					General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present.  The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

    ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT
    OF THE STATE OF NORTH DAKOTA
    Syllabus
    Willcox v. Consolidated Gas Company, 212 U.S. 19, followed to effect that, where the state court has found the rate fixed by a state commission on a single commodity to be not confiscatory and has refused an injunction, the decree will be affirmed without prejudice to the right of the carrier to reopen the case if, after adequate trial of the rate, it can prove that it is actually confiscatory and amounts to a deprivation of property without due process of law. 
    17 N.D. 223 affirmed without prejudice. 
    The facts are stated in the opinion.
