Missouri 2-Cent Law Set To Trial In Court
In Kansas City Judge Smith McPherson ordered the Missouri 2-cent fare law put into effect pending experience to show if it is remunerative. He keeps jurisdiction and will hear for an injunction against freight and passenger laws within a week. The 2-cent fare bill, drafted by Attorney General Hadley, aims to remove the case from lesser federal courts. If 2-cent fares ruinous, the court will reconsider.
