Looking for Lower Freight Rates

c. P. Macarthur, travelling freight
agent for the Union Pacific system
while in Standpoint recently said that
he was cognlzant of the need for hay
rate reductions and that he expected
the carriers to put in new schedule
of lower rates at an early date. He
said that all roads had experienced
marked falling off in farm produce
shipments this winter and assigned the
cause to freight rates which practical
ly enlarged shipping without loss,
adding that reduced rates were APP
parently an economic necessity for the
roads as well as the shippers, if haul
ing tonnage was to be maintained.
The local farmers and business
men state that lower freight rates are
necessity if Idaho's prosperity is to
continue. Present rates, they claim
are practically prohibitive.
