State Law Enjoined Bo Profit In Two Cent Fares
Judge Vandeventer granted an injunction against Arkansas rail regulators after finding the two cent passenger fare and two cent per mile freight rates unlawful and noncompensatory. The St Louis Iron Mountain and three other lines must post $200,000 bonds and account for tariff differences versus Arkansas rates. Intrastate freight proves costlier, shaping rate apportionment and legality.

How to Apportion the Cost in Intrastate Traffic
A court analyzes freight and passenger intrastate earnings versus operating costs and taxes. It finds intrastate freight earnings far below proportional costs, some passenger earnings also below or near, others slightly above but not at 1 percent return, deeming the rates noncompensatory and confiscatory. The judge grants a temporary injunction with a bond to indemnify the shipper and passenger if reversed.
