investigation afforded basis for argument as to constant conditions. Id.
4. Possible inaccuracy of apportioning general road main- tenance expenses between freight and passenger service by engine-ton miles held not to affect result. Id.
5. Whether adoption of low rates fixed by State would be followed by increased intrastate traffic and revenue, held too remote and conjectural to disturb conclusion. Id.
6. A state" long and short haul" provision, applicable only to intrastate traffic and which allows shipper an absolute right to recover overcharges, sustained.. Missouri Pac. Ry. v. McGrew Coal Co.....
7. Order of Mississippi Railroad Commission requiring restoration of certain passenger trains to service held viola- tive of due process. Miss. R. R. Comm. v. Mobile & Ohio R. R..
8. Reasonableness of requiring operation of specified trains cannot depend upon relation of money return to out-of- pocket cost, i. e., immediate outlay for wages and fuel, in- volved in their operation. Id.
9. In determining whether rates fixed by State are confisca- tory because not yielding proper return, basis of calculation is fair value of property used in service of public. Darnell v. Edwards....
10. Strong presumption in favor of rates fixed by an expe- rienced administrative body after full hearing. Id.
11. Rates should not be held too low because they proved unremunerative during a brief period, when conditions for traffic were abnormally poor and little effort made to im- prove them. Id.
12. In determining adequacy, circumstances that road has been built in unfavorable locality, and nature and value of service actually rendered to public, should be considered. Id.
13. Semble, that, in testing validity of rates affecting a lim- ited class of traffic in which railroad is for the time engaged, extra cost of construction, not justified by that traffic but

14. In absence of fair test of rates challenged as confiscatory, and in presence of some doubt of their adequacy, dismissal of bill should not be absolute, but without prejudice to an- other suit, in case they should prove confiscatory when fully and fairly tested. Id.
15. Where enforcement of state rates is enjoined and ship- pers and travelers prohibited from suing carrier for failure to keep them in effect, District Court, after reversal by this court with directions to dismiss bill, cannot inquire into and assess damages sustained by shippers and travelers by reason of temporary and permanent injunctions, for pur- pose of fixing liability on temporary injunction bonds, at least as to persons who did not appear. St. Louis, I. Mt. & So. Ry. v. Mc Knight......
16. Ancillary suit cannot be maintained to enjoin such per- sons from suing in state court (after dismissal of original bill) to recover excess rates collected by carrier during the restraint. Id.
