Sec. 2. Pipe lines for the transportation of coal or mineral oils, or natural gas from a point of production within the limits of the state to any other point in the stale, or to a point in another or adjoining state, shall be considered as common carriers to the end that all persons, cities, towns, villages, manufactories, furnaces, smelting works, or places within the state may have connection with the main pipe line for the purpose of purchasing the product for fuel or light for domestic or manufacturing purposes.
Sec. 3. The individual, company, or corporation owning or controlling any pipe line within the state shall be allowed just and reasonable compensation for the transportation of their products, but in no event shall a greater or higher price be charged the inhabitants of this state than is charged to the inhabitants of another or adjoining state, nor shall such common carrier discriminate between places, persons, companies, or corporations by charging for such product a higher or greater price at one point than another, nor between such persons, companies or corporations within the State of Wyoming without regard to quantity.
