The opinion

Mr. Justice Simpson,

dissenting.

I do not differ with the expressions in the majority opinion as to the proper scope of judicial review in such cases as this. But I feel constrained to dissent from the view that the Railroad Commission’s action in granting the permit was not reasonably supported by substantial evidence. It occurs to me that the proof adequately demonstrates that it was. So my dissent.
