Express Rates Must Drop In South Dakota
South Dakota officials argued that express rates set by the 1009 legislature should cut to two thirds of previous levels starting January 1, 1909, with Judge Willard denying a restraining injunction to block the new schedule. The Wells Fargo case questioned earnings, but the judge found the line of value and return did not support confiscation, allowing the rate reduction to proceed. The decision touched on interstate commerce and related assessments while other local cases in Sturgis and Hot Springs reported accidents and resignations within regional offices.
