Oregon Judge Upholds State Railroad Rates Decision
Judge Wolverton of the Federal court upheld the Oregon State Railroad commission and its rate schedule. The ruling dissolves a temporary injunction and requires the Oregon Railroad & Navigation company to refund about 14 percent of freight charges collected since May 26, 1908 for Oregon station movements. The decision rejects claims that the commission was constitutionally invalid or that penalties were excessive compared with other traffic laws.
