Supreme Court Case on Railroad Earnings Sharing 1920s 30s
Federal court rulings reviewed a dispute over a railroad required to repay part of net earnings to the government for ten months in 1920 and the calendar years 1921 1923 and 1933 under Old Law. The commission allowed 6 percent retention, communal sharing of excess earnings, and a fixed enhancement fund for weaker railroads, while the court did not rule on valuation formula, noting earnings retained exceeded 8 percent. The Supreme Court heard arguments that no single formula governed valuation, with the commission claiming consideration of all value elements used in rate making including replacement cost.
