STATE RESISTS AN INCREASE IN EXPRESS RATES ' Brief is Sent to Interstate Com-| merce Commission at Washington t | The State of North Dakota's briet | opposing an increase in intrastate ex- | press rates ‘by order of the Interstate} ;Commerce Commission was today] forwarded to Washington from the of. fice of Attorney-General Sveinbjorn | Johnson. The case, which has been in dispute for several months, was heard by an examiner for the com- merce commission in Bismarck. The} state was granted an extension of} time in filing its brief because wf the change in st&te administration. The state railroad commission had granted an increase of 12 1-2 per cent | in intrastate express rat but de- nied a further increase of 13 1-2 per cent. LY The state questions the jurisdiction ate Commerce Commis. rates. tate expres “We maintain that no undue burden has been shown to exist. against in- terstate commerce,” the attorney-gen- eral contends, “that the difference be- tween intrastate and interstate rates aml charges are no greater generally than obtains by reason of thé block | division of localities and that such dif. ference is incidental to the lesser cost of joperation in North Dakota where the service of the express company provides pickup and delivery in but 28 out of 548 agencies, as compared to the greater cost in other states whero] expensive autos maintained and operated in the pickup and delivery servico, “We maintain that if actual undue discrimination’ between localities or pergons should be found, that particu- lar situation should be cured without burdening the interior distributor: within the state with rates 13 1-2 cent higher, which are claimed by us to be unreasonable and were so found by the North Dakota Commission af- ter investigation and hearing. We fur ther maintain that proper superv should reduce materially the amouni of loss and damage claim payments, that consideration should be given to the high rates of depreciation charged off against equipment, and that pro: per action along these lines will en- tirely joffset the increase in pay un- derlying this proceeding, and prove to this commission that the present rates in North Dakota are entirely rgasonable per se.” ‘ARGO CASE ARE ARGUED IN SUPREME COURT Two Fargo cases were argued in the *supreme court yesterday after- noon, at the opening of the December term. The first was that of the Dakota Trust Company against the Soo rail- road, in which the railroad appealed from ‘a judgment granted in district court in Cass county of $7,500 for the death of Mary Cure, killed in an au- tomobile accident three miles south of Detroit, Minn} Jan, 22, 1920! Four companion cases are pending, in which judgments were obtained “by persons injured in the automobile ac- cident, when the machine was struck by a Soo line train. The second case was that of Inga Anderson against the city of Fargo. | In this case the plaintiff sought $25,- 000 damages for the death of her son, fatally hurt while playing on a public playground. The city’s demurrer was | sustained in district court, it being held there was no cause of action, and the plaintiff appealed. Taylor Crum appeared for the appellant and W. H.
