          SELECTION OF CASES



                        UNDER   THE



INTERSTATE COMMERCE ACT






                        EDITED   BY
                 FELIX FRANKFURTER
            PROFESSOR OF LAW IN HARVARD UNIVERSITY




                        In the law we only occasionally can reach an
                        absolutely final and quantitative determination,
                        because the worth of the competing social ends
                        which respectively solicit a judgment for the
                        plaintiff or the defendant cannot be reduced to
                        number and accurately fixed. The worth, that
                        is, the intensity of the competing desires, varies
                        with the various ideals of the time, and, if the
                        desires were constant, we could not get beyond
                        a relative decision that one was greater and one
                        was less. But it is of the essence of improve-
                      ment that we should be as accurate as we can.
                                          MR. JUSTICE HOLMES.
