Iowa Board Cases Lower Freight Rates and Home Industry Policy
The Iowa Board of Railroad Commissioners submitted its annual report to Governor Carroll detailing ongoing rate reductions achieved by reclassifying commodities and adjusting schedules. The board stresses safeguarding public safety and service, urges legislative support for inspecting rail infrastructure, and advocates protecting and growing Iowa manufacturing and packing industries with favorable intrastate rates. It highlights the goal of keeping raw materials and employment within Iowa and notes comments on intercity rates affecting livestock, grain, coal, and manufactured goods. The report also references the Iowa Woman Suffrage convention in Corydon and potential post-retirement publishing plans for State Superintendent John F Riggs, plus a nod to an acclaimed remedy for diarrheal illnesses.
