Montana Rail Commission discusses elevated intrastate rates
Helena May 7 The Montana railroad commission heard state exhibits showing intrastate rates on livestock and petroleum products higher than in North Dakota Minnesota and Wisconsin. Montanas figures claim petroleum distribution rates higher by 18 to 63 percent over 160 to 300 miles and livestock rates in Montana above those in neighboring states. John Lyndes of the state board of equalization testified on valuation for taxation and ratemaking, while railroad attorneys argued rate setting uses physical valuation and earnings rather than capitalization. The board noted 350 freight rate reductions, new depots and sidings, and ongoing efforts before the interstate commerce commission to lower grain rates.
