CHAPTER VI The Regulation Of Railway Rates The Rate-fixing Power Of The States The Eight Of Regulation Aside from the judicial enforcement of the commonlaw duties of public service corporations,1 railway-rate regulation has been applied in the first instance through the state legislatures and commissions and through the Interstate Commerce Commission. The primary problem was whether power was legally vested in the state legislatures to control the rates and charges of railway corporations. The question first arose in the so-called Granger cases,2 involving the validity of the Granger legislation explained in an earlier chapter. The validity of this legislation was upheld at every point. The first and most important of these Granger cases was Munn v. Illinois, decided in 1876. In this case the constitutionality of an Illinois statute fixing a maximum rate for the storage of grain in elevators in Chicago was involved. The plaintiff, who had been convicted and fined in the state courts for a violation of the statute, appealed to the federal courts on the ground that the enforcement of the statutory rate would constitute a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution.3 The constitutionality of the statute was upheld by the Supreme Court, and the same legal principles were applied in the subsequent cases to railway rates. i The common-law duties of common carriers in many of their phases are treated in The. Law of Carriers by Ralph Merriam, a treatise in the course in Interstate Commerce and Railway Traffic. 2 Munn v. Illinois, 94 V. S. 113; C, B. & Q. R. R. Co. v. Iowa, 94 U. S. 155; Peik v. C. and N.

Excerpt from Railway Regulation: An Analysis of the Underlying Problems in Railway Economics From the Standpoint of Government Regulations In the following pages an attempt is made to present an analysis of the leading problems in railway economics from the standpoint of government regulation in the United States. While it has been my purpose to Vitalize the discussion by the liberal use of concrete illustrative material, the emphasis throughout has been placed upon the discovery of underlying causes and the consideration of fundamental principles. The historical development of railway transportation has been traced only in so far as early conditions and past events have been shown to throw light upon the meaning and significance of current practices and present day problems. The various stages in the growth of the American system of public control, state and national, have been given careful and detailed consideration be cause the principles and methods of railway regulation, as applied in the United States today, are the result of a gradual development. Both legislative enactment and judicial decision have slowly accommodated themselves to the irresistible pressure of our changing social and political ideals and our expanding commercial and indus trial needs.
