} j PAGES 7 DON’T MISS THIS SALEIT MEANS A SAVING OF DOLLARS FOR YOU NORTH DAKOTA PACINGGRAVE PROBLEM TODAY Proposed Zoning System of Freight Rates Would Hit State Hard Blow. PROTESTS WILL BE MADE Director General McAdoo Will) Be Told of Unfairness i of His Plan. “The most serious problem North | Dakota ever has had to fuce is the new zoning system of freight rates pro- posed by Director General McAdoo,” said G. N. Keniston, secretary of the Bismarck Commercial club, today. ‘If rates are es! -| kota’s jobbing business will be wiped out, and the blow will not fall upon the cities alone but will affect the Equity, the Farmers’ union and other cooper- ative organiations and the \ in duals. It is something which vi- tally affects every citizen of North | Dakota, and it is an injustice which we must all join in combatting. | “The interstate commerce commis- sion has proposed this change in rates as a means of. decentraliing traffic to relieve congestion in the large centers und ‘secure a better car distribution, "The effect of the plan will be exactly the reverse.2-Hondreds of small job- hing centers will le wiped -out;and alt of: this business will be: centralized at) avfew large points., Instead: of reliev- ing conditions: now complained .of. the | new system would serve to further a _Afrivate them. These facts must be im- pressed upon the Interstate commerce commission and Mr. McAdoo.” With the aid of statistics compiled by James A. Little, rate expert of the North Dakota railway commiss fraftle committee of the I al club is. planning ther: North Dakota: cities protest in which willbe cited objections which cannot. be vexpluined While South D; braska, eastern ‘Te southern Missouri ar . in the 100 per cent zone, all of ‘states have favorable commodity rates which will serve to neutralize the unfavorable class rat North Das kota is not so fortunately situated. Its commodity rates have been neglected for years, and if the new plan is in- augurated, placing North Dakota in the 100 per cent zone, Twin City and Chicago wholesale hov can ship in carload Jots into any North Dake territory more cheaply than our job- bers can bring in merchandise inc: load lots and redistribute it in less than carload lots. Secretary Keniston is in correspond- ence with the Equity and Farmers’ union, both of which will hold their state meetings here in January as| guests of the Bismarck Commercial | club, and it is probable that the new freight rates will be given careful con- sideration at the annual conventions | of these cooperative organizations. RED TRAIL TO — BE REALIGNED Highway to Be Straightened and Shortened to Coast. Secretary George N. Keniston of the Bismarck Commercial club, as vice president for North Dakota of the Na- tional Parks Highway association. has been invited to attend the annual di- rectors’ meeting to be held at Spo- kane on January 4. He will not be able to attend, but he expects to re- ceive a full report of the proceedings. Attention at this meeting will be given the necessity of remarking and realign- ing the Red trail, eliminating unneces- sary detours, straightening and shor ening the highway and removing pres- ent obstacles from the path of an im- mense_ tourist travel which is antici pated in 1919.° Steel markers, 10 by 14 inches, will be purchased through funds subscribed by cities along the route, and every cross-road, turn and danger spot will be tagged. The Bis- marck Commercial club is a contribu-} tor to this fund.
