Interpretation of 1910 Amendment Powers for Commission
The text argues that the 1910 amendment empowers the commission to investigate and examine witnesses about a carrier’s expenditures and accounting methods. It links this to the reasonableness of rates and the risk of hiding important elements through a false accounting system.
Commission seeks forced testimony in railroad inquiry
Mr. Smith refused to answer questions posed by Joseph W. Folk for the commission about the Louisville and Nashville and Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis railroads. The commission sought court action to compel testimony after briefs were filed by both sides. The issue centers on whether the commission has authority to obtain carrier expenditure information and if the investigation is politically motivated.
