R R Commission Law 1905 Criticized By Shippers Lawyer
The article reviews John Worth Kern as attorney for Indiana shippers who backed the 1905 railroad commission law later repealed in 1907. It argues the 1905 act gave the commission no real power, hindered tariffs, and failed to oversee railroads, with inspections beginning only after 1907. It cites cases like unshelled peas and notes 1909 inspections showing new enforcement.
