Witnesses at Senate hearings urged immediate study of freight rate differentials to level regional inequities. Texas official Ernest O Thompson and El Paso Freight Bureau head F R Tanner cited discriminatory South and Southwest rates and called for legislative action and ICC resources.

Thompson of the Texas Railroad Commission told a Senate interstate commerce committee that freight rates in Texas have not kept pace with social and industrial changes. He cited Amarillo and the Panhandle on the highest freight rate plateau, noting growth from a 6,000 population to over 50,000 and urging rate reductions to spur industrial expansion. C. F. Childe of Omaha later contrasted interterritorial rates affecting the Panhandle with those in the East, arguing a 5 percent discrepancy lacks cost justification.
