FOR INCREASED RAILROAD
RATES r
Supreme Court Affirmed Ruling
Of Public Service Commis-
.. sion,

jefferson City, March 3O.-The
right Of the Missouri public ser
vice commission to authorize rail-
roads to fix rates in excess Of
those specified in the Missouri
rate laws was upheld by the Mis-
souri, supreme court today. This
decision permits an increase in
passenger and freight rates in
Missouri.
The railroads, under authority
previously granted by the COM
mission, now may advance pas
senger rates to 2 IL cents a mile
for single tickets and to 2 Ia
! cents for round trip tickets. The
rate on 500 and 1,0O0-mile books
will continue at 2 cents. The av-
erage increase in freight rates au-
thorized by the commission is
about S per cent.
The supreme court reversed a
decision of a circuit court which
held void the order OF the public
service commission authorizing
the rate increases.
The decision of the court was
five to one. Judge Bond alone
dissenting. Judge Williams, who
was not a member of the court
when the case was argued, did not
participate in the judgment.
Probably thirty days will elapse
before the railroads can file new
tariffs and put the increased rates
into effect.
The opinion of the court is
based on that section Of the stat
ute which gives the public service
commission power to fix reason
able rates. The opinion holds the
statute valid. The majority
opinion was written by Judge
Farris.
