Frisco Taxes Highlight Higher Oklahoma Rate Share
Oklahoma witnesses told a rate hearing that Frisco taxes are high, with more than 60 percent of the railroad’s 1913 tax burden allocated to the state. The Frisco Road’s supervisor of efficiency, Frank A. Youwins, testified that despite only a third of mileage in Oklahoma, the state levies exceed other states. He cited total taxes and state revenue figures, showing state freight, passenger, and interstate shares. He noted Oklahoma’s per mile cost is higher than Missouri’s and presented exhibit data on operating revenues and expenses for the fiscal year ending June 24, 1914.
