It extends, by its terms, to railroad corporations and ‘transportation companies.’ This should be construed to extend the supervision of the commission to all persons engaged in the business of transportation, whether as corporations, joint-stock companies, partnerships, or individuals, and so it has been construed by legislative enactment.””
