Idaho Public Utilities Board Rejects Intra State Rate Hikes
The Idaho Public Utilities Commission refuses to permit railroads operating in Idaho to raise intra state rates despite nationwide increases authorized by the Interstate Commerce Commission.

Railroads in Idaho reportedly had net profits in 1937, prompting the commission to challenge the farmers’ profits claim.
