Halaman 6 - It is no answer to the objection to this legislation to say that the company has voluntarily sold thousand-mile tickets good for a year from the time of their sale. What the company may choose voluntarily to do furnishes no criterion for the measurement of the power of a legislature. Persons may voluntarily contract to do what no legislature would have the right to compel them to do.

Halaman 53 - In passenger transportation, reductions when made should bo in the basic 3.6-cent fare, which would apply to Pullman and coach travelers alike. Indeed, to reduce the passenger fare of the traveler who gets more transportation and, as a rule, can pay for more, and not to reduce the fare of the traveler who sometimes gets very little and whose ability to pay often makes it impossible for him to patronize the superservice, would seem to be a form of rank discrimination. But other adjustments demand...
Halaman 64 - I was about to say we have had no chance of replying to anything said by the other side, because they have said nothing; but if they do say anything that requires reply, we would like an opportunity to make it.

IN THE MATTER OF CHARGES FOR PASSENGERS TRAVELING IN SLEEPING AND PARLOR CAKS Submitted November 24, 1924.
Halaman 66 - Federal control. That surcharge amounted to 16% per cent of the passenger fare. The present surcharge does not exceed 10 per cent of the fare. We thereafter prescribed both the basic passenger fare and the surcharge as reasonable for intrastate application in many States, the surcharge in at least 14 States. At present it is applicable interstate throughout the country and to all Pullman travel intrastate except in North Carolina, South Carolina, and West Virginia.
Halaman 6 - ... from all others, and therefore to part with its property without due process of law. The affairs of the company are in this way taken out of its own management, not by any general law applicable to all, but by a discrimination made by law to which the company is made subject. Whether an act of this nature shall be passed or not, is not a matter of policy to be decided by the Legislature. It is a matter of right of the company to carry on and 'manage its concerns subject to the general law applicable...
Halaman 77 - Respondents, however, furnish only the transportation service, for which the basic fare is 3.6 cents per mile, established pursuant to our findings in Increased Rates, 1920, and which is not in issue. The increased cost and weight of car and the additional service rendered are all made necessary by and are a part of that for which the passenger pays the Pullman Company. This extra expense is a part of the cost of such service, for which the Pullman Company should pay.
