Evans Removed From University Hearing on Interstate Traffic
A Kansas railroad statistician testified before an Oklahoma corporation commission hearing on proposed grain and hay rates. He argued interstate rates are more economical, citing a 50 percent higher cost to handle strictly state traffic. Data showed Oklahoma lines posted a loss under the rule, while Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe showed a net revenue after costs. Columbus Maile and other officials argued the proposed rates align with prior enjoined tariffs and would not harm state business.
