Rate Making Power The Supreme Court and Hepburn Bill
A summary of the debate over congressional power to set railway rates and the constitutional limits on delegating legislative discretion. The Michigan railroad tax decision informs how a rate making provision must specify a standard to avoid granting the Interstate Commerce Commission broad judicial review or discretionary power. The revised opinion stresses that Congress cannot delegate legislative authority to an agency without a clear standard. Analysts consider forms of a constitutional, definite standard that would permit a valid rate system without unconstitutional delegation.
