The hearing before the South Dakota
Board Of Railroad Commissioners in the
matter of a 2Ik-cent passenger rate for
South Dakota and new schedule Of freight
rates for that portion of the state lying
west of the Missouri river, after having
been in progress for about day and
half at the headquarters of the railroad
commission in Sioux Falls, came to a some
what unexpected end by another adjourn
ment being taken until September 26
The decision to adjourn the hearing until
that date followed the announcement that
the Chicago & Northwestern railroad was
now engaged in the work of preparing a
new schedule of freight rates for its new
lines west of the Missouri river, and that
It was expected the new schedule would be
completed by September 26 and ready to be
submitted to the board on that date.
Freight rates east of the Missouri river
were adjusted by the board putting in
new schedule last spring. The matter OF
reducing the passenger rate in South Da-
kota from 3 cents to 2h cents per mile. in
accordance with an act of the last legisla-
ture has not yet been decided by the board,
although arguments were concluded by rep
resentatives of the railroad companies
Practically every railroad company hav-
ing lines in the state was represented at
the hearing by one ior more of its officials,
who stoutly opposh the proposed reduc-
tion in passenger rates, claiming that the
time was not ripe for reducing such rates
in South Dakota. bwing to it's compare
lively small population as compared with
the older and more thickly settled states of
the east.
1t was stated By one of the representa-
tives that not a single carrier doing bust
ness in South Dakota was today making
dollar on its investment in the state. and
that many of the roads, or all of them,
are able to show a loss on both passenger
and freight traffic on South Dakota lines.
1t was argued, in substance that reduc-
tion of the passenger rate to 21k cents per
mile would be conhscation of the property
of the railroads by the state of South Da-
kota
AS an illustration OF how the reduction, II
made, will affect the interstate traffic of the
roads it was pointed out by a representa-
tive of the Burlington railroad system that
it loss of about $4,000 per year on a strip
of only forty-slx miles of its road.
The forty-six miles In question is that
part of the Billings (Mont) branch of the
Burlington which passes through the ex-
treme southwestern portion of South Da-
kota for the distance stated. Representa-
tives of other railroad systems showed that
they would suffer corresponding losses II
the railroad commissioners decided to- es-
tablish a 215-cent rate.
