General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway Company v. State Public Utilities Commission No. 148 Argued December 5, 1917 Decided January 8, 1917 242 U.S. 333
ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS
Syllabus
An order of a state commission fixing a rate for transportation in purely intrastate commerce will not be disturbed upon the grounds that it produces discrimination against interstate commerce, interfere with administrative provisions of the Interstate Commerce Act, and intrudes upon the jurisdiction of the Interstate Commerce Commission where the relations of the rate fixed to interstate commerce have not been determined by the Interstate Commerce Commission and are not established by the evidence, and where the certainty that it will operate to the injury of those engaged in such commerce is not made to appear.
268 Ill. 49 affirmed.
The case is stated in the opinion.
