Must Stand by Agreement When
Not Unfair, Says Supreme
Court.
LOWER COURT AFFIRMED
BY HIGHER TRIBUNAL
Important Opinion Is Handed
Down in Action Against the
Short Line.

Contracts between shipper and car
ricr, whereby the former agrees in con-
sideration of reduced freight rate TO
release the latter from liability in case
Of loss except for the value agreed
upon are binding and Will not be set
aside by the courts unless ulterior pur-
poses appear or fraud and misrepre'
sentation arc exercised. Such is the
decision of the supreme court In an
opinion handed down Friday in the case
of Clara Larsen against tho Oregon
Short Line Railroad company.
Mrs. Larsen turned over to the rail
way company at Blackfoot, Idaho, on
May 29, 1907, household goods, includ~
ing a roll Of carpet. one feather bed,
four pillows and three boxes of other
household effects, valued at S1l7, for
delivery to Salt Lake City. In consld-
Grafton of reduced freight rate of
$2.03, Mrs. Larsen placed the value of
The goods, which weighed 900 pounds,
were lost, and Mrs. Larsen sued to re-
cover the full value, SLY. District
Judge Lewis gave her Judgment for
Sli.50. in accordance with her agree
ment with the railway company, and
she appealed to the supreme court,
which upholds the trial court, saying:
Opinion Of Court.
"Wo can see no good reason why a
shipper could not be bound by con"
tract, if fair and reasonable and when
fairly entered into, IN which he agrees
that in consideration of a reduction of
the freight charges the carrier shall be
released from liability in case Of loss
except for the value agreed upon. No
doubt, if such an agreement were en-
tered into for ulterior purposes, or If
based upon fraud or misrepresentation
of any kind, and such an issue were pre-
sented and sustained, no court would
enforce such a contract. In the alb
scnce of any evidence involving bad
faith, and where the contract is neither
opposed to public policy or prohibited
by statute, the courts can not declare
it void.
"Tbe question whether contracts like
this one are enforceable in cases where
the property is lost through the negli
gcnce or misconduct of the carrier or
its agents is not involved, and hence
is not passed on -
Justice Frick wrote the opinion, his
associates concurrlng.
