-. the language found in the, opinion in the very «arly case of "The Daniel Ball, 10th Wall, 557."' A number of cases are cited in this opin ion. citing and approving the Daniel Ball case, supra. It will serve no good purpose to review the Daniol Ball case or the other cases cited in the opinion above referred to. It is sufficient for our purposes at this time to say that a careful examination of .ill those cases makes it clear to ua that they do not furnish any basis for the decision in the case first above cited. All the cases above referred to were decided many years ago and during the formative period of legislation re lating to the control of common car riers. The conditions have very great ly changed both as to legislation and the adjudication of courts during the seventeen years since the above case was decided. If we were now entirely without authority upon the question,we would not be impressed by the reason ing adopted by the court in the case of Cutting'vs. Florida Rv. Co., supra. Brewer Settled It. It is the opinion of this board that the precise question involved has been Davenport. Dec. 31. —(Special.) re snils, making twenty-one I, oip.avlv settled by the opinion rendered ed today against the saloon- I by his honor. Justice Brewer, in the case of Gull', Colorado Santa OTTtJMWA COtTEEEE Railway corppany vs. Texas (204 V. S:,. '40$). In the c&se just cited a car cf corn was sold by the Samuel Hardin Grain company at Kansas City, Mo., to parties living at Goldthwaite, Texas. This car originated at Hudson, S. D., and was billed from Hudson, S. D„ to 'Forrester Bros., Texarkana, Tex." At the time of purchase contract was intended that the corn to bo thereby acquired should go to Saylor & Burnette and should be shipped 'o Goldthwaite, from Texarkana, as soon as practicable.'' When it arrived at Texarkana, Tex., an agent of the shipper paid the pur chase price for the corn and paid the freight to Texarkana and rebilled the corn from Texarkana to Goldthwaite. Tex., and "the defendant was not a party to the bill of laiding executed at Texarkana." The single question in the case Is whether as between Texarkana and Goldthwaite this was an interstate shipment ." The above brief statement of facts makes the case a perfect parallel !n principle to the facts which we have assumed in your case. Without quoting elaborately from the opinion of the court, it is sufficient to say that Justice Brewer holds that the first bill of lading from Hudson, S. D., to Texarkana. Tex., is an inde pendent contract for an interstate shipment, and is fully completed when the freight is paid at Texarkana uy the shipper or his agent. "Whatever may have "been the thought or purpose of the Hardin com pany in respect to the further dispose tion of the corn, was a matter imma terial so far as the completed trans portation was concerned. "The control over goods in process of transportation, which may be re peatedly changed by sales, is one thing the transportation is another thing, and follows the contract of ship ment, until that is changed 4iy agree ment of owner and carrier. The owner had a right, upon the completion of his contract, to change his mind as to its ultimate destination. He could sell his product at Texar kana or retain it for his own use, or make any disposition that he saw fit to make. In the case above cited, he saw fit to rebill /it to Goldthwaite, Texas, in accordance with his original purpose. "Whatever obligations may rest iu 011 the carrier at the terminus of Us transportation to deliver to some fur ther carrier in obedience to the in-, structions of the owner, it is acting not. as a carrier, but simply as a for warder," and upon arrival of the co-u at Texarkana, and the completion uf the contract by the payment of tli'j and control of the corn, and that was after the first contract of transporta tion had been completed." Iowa Follows Suit. Wo believe that the reasoning adopt ed by his honor. Justice Brewer, is sound, and it would serve 110 good pur pose to set the same out in full in this opinion. It. is the latest adjudica tion upon the subject which lias been called to our attention and we feel we ought to be bound by it, and especially in view of the fact that it is in har mony with our own judgment. From a careful examination of all the authorities we arrive at the fol lowing conclusions: First—It. is immaterial what the pur poses or intentions of a shipper be when he undertakes to ship from a point without the state to a point within the state. tion and the ultimate destination, and then make a new bill of lading or this was not changed by the breaking of this continuous journey by the pay ment of freight and rebilling. Second—A shipper has a right to ship from a point, without the state to a point within the state, using a bill of lading between said points, pay the freight at the points of arrival contract, by rebilling to any point in the state. Third—In such case the Iowa dis tance tariff governs as to the rebill ing and reshipment. Fourth— A shipper has a right to any advantages which may. be discov ered by him in the way of lower freight rates in thus bringing his ship ment, within tl\e jurisdiction of the laws of this state and in the applica tion of the local distance tariff. I think this opinion will answer all questions which may be in your mind upon the subjects suggested to us in your letter. You will pardon the ex haustiveness of this reply, as it is made for preservation in the office and fpr the purpose of serving as a guide in cases that may hereafter be presented to the commission, involv ing the same principle. —.
