Rate Suspension Report on Livestock Freight Edges Debated
Washington June 10 The interstate commerce commission cancelled its order suspending rate advances on livestock between the Missouri and Mississippi rivers citing insufficient data to judge reasonableness and equalizing conditions among Omaha Chicago and Kansas City. The old cattle rate was 14.75 cents, now 17 cents. The commission opened talks with trunk line counsel on terminal road allowances tied to iron and steel interests and debated whether terminal railroads should be treated as common carriers. Twelve terminals are tied to United States Steel. thirteen are not. The panel urged cancelling most allowances, preserving six that merit common carrier status. The inquiry spans months and may reach the Supreme Court. Freight rates to Fremont Neb. for coal from several states were deemed unreasonably high versus Omaha and Lincoln.

Tobacco revenue proves expensive
Washington June 10 Representatives Warburton of Washington a newly elected Republican insurgent charged Congress with letting millions of dollars go to waste that it might collect internal revenue taxes on tobacco. He attacked the wool tariff revision saying revenue needs are not a serious argument for high duties on woolen goods. Warburton said Democrats had to adopt protection and revenue excuses while Americans pay far higher taxes on sugar than on cigars. Representative Peters of Massachusetts defended the wool bill saying duties are kept as low as possible while securing tariff revenue.
