The order affects only, transportation within the state, | and allows the attendant of one ear of livestock free transporta-| tion to the point of destination) and one-half fare return tran-! sportation. | In the past free transportation going and coming has been al-| lowed only for the attendant of | two or more cars of livestock. On} December 81, 1921, a petition! was filed by the Northwestern Livestock Shippers’ league, seek- | ing free transportation for the! attendant of one car of livestock and one-half fare on the return! trip. The commission in its) order allowed the petition, and ordered the filing of the modifi-| cation with the commission with- | in 60 days. | This order is effective when! | an attendant is furnished to ac-| company the car of livestock to! | load, unload, feed and water the stock to the point of destination. Similar orders have been made | by the public utilities commis-} | sions of Washington and Oregon. | As the state commission has} jurisdiction only over shipments within the state, the complainant shippers’ league was advised by the commission to proceed before the interstate commerce com- mission.
