G P Heffelfinger of the North West Line Elevators Association reported that fourteen members with 2,865 country elevators and ten terminals earned only two and two thirds cents per bushel on Board Wheat in country elevators and one and four tenths cents per bushel from all sources at terminals. He cited higher operating and maintenance costs from larger scales, cleaning equipment, labor, taxation, and sabotage protection, arguing the rate has prevailed for years.
