QUESTION
Livestock Association Asks
Reduction From Inter-
state Commerce Body
BULLETIN Is ISSUED

BY complaint filed sometime ago
with the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, the National Live Stock
Association alleges that the present
rates on livestock from North Ia
kota, South Dakota, Montana and
other states to the terminal markets
at South Saint Paul, Sioux CITY,
Omaha, Chicago, Kansas City, ETC..
are unreasonable higher, says the
weekly bulletin of the state railroad
commission. The complainant asks
the Interstate Commerce COMMISSION
to remove all increases made IN the
live stock rates since June %, 1918.
If this is done it would mean re-
| ductions ranging from % to 30 per
cent in the present rates. As the
| live stock industry is OF great mn
| portancc to the state, this Commls-
sion has interviewed in support Of
. the complaint and will offer cXhi-
bits and testimony at the hearing
which will be held in Kansas City,
Missouri, on January 80, 1928.
