Interstate commerce commission ruling on Santa Fe differential rates
The Interstate Commerce Commission issued its decision in the Kansas board of railroad commissioners v Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railway case. It upheld that flour transport prices from Kansas to Texas must not unfairly exceed wheat rates, and ordered that corn meal surcharges over corn not exceed seven cents per 100 pounds. It found that some routes from Kansas City Missouri and other points to Texas intermarket territories unfairly favored nearer points and must treat intermediate territories alike, with higher rates limited to specific circumstances.
