Synopsis

An Act to regulate transportation and commerce, and creating a Railroad Commission of the State of Oregon, 1907 is a historical legal text that explains how Oregon set up a railroad regulator and what powers and duties they would have.

It outlines the creation of a three‑member commission, how commissioners are appointed or elected, and the rules they must follow.

This edition describes the commission’s organization, qualifications, salaries, and the need to prevent unfair rates and discrimination. It covers open hearings, enforcement of rates, and the process for challenging or enforcing orders in court. The act also details travel expenses, recordkeeping, and the commission’s ability to adopt rules and regulate rail service.

• How the three commissioners are chosen and what districts they represent
• Rules for appointments, removal, oaths, bonds, and salaries
• Procedures for hearings, evidence, and open access to the public
• Mechanisms to set, enforce, or appeal railroad rates and practices

Ideal for readers of early 20th‑century regulatory history, state government, and Oregon legal heritage.
