Excerpt from Constitutionality of the Proposal in Senate Bill 2906 (66th Cong., 1st Sess.) To Take From a Carrier a Part of Its Earnings on Lawful Rates It should be observed that this requirement is not made as a condition for the exercise of any fran chise granted to the carrier by the Federal Govern ment.

The right to engage in the business of transporting passengers, or of ordi nary and Wholesome commodities, between the States, while subject to appropriate regulation, may not be deemed to be subject to the absolute prohibition of Congress and hence is not to be regarded as a privi lege to be granted on any terms Congress may see fit to impose. Nor is the requirement with respect to excess earnings imposed as a condition of the enjoyment of any guaranty as to earnings Which has been given by the Federal government and accepted by the car rier, thus constituting a contract governing the car rier's operations. The carrier still must take its risk of losses. If it be said in a general sense that the pro visions as to rates constitute a guaranty of proper and adequate rates, this is no more than the promise of the reasonable exercise of the power of regulation.
