States Rights to Fix Railroad Rates Intra State Case
Justice Hughes voices that state rate regulation for intrastate rail traffic may be constitutional but warns against confiscatory returns. The decision addresses whether state prescribed rates unreasonably burden inter state commerce and cites impacts on nearby border cities and overall railroad value. The court emphasizes federal supremacy where inter state effects arise while preserving state authority over local rates.
