RAILROAD BODY TAKES STEPS T0 REGAIN CONTROL; ‘Will Ask I. C. C.'to.Vacate Order, Restoring Rate - Making Power of N. D. Body pay HELD MOST EFFICIENT tod Commission Also Plans to Inter- yene in Rate Cases Start- ‘ed by Cities Steps to regain control over intra- state freight rates and traffic have been decided upon by the state rajl- road commission and a tentative order of procedure drawn, it was said today by Chairman Frank Milhollan. The action js regarded as an import- ant move in the fight developing to remove alleged discriminations exist- ing in freight rates within the state, and on intrastate rates as congpared to other states. % Under the proposed plan of: the commission it will ask the Interstate Commerce Commission to rescind its order against the North Dakota com- mission whiqh demied increases in railroad rates in intrastate business ‘comparable to increase in interstate yates ordered by the board and which will renfove the cause for the restrain-y ing order jssued by the United States District Court which prevents the railroad commission from assuming jurisdiction in intrastate rates. The jstate comanission will vacate its or- der of Dec. 14, 1920, denying the in- creases. The method is considered the most effective for the commyssion to at- tempt to iron out the. disparities that ‘are said, to, exist in freight rates, in view of the recent material reduc- tions in intrastate rates, it was said by..members of the commission. As the situation now is, according to Chairman Milhollan, the commfssion is restrained from doing practically anything with railroad rates. Most other states have taken the action penses here, he: said. The Criers were shown through the various offices of the company. «Spencer Boise took office as presi- dent of the club.

Summer rates are in effect, proposed by the state commission, it was said. ‘The commission will intervene for the . petitioners in the Fargo and Jamestown and other rate cases start- ed by commercial bodies of cities, it was stated by commissioners. The Fargo rate case was charac- terized by Traffic Expert Smart as the greatest step that has been taken to remove discriminatory rates, and an action that will ultimately benefit all of the state, if successful. TI Fargo case, he said, will be a test case, and if the principle fought for Dy the Fargo Commercial club is sus- tained it will open the way for fur- ther actions. The Texas railroad commission has tentered into an investigation of lig- nite freight rates in that state accord- ing to word received by the Worth kota comntission. North Dakota and Texas are,the only two states hav- jng extensive deposits of lignite. The North Dakota commission, it was said, will keep in close touch with the Texas ‘commission because the rate levels on lignite in both states were established by the United States Rajlway ‘Administration in 1918, The North Dakota a making a study of lignite shippng, the object being to determine it rates can be adjusted so as to remove dis- crimination alleged to exist between the mines due to location, and to de- velop long haul traffic.in this com- modity.

It’s best to say “SHINOLA” HE Standard Oil Company (Indiana) : stands squarely on the principle that ~ the man who better citizen as well saves and invests is a as a happier and more useful employee than the one who lives “from hand to mouth” and spends his in- come as fast as he earns it. To promote the habi it of saving, and to in- sure that feeling of security in the future, which frees a man’s mind from worry, enabling him to give all his energy to cre- ative activities, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) a year ago put into effect, for its employees, a stock investment plan. Under this plan an employee may save. as much as 20 percent of his yearly wage. To every dollar thus saved the Company adds 50c, This money is invested in stock of the Company as fast as sufficient money ac- cumulates to buy one share; for instance, if a man or woman saves $560.00 a year the Company adds thereto one-half of that amount, or $280.00, which will buy 10 shares at the established price for 1922. Whether or not he takes advantage of this plan is optional with the employee. The fact, however, that the majority of the employees who have been with the Com- pany one year, or more, have availed them- selves of the opportunity is convincing evidence that the plan meets a definite need. Since the plan went been apparent that into operation it has the employees take a greater interest, not only in the work which engages their attention, but what is more important, ders the public. the service the Company ren- This is not surprising, fora man with money invested has astronger interest in a business, _ and a keener appreciation of his value to the community than a man who never has as- _ sumed this responsibii lity. Therefore, this stock investment plan for employees of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). is an important factor in continu- ally improving. the service rendered the public by the Company. It is but another evidence of the care and forethoyght exercised by the management in its. endeavor to perfect an organization which shall render to the public amaximum of sustained service. y Standard Oil Company 910 S.
