Remember: Farmers formed into the Grange Movement and began to demand
Government action against RR’s!
Grange Laws (Response to RR abuses)– 1871 Illinois law “…establish maximum freight
and passenger rates…”– Other states followed
Munn vs. Illinois (1877)– Upheld the Grange laws– States had the right to regulate rates within
their state (public good)

Interstate Commerce Act (1887)
• Supreme Court rules states can not regulate rates between states (1886)
• In response, Congress passes ICA:– Federal government oversees RR activities– 5 person regulatory board (ICC)
– 1897 Supreme Court rules the ICC can not set maximum rates…
