Wheat The Big Item Another exhibit showed ‘that wheat constitutes by far the largest amount of tonnage developed by Tailronds in North Dakota, He showed 6,811 cars of wheat, or 2,754,953 tons of wheat, originated in North Dakota in 1922 and this constituted 47.36 percent of all freight originated in the state during the year, Sixteen classes of agricultural products produced 72.13 percent of all the traffic originating in the state, this including flour manufactured, and an _additional 4 percent was listed under animals and products. Eighteen percent of the traffic originating in the state is lignite coal, while manufactured goods comprised a little less than 2 peycent of the total traffic. Wheat, he showed, averaged 40,448 tons to the carload while all other commo- dities averaged 33,627 tons. Another exhibit was intended to show that traffic is handled cheaper in North Dakota than in other es. Taking the Northern Pacific as an example, he" said it could move 82.9 tons of freight and 6% passengers for, $1 operating expense outside of No) Dpkata,, while in North Dakota it could moveg90.6 tons of freight and séven phssengets for $1 operating expense, His exhibit showed $7.38 capital was employed in such move- ment outside of forth Dakota to $5.93 in Nopth! Ddkdta. Coming ¢6 tha, question“of profit of railroads operathtg in ‘North Dakota, however, it was shown in an exh that the carriers, according to their reports from which the exhibits were made; did not earn the 5% per cent, return contemplated by the In- terstate Commerce Commission. The Northern Pacifie failed by 21.6 cents on each $1 spent for operating penses required to make the $1.54 return on its system in general, while in North Dakota in like ratio it fail- ed by 12.5 cents per $1 to make the $1.49 required to yield the 5% per cent on capital employed. If the railroads, on the basis of their figures, made the 5% percent return, and the money was derived from increased freight rates, the per- centage increase of freight revenue would be 21.89 percent for the entire system and 12,89 percent for North Dakota. The exhibits showed, it was ex- plained, that greater return was made on the capital employed in North Da- kota than in the system in general, but that in both cases the revenue was deficient, Not Making Too Much “This is submitted purely for in- formation,” Mr. Smart said, “and on the basis of the reports shows that :f there is any adjustment in grain rates in North Dakota it will be not because the carriers are making too niuch money but because of discrim- ination.” “Coming to the question of dis- crimination the witness displayed a prepared exhibit showing rates from various points within the state as compared to rates in neighboring states and inter-state rates, The intra-state rate in North Da- kota on wheat for a 400 mile haul is 29 cents, in Minnesota it is 17 cents and the rate indicated by the Inter- state Commerce Commission is 26% cents, Mr. Smart said. He compared. this to rates from Minneapolis to Steele, on the Northern ~Paci Church’s Ferry on the Great Nort! ern and Hague on the Soo lines, all from 880 to 395 miles. The rate to Steele, he said, was 23% cents; Church’s Ferry, 19% cents and Ha- gue 25% cents, the rate in each case being considerably higher than the rate for a similar distance wholly within Minnesota, and less than the North Dakota Mtra-state rate. Within the state, he said, rates on the Milwaukee line were between state points than east of the Sart 2 SSALESMAN $AM ewes aig ge eee ‘And She Wanted Quiet REST MY N AVE.

Another exhibit compared rates be- tween several North Dakota” points and) Minngapolis, on flour {and on wheat, the rates showing higher pro- portionate rates between the North Dakota points. The intra-state rate on 100 pounds of wheat or flour from Minot to Minneapolis is 281% cents and from not to Grand Forks 22% cents, he said. “In milling, therefore,” said Mr. in shipping wheat from Minot to Grand Forks and flour back to Minot, while it is 206 miles from Minot to Grand Forks and 465 miles from Minot to Minnéupolis, indicating that Grand Forks appedts not to receive the advantage of its location as com- pared to Minneapolis.” Rates From Mott From Mott, Hettinger county, to Minneapolis the rate was shown to be 28 cents, distance 567 miles; while| from Mott to Grand Forks the rate was 29 cents, the distance but 404 miles. A railroad representative in- terposed that the shipment to Minn- eapolis would be over one line while to Grand Forks it would be over two lines, From Bismarck to Minneapolis, 435 miles, the rate shown was 2% cents; from Bismarck to Fargo, 21 cents, distance 194.2 miles; from Bis- marck to Grand Forks, 30 cents, dis- tance 272 mile The exhibits, showing the rates to the border-line cities of eastern North Dakota as compared to ship- ments to Minneapolis was intended to show a discrimination in favor of Minneapolis in wheat and flour shipments, During the discussion, Mr. Smart said that the western railroads made a fairly good financial showihg for the first five months of 1922, while lately there has been a falling off in business, but that an exceptionally heavy grain movement was anticipat- ed, On questioning by a representa- tive of the carriers, Mr. Smart said the reports of the Interstate Com- merce Commission showed the east- ern and southern roads were doing better than the northwestern roads, and thatthe northwestern roads show a return of but a little over 4 per- cent on investment during the first five months of 1922.

John Thorpe, first assistant attor- ney-general, is representing the state, YOUNG WOULD (Continued from Page One) upon wheat out of business unless relief is furnished, “During the last session of Con- gress wheat farmers of the west asked for a specific guaranty for wheat. This was dented by Congress, chiefly because eastern and south- ern farmers were opposed to it, be- lieving it to be economically | un- sound. When two farmers say “No” to every farmer who makes a re- quest for a guaranteed price it is natural for Congress to take no ac- tion.. Many farmers in the hard wheat belt are now convinced thnt the Proposal to Congress should be modi- fied in ‘such a way that it will se- cure the approval ef Congress and bring great relief to them and other States. Endorses Proposal “The proposal made by Albert B. DeNault, Jamestown, to the Reso- lutions Committee at the Chicago Wheat Conference in behalf of our delegation from North Dakota has been ‘taken up by the Valley City Rotary Club, which has become very active in securing the cooperation of other Rotary Clubs and other organizations with the idea of giving the proposal wide publicity and giv- ing active assistance in getting a large number of people of the country, particularly in the west, back of it. It is the belief of the Valley City Rotary Club that the Proposal is absoluzely sound from the economic standpoint, that it is entirely workable, that it will with Proper cooperation put the growing of wheat upon a paying basis, and that Congress can be induced to Grain and Shipping line in the north- creased and flour production dec ed.

Then the ‘balance, amounting to about. 600,000,000 bushels used in the United ‘Btates, should be sold for not less than the world Icvel plus 30c, the’ amount ofthe tariff duty on wheat, This would add $180,000,000 to the. in- come of wheat farmers. Way Business Does i _ “This is the way the big “indus- | trial concerns handle their products. They either have no surplus or their surplus is sold abroad for what it will bring, and in such a way as not Smart, “Grand Forks would have but| to influence their sales in the United 2 cents advantage over Minneapolis | States, ‘That policy is considered by them as sound business. What we want is sound business policy in the handling of our wheat. “The saving of $180,000,000 can be effected without making any spec‘al appeal to farmers for their coopera- tion, that is to say it is not dependent upon their cooperation. It is belicv- ed, that with the prestige of a big Government wheat handlin\ corpor- ation the leadership can be such as fo bring about the cooperation of farmers in reducing their acreage in such a way to wipe out the wheat surplus in our country. With the great surplus of the United States subtracted from the world surplus, wheat prices would undoubtedly go up. In fact in many years the sub- traction of the U.S. wheat sur- plus would turn the world surplus into a shortage, In fact if the United States ‘had no wheat to export this years it is believed there would be a world shortage. “The addition of 30c per bushel on account of taking the benefit of the tariff just referred to, plus the increase in the world level of prices by *reason of bh reduced apreagd should be worth at least 60¢ per bushel to every farmer, and would give to him the cost of production plus a modest pros “It is to the interest of wheat farmers that the United States Grain Corporation be revived. It is also to the interest of millers, all kinds of industrial concerns, and even to the consumets of the nation, because after all their greatest interest: is ‘in cort¥inued and general activity along all business lines throughout the nation, and which cannot con- nue if the purchasing power of wheat farmers is struck down, “The amount of capital asked from the Government happens to be the amount which the Government made from handling wheat during the war.
