Railroad Freight Rates Seek Six Percent Increase
Washington reports the railroad industry formally petitioned the Interstate Commerce Commission for a new general six percent rise in freight rates. If approved it would be the ninth postwar hike, bringing total increases to about 57 percent above 1946 levels. Major railroads nationwide joined in the filing, arguing ongoing operating cost rises justify the higher charges.

Split approved: Kansas Farm Bureau to separate from county groups
Salina Kansas delegates at a January 16 meeting voted 141 to 132 to separate the Kansas Farm Bureau from county Farm Bureaus. The resolution will go to the state legislature. A district court ruling in Ottawa last year found county bureaus cannot join or pay dues to the Kansas Farm Bureau. The suit, filed by Franklin County attorney Myron Steere, argues county bureaus are part of the extension service funded by taxes while the Kansas Farm Bureau is a private insurance entity.
