Taft Proposes Railroad Law Changes to curb rates
President Taft urges amendments to interstate commerce law to curb discriminatory rates. He backs a five member Interstate Commerce Court with power to stay orders, allow hearings before changes take effect, and empower the commission to modify or annul rate rules. Proposals aim to curb abuses, justify rate changes, and ensure fair classification, while limiting railroad stock growth and protecting shippers.
