Missouri's two-cent passenger
fare and maximum freight rats
law were declared null and void in
the Federal Court of Kansas City
on Monday last by Judge Smith
Mcpherson of Iowa. The court in
it's decision declared that these
laws could not hold under the ccn-
stitution on the grounds that they
arbitrarily fixed rates at figure
that confiscated the earnings of the
railroads. An injunction was is
sued against the state officers re-
straining them from enforcing the
rate laws. 1t is believed that the
railroads will shortly re-establish
the former three cent passenger
rate in Missouri.
Governor Hadley, who, while he
was attorney general, forced the
railroa 1s to observe the rate laws,
says the grounds on which Judge
Mcpherson bases bis ruling are
wrong and that the state will test
the validity of the matter in the
Supreme Court.

There is no indication that govern
