One historic property in Phoenix, Arizona that exemplifies one of the beautiful architectural styles is the Union Station in downtown Phoenix. This building, built in 1923 by the Santa Fe and the Arizona Eastern (representing the Southern Pacific) railroads, features the Mission Revival style. This style emphasizes stucco wall surfaces, red tile roof, wide overhanging eaves, shaped Mission dormer or roof parapets, and porch roofs that are held up by large square piers that usually have an arch above them. This style was popular in California, owing to the Spanish influence in that region. It moved from California to other parts of the West when the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific railroads used the style for the stations they built. Mission Revival style began to be seen in the early 1890s and continued in popularity until 1920, or near the end of the first World War.
Another famous Phoenix building is the Luhrs Building, designed by Trost & Trost architecture firm from El Paso, Texas and built in 1924. Henry C. Trost was the designer, and his work evidences his ability to design in many styles, most notably Art Deco, Mission Revival, Prairie and Pueblo Revival, many showing the influence of the famed work of Chicago school architect Louis Sullivan. The Luhrs Building emphasizes the top half of the upper stories through the use of a heavy cornice and marble ornamentation, both of which are in keeping with the Prairie style and Sullivan influence.
An architect famous for his work in Southwestern architecture is Will Bruder. He designed the Burton Barr Central Library, including such features as an open, one-acre large reading room and the "Crystal Canyon," the name for the stairwell and elevator that utilize glass and steel. Sunlight into the building is directed by motorized louvers on the southern side of the building, and on equinox days you can enjoy the sunlight alignment.
The rich history of these buildings continues to influence the design style of new homes in Phoenix to this day. Phoenix realtors know where to find historically influenced properties, so contact them today.

please only for ppl who know in law??
as a safety measure, Arizona enacted a statute that limited the length of passenger trains to 14 cars and freught trains to 70 cars. Trains of those lengths and greater were common throughout the united states. The southern pacific Railroad challenged the Arizona statute
a) what was the legal foundation of the southern pacific claim?
b) may u plz decide that case. sum explain plz
What I know in law is that you should be able to answer this question if you read the cases or other study materials your teacher gave you.
EDIT FOR JACKSON:
The interstate commerce clause does NOT apply to state regulated highways, rails or other modes of transportation. That is why there is not a national speed limit. Or at least not one that was the result of federal extortion by threat of loss of federal highway funding. Many states have restrictive weight and size regulations on trucks and other vehicles. These have consistently been upheld. This is no different.
EDIT FOR REDGATOR:
He has six law related questions that are clearly school assignments. If he's in law school, he should be kicked out. If he thinks he's going to get INTO law school with study habits like this, thankfully he wont.
