Curves of Cummins Testimony on Rates at Senate Hearing
Governor Cummins testified before the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee disputing Iowa farmers receive unfair rates for butter and eggs. He argued eastern demand and railroad pricing do not justify higher costs, insisting current rates do not raise producer profits and that eastern shortages drive consumer prices lower. The exchange touched on cost basis and policy, with criticism of rate regulation and corporate influence.
