Federal Judge Rules Railroads Win Rate Case
Judge Smith McPherson of the U S district court ruled for the railroads in the 1907 passenger and freight rate dispute. The 2 cent passenger fare law and the statute freight rate were deemed non remunerative and confiscatory under the constitution. The decision envisions higher rates if the court set them, with 5 cents per mile for passengers on stronger lines and 3 cents on others, noting many roads operate at a loss and none earn 6 percent. Eighteen railroads were involved in the suit begun by the St Louis and San Francisco Railroad against state officials and the railroad and warehouse commission seeking an injunction against enforcement of the rate laws.
