Representative Gays Rates High in Montana Hearing
Wills offered a equivocal reply to a signed statement from Butte shippers and opposed by Attorney General Rankin. The Montana intrastate rate issue was discussed, with Wills objecting to recording growers’ demands at Minnesota parity if other western states declined. A state exhibit compared Montana’s rate to North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, and Montana saw higher fares in regional lines. Frank J Edwards criticized railroads for lacking excursion rates into the state, noting outside options were common but internal access was limited. He blamed Canadian operations for deficits offset by U.S. earnings of the Northern Pacific and Great Northern.
