Reduced State Fair Rail Rates Upheld By Federal Court

Ruling cites state power limits on rate control and finds the Des Moines fare favoring the fair discriminatory against other educational institutions. Court questions educational value and rejects wholesale rate discrimination for non fair travelers.
