U.S. Supreme Court UNITED STATES v. STATE OF IDAHO, 298 U.S. 105 (1936)
[Page 298 U.S. 105, 110] Court Act, June 18, 1910, c. 309, 3, 36 Stat. 539, 542 (now Jud.Code 208, 28 U.S.C.A. 46), Urgent Deficiencies Act, October 22, 1913, c. 32, 38 Stat. 208, 219. Here, the jurisdiction of that Commission was challenged. It and the Oregon Short Line were joined as defendants in the original bill. Paragraph 20 of section 1 of the Interstate Commerce Act, as amended (49 U.S.C.A. 1(20) authorizes any party in interest to apply to 'any court of competent jurisdiction' to enjoin an unauthorized abandonment; and if, on such application, Talbot branch should be held to be a spur, it could not be abandoned legally without the consent of the Public Utilities Commission of Idaho. It is only because the plaintiffs sought also to have the order of the Interstate Commerce Commission annulled (compare Texas & Pacific Ry. Co. v. Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe Ry. Co., , 271-274, 46 S.Ct. 263), that the case was one for three judges and could be brought here by direct appeal under the Act of October 22, 1913, c. 32, 38 Stat. 208, 220 (28 U.S.C.A. 47).
