Supreme Court to decide if railroads may pay for transport with ads
The U S Supreme Court will hear a test case from Illinois challenging a federal ruling that transportation must be paid in money. Railroads argue contracts with newspapers for time cards and related ads should be valid without monetary payment, citing freedom of contract. Monon Railroad lawyers contend the law allows non monetary compensation and no subterfuge to evade the rate law. The case may prompt a high court ruling on rate law language and contract fairness. In Des Moines, Louis Busse is to hang for his wife murder committed years ago after the Iowa Supreme Court denied a habeas corpus appeal.
