Excerpt from Eighth Biennial Report of the Railroad Commission of the State of Mississippi: For the Two Years Ending June 30th, 1901 To His Excellency, A. H. Longino, Governor: In compliance with Section 4338, Chapter 34, Code of 1892, we have the honor to submit herewith the Eighth Biennial Report of this Commission, for the two years ending June 30th, 1901. The facts as given show the work done by the Commission, the changes made, and reductions put into effect by the different lines, through the orders of this body. There are some changes in the law which this commission would like to suggest, but owing to the fact that it would be impossible for the Legislature in a short session to handle them, these changes will not be brought to your Excellency's attention until our next Biennial Report, which will come before the regular session of the Legislature in 1904. Organization. The Commission was organized as follows: John D. McInnis, President. A. Q. May, J. C. Kincannon, Commissioners. John A. Webb, Secretary. Docketed Cases. The Commission have handled one hundred docketed cases, and equally as many more of less importance, settled by correspondence. Of the important cases handled by the Commission, may be mentioned: The Commission vs. All Railroads. Cotton Seed Rates. Car Loads, and Less than Car Loads. The Commission being of the opinion that the rates as charged on cotton seed were too high, as compared with other commodities, summoned all the traffic officials to appear, with the view of a general reduction in said rates, and the formulation of a joint tariff on said commodity, when shipped over two or more roads. In this effort the Commission were met with a good deal of opposition, and in the case of the Y. & M. V. R. R. Co. and I. C. R. R., were carried into the United States Court by injunction, restraining the Commission from interfering with the tariffs of said roads, or any change in their then tariffs.
