Governor Acts on Grain Rate Question by Railroads
Governor Morrill pressed the state railroad commissioners to act on the corn rate issue. The board said the current rate is a restoration of pre October levels, not a blanket raise, with variation by region and mentions the M and T system near Neosho Falls. They cited limited power to change rates, noting interstate regulators govern such moves. A coordinated through rate with Texas and Indian Territory was discussed but deemed unlikely. The board forecast a likely railroad resolution within thirty days.
