Attorney General denies Hadley veto claim on rail rate bill
An Kansas City report states the attorney general repudiated Gov. Hadley’s veto claim over a bill barring railroad passenger rate discrimination. He said he gave no opinion to the governor and the veto issue is unrelated to Senate Bill No. 87, a salvage measure tied to the 1907 2 cent passenger act. The board was advised not to set any passenger rate schedule until the U S Supreme Court rules on the Missouri rate case.
