Des Moines Letter on 2-Cent Fare Law Battle
Des Moines reports say stockholders seek to block Iowa Central and Minneapolis and St. Louis from enacting the new 2 cent per mile fare. Judge McPherson but allows adding state railroad officials as parties to test the law while noting no state pecuniary interest. Officials anticipate no reduced state fair rates, and further legal moves loom as the Agar suit progresses.
