The ICC ruled that an unreasonably high rate in one Mississippi River to Pacific terminal case makes the rate unreasonable across all points in the same territory with similar traffic. In Standard Hardwood Lumber Co v Southern Pacific, a 8 cents per 100 pounds rate found unreasonably high leads to applying the 8 cent rate across multiple Mississippi River to Pacific routes under similar conditions.
