SHORT HAUL STATUTE
OF MISSOURI VALID,
SAYS SUPREME COURT
Law Prohibiting Railroads from
Fixing Higher Freight Rates
for a Short Than a Long Haul
Sustained as Constitutional.

by Associated Press
Washington. May 2t-Provisions
Of Missouri statutes OF 1903 prohibit
ing railroads from fxins higher
freight rates for short than a long
haul. whether such rate discrimination
rs reasonable or unjust. were today as
constitutional By the supreme court.
The Missouri short haul" law is an
amplification By the legislature of state
constitutional declarations of 1872 and
1876 and of the enactments OF a spe-
cial railroad legislation session OF the
Missouri assembly IN 1887. Litigation
has been in progress for years between
the McGrew Coal company and the
Missouri Pacific Railroad company the
latter contending that the constitution
authorized prohibitions OF unjust
rate determinations only and that
both the statutory and constitutional
declarations prohibiting all discrimlna =
tions whether unjust or just and rea =
sonable. were void.
The statutes were construed In the
Missouri courts TO regulate intrastate
freight rates only--not passenger or
interstate commerce The railway COM
pany however. declared their strict
enforcement would burden interstate
commerce. -. o.. confiscatc tho
property OF every common carrier and
drive them all from the state"
The supreme court has upheld
short haul' laws of other states which
are not confiscatory and do not inter-
ferc with Interstate commerce, and its
decision in the present case applies pri-
marily to Missouri's peculiar legal en-
|actmenta aud based upon alleged over
charges FOR coal shipments within that
state
The Missouri Pacific company at
tackled the short haul'' sections of
the Missouri revised statutes OF 1903
fixing maximum penalties of 81 0O0 for
each violation. The short haul" clause
Is charged. violates the due process
and equal protection" clauses OF ths
federal constitution ana Missouris
state commerce.
Missouri courts sustained the short
haul" statutes. declaring that they do
not burden or interfere with interstate
commerce ana are "A valid exercise Of
the states powers over railroads with
in the state They held also. that the
snort maui PROVISIONS ot tne ulu
state constitution were not repealed
by the new, nor by the 1857 statutes,
were declared defiuitiVe merely and
not restrictive Of what constitutes un-
just discrimination
The McGrew coal company secured
IT. Judgment Tor excess charges on
coal shipped within the state only. but
the railroad contended that the Mis-
suuri laws could bee applied to disturb
Interstate rates despite the state courts
construction that the law was opera
tive only upon intrastatc traffic.
