Supreme Court Reverses Kansas Stock Yards Law
The United States Supreme Court overturned a Kansas law regulating stockyard rates, reversing the circuit court ruling and sending the case back with instructions to enter judgment for the Kansas Stock Yards Company plaintiffs. Justice Brewer delivered the decision. Justices Hurt Gray Brown Shires White and Medenna concurred in part. The decision held the 1897 act unconstitutional in part but upheld essential aspects, noting due process and state police power concerns. Attorney General Godard declined to overstate surprise, saying the ruling trims but does not end regulatory effort for stockyards.
