WEDNESDAY, NOV. 27, 1918. DISAPPROVED Commissioners Object to In- crease in Rates and to Zoning System WOULD HAVE TERMINALS The national assoc:ation of state railway commissions swatted severn] of Director General MeAdow's jet pro- jects, according to Commissioner ©. W. Bleick of the North Dakota rail board, who’ returned the of the week from the annual convention of the American association of state rai- way commissions, held in the inter: state commerce commissiou rooms Washington. The commissioners were unanisnous in their opposition to a proposed adui- tional increase in rates which Direeter General McAdoo had tentative'y sub- mitted, and they also protested his proposed zoning em of district] freight rates. As Commissioner Bleick understands the sfroposition, McAdoo is proposing a general application of the long and short haul elause which would especially favor Chicago. ‘he result of this plan, a3 we un- derstand it, would be to make Chicago the traffic ‘center of Amor! d to place Chicago in direct coinpetition Thanksgivin ‘| : for the val 1621 ‘ RAILBOARDS WADOO PLAN ¢| grain it appeared to u: fi of America | with the Twin Cities for aorthwestern. jtrade and with Kansas City for south- j western business. The scheme would advance short haul rates 10 an, almost exorbitant figure and would) decrease long haul rates in sucn au way .as. to centralize business in a few .of the large zone centers. The plan would hit every’small distributing point .with- in a radius of 1,000 miles of Chicago and similar zone centers.” One of the most important acts ‘of the convention was the selection of a committee of three to impress upon Director General McAdoo the import- ance of constructing adoqnate terminal elevator facilities on .the seaboard. “The lack of terminal elevators st At- lantic coast points is now one of the first causes of car congestion.” said Mr. Bleick. “Long strings cf cars | must stand on the sidings there await: ing a chance to unload direct ture i ships because there a no elevators into which the grain can be dumped. | Cars that are badly needed in the west not only for grain but for other /tratYie }are held up in this ’, dnd with such a large export business as we do in very short- sighted policy whic to provide ample storage capacity at the sea- board.” NAME DELEGATES, * Noy. 26.—The Italian gov- ernment has chosen the delegates who will go to paris to assist in the re- fception of President Wilson.

The governor's office advises that on Thanksgiving day, a year ago, he made ‘himself solid with the North Dakota boys then in New York await- fing embarkation by entertaining @ large number of them with a great turkey feed in his fine New York honié. It is largely because of. this hospitality, it is stated, as well as for the reason that a New Yorker was preferred by the Fifths Avenue asso: ciation to head the commitiee, that Attorney Dunn has been appointed to arrange a welcome for our boys on their return.
