An 1870s controversy over excess baggage charges contrasts old 12 percent of fare with a proposed 4 percent rate under the two cent law. Railroads claim fare reductions mandate lower baggage fees, yet the change yields a higher percent of ticket cost for heavy luggage. The discussion cites a 100 pound baggage movement from Cleveland to Cincinnati and notes the rate shift as a matter of percent rather than absolute cost.
