holds Every Contention In Favor OF the
Law to Lower and Fix Rates Charged
Shippers of Livestock-Stock Yards
Tail.
Topeka, Oct. A-Judge Foster today
handed down his opinion in the Kansas
City stock yards case, in which he de-
cided against the company on every le-
gal question raised. The opinion is very
sweeping and the decision is a complete
victory for Attorney General Boyle.
The stocks yards company will appeal
to the United States supreme court.
The Kansas City stock yards case
grew out Of the efforts OF the stock
yards company to prevent the enforce
ment of the law passed oy the last Kan
sas legislature reducing yardage charg
es. The taking of testimony in the case
was begun in this city on April 80 last,
George w. Clark, assistant attorney
general Of Kansas, acting as special
master. The purpose OF the stock yards
people was to prove that the present
charges were reasonab Die, that the prices
fixed by the Kansas legislature were
ruinous, and that IN attempting TO fix
the rates the state interferred with in
terstate commerce. The yards lie in
both Kansas Citys, being situated on
the Mssour-Kansas line. To the CON-
pany, which is the second largest in the
country. the result Of the case means
thousands if not millions of dollars.
The case was brought in such d shape
as 20 make Boyle and not the state de-
PENDANT, although il was an attack on
the state law passed by the last legis-
iature 20 regulate and reduce charges on
livestock al the yards, and an applica-
ton for an injunction to restrain Boyle
as a state officer from enforcing the law.
There were three points on which the
stock yard owners relied. Judge Foster
said that none of them could stand. His
decision, boiled down TO a few words.
is:
The law governing stock yard charges
was regularly passed by the Kansas leg
islature. The stock yards company is
only an incident of commerce and. IN
me absence of action by congress, is
subject 10 the state laws. Congress has
not acted to fix regulations governing
it. The charges fixed by the legislature
would give a reasona BILE return on the
capital invested.
