Rights of Congress as to Rate Regulation Defined
The Minnesota interstate rate challenge restates that state authority to set reasonable intrastate rates remains after the Interstate Commerce Act. The Supreme Court’s reasoning affirms Congress’s paramount power over interstate commerce, while allowing states to regulate local traffic within constitutional bounds unless Congress acts. It discusses fair value, cost of reproduction, and allocation between interstate and intrastate use, upholding state rates as not inherently confiscatory within the federal framework.

Rates not confiscatory in Minneapolis and St Louis Rebroad case
The examination of estimates of value and methods of apportionment shows insufficient proof to declare confiscatory rates. The decree in the Minneapolis & St Louis Rebroad case is affirmed with modification allowing state officers to seek further orders if changes in circumstances warrant reasonable compensation for services rendered.

Supreme Court decision preserves state power on intrastate rates
Washington reports that the Supreme Court in the Minnesota state rate case holds Congress has not deprived states of fixing intrastate rates. The decision signals Congress may regulate interstate and intrastate rates if commerce becomes blended, but no direct intrastate regulation is yet undertaken. DOJ officials see open issues in related Shreveport case.

Minnesota Rate Decision Shakes Financiers and Market
Bankers and brokers watched the Minnesota rate ruling unfold as the Supreme Court’s action reframed interstate commerce power. Analysts hailed a potential move toward federal oversight via Congress, while railroads welcomed a victory for reasonable returns and relief from state control.
Victory Declared For Minnesota After Supreme Court Ruling
Minnesota officials hailed the Supreme Court decision as a major victory. The ruling could force railroads to refund millions in overcharges and prompts a new law requiring railroads to keep monthly freight charge records. The state will collect any overcharged amounts from shipments since the injunction, with refunds to be issued after each court finding. Governor Aberhart called it the best news in a long time.

Minnesota rate cases reach Supreme Court on interstate commerce
The Minnesota railroad rate cases began in 191s when the State Railroad Commissioners set rates at 2 percent of prior levels, prompting lawsuits from nine railroads. Courts found the rates unlawful and unconstitutional for interfering with interstate commerce, with decisions evolving through masters and federal judges before the U.S. Supreme Court heard the consolidated appeals from multiple states.
Rate decision epitomized in state railroad regulation
States may regulate railroad rates within their borders when interstate commerce is not federally governed. Courts require the railroad to prove confiscation only if regulation becomes confiscation. The Supreme Court found Minnesota rates non confiscatory for Northern Pacific and Great Northern, but upheld confiscatory rates for Minneapolis and Saint Louis Railroad.
