In Des Moines on March 28, three Iowa express companies filed federal suit in Creston before Judge Smith McPherson to restrain the Iowa Board of Railroad Commissions from enforcing the December 31 1910 order reducing express rates. They claim the 15 percent cut would slash intrastate earnings and render operations unprofitable, arguing due process, compensation, and equal protection concerns while noting prior 1908 rate reductions and questioning state authority to regulate rates or exercise eminent domain.
