able and proper to require common carriers to give receipts for
containers of dairy products or of other property or goods re-
ceived for transportation within this state, whenever said con-
tainers are intended to be returned; the commission shall de-
termine the form of said receipt and the proper regulations in
respect to the issuing of the same, and the return of said con-
tainers, subject to the provisions of this Section, and shall so
fix and prescribe the same by order to be served upon every
common carrier or other person or corporation to be bound
thereby; and thereafter it shall be the duty of every such com-
mon carrier, or other person or corporation, to observe and obey
each and every requirement of every such order so served upon
it; no common carrier shall charge a greater rate where such
receipts are issued than they would otherwise be entitled to
charge for the services performed.
