The 1umbermen protest against
the higher rates on the ground that
undue excess in rates for transpor-
tation in Montana will result in a
large surplus being taken from the
pockets of Montana citizens and in
which surplus may be bur-
fed in the improvements of the car
riers or may be passed on to the fed
eral exchequer, as excess earnings,
in which case it will in all probability
be applied to other states and other
districts to the needs of less FORUM
ate carriers The lumbermen also
say that constitutional and states |
rights questions are involved.
