Since about 1907. when two-cent fares be? came popular with legislators, the railroads have complained that the rates were conflscatory and placed a burden on Inter-State traffic which properly belonged on Intra-State commerce, Objections of the same nature have be< n made to maximum freight i ite laws adopted in a number < f States.
