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.

St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern Railway Company v. Edwards No. 12 Submitted January 20, 1913 Decided February 24, 1913 227 U.S. 265
ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE STATE OF ARKANSAS
Syllabus
Action by Congress on a subject within its domain under the commerce clause of the Constitution results in excluding the states from acting on that subject.
As applied to interstate shipments, the state cannot now impose penalties for delay in delivery to consignee, as Congress has acted on that subject by the passage of the Hepburn Act. Chicago, R.I. & P. Ry. Co. v. Hardwick Elevator Co., 226 U.S. 426.
The so-called Demurrage Statute of 1907 of Arkansas requiring railroad companies to give notice to consignees of arrival of shipments and penalizing them for noncompliance is an unconstitutional interference with interstate commerce so far as interstate shipments are concerned.
94 Ark. 394 reversed.
The facts, which involve the constitutionality under the commerce clause of the Constitution of the United States of the Arkansas Demurrage Statute, are stated in the opinion.
