The history shows the 1897 contract with Canadian Pacific, 1922 and 1924 suspensions and firings, and the court rulings. Western MPs pushed for continued higher eastbound flour and wheat rates while the West seeks protection. Meighen would abolish them. Analysts estimate substantial freight savings and losses.

It cites Cox and Col liers on farmers fair returns and notes low election interest. It mentions office stationery ads and a rental room at Mrs Coulter.
