Note 22 — Chapter III · THE REVOLUTION IN POLITICS AND LAW
Reading edition
It should be noted that the Supreme Court not only undertook to pass upon the reasonableness of such rates as the states were permitted to make, but also added in 1886 that no state could regulate the rates on goods transported within its borders, when such goods were in transit to or from a point in another state. Such regulation was held in the Wabash, etc., Railway Company v. Illinois (118 U. S. 557) to be an interference with interstate commerce which was subject to control by Congress only.
