OTHER CITIES HIT BY FARGO RATERULING, Decree Will Cost Bismarck Shippers and Jobbers Thousands of Dollars Alleged discriminatory rate-fixing by the interestate cemmerce commi: sion, in a recent decree of the federal body growing out of the Fargo rate case, will cost: jobbers and shippers arck, Mandan, and Dickinson, thousands of dollars annually in rate costs, E. M. Hendricks, rate expert on the staff of the North Dakota rail road commission, declared today Sweeping reductions on fifth class freight hauls from the Twin (¢ to Jamestown and Valley City, +5 announced by the federal commission, will work hardship on local shippers operating in competition with James- town and Valley City firms. 4t an informal conference between representatives of the carriers and members of the North Dakota rail- road commission, held last week in St. Paul, railroad officials declined voluntarily to extend the Valley City and Jamestown rates west to apply generally throughout the state. The interstate commerce commis- sion’s ruling reduced rates on fifth class freight from 62 cents to 45 cents per cwt., amounting to an aver- age reduction of $28 per car. Although the railroad commission has filed a complaint with the fed- eral body, hearings in the rate cases will not be held until 1926, Hendricks stated.

EXCESS TAX CASE BEFORE HIGH COURT Validity of Law Will Determined in Decision Expected in Ten Days Be Validity of the 1923 corporate ex- cess tax law will be determined in a decision of the state supreme court expected within the next ten days following conclusion of hearings in the appeal case testing the dec! of the Burleigh county court which held that moneys and credits must be deducted in computing corpora- tion tax levy under the 1923 statute. Hearings in the appeal case closed yesterday. T. H. H. Thoresen, tax commission- er of North Dakota, presented argu- ments to show that the corporate ex- cess tax is a property levy and not a franchise tax. ff the high court sustains the case of Commissioner Thoresen, the question of constitu- tionality will he up for consideration, counsel for the Gamble-Robinson Fruit company, Bismarck, plaintiff, indicated in arguments yesterday. Should the supreme court reverse the decision of Judge Fred Janson- ius, to the effect that moneys and credits are deductible in assessing the corporate excess tax, upwards of $100,000 in taxes would be owing to the state from domestic corporations. Because of the vital importance of the test case, the high court may render its decision in ten days. BISMARCK BOYS WIN HONORS AT : SUMMER CAMP J. J.

(dali of moral support today President Coolidge, who coupled his promise with a warn- ing that on no ,other terms could America be expected contribute further to the finan- clal revival of the Old World. “If the people of the Old World are mutually distrustful of each other,” he said in an ad- dress delivered here, “let them enter into mutual covenants for their mutual security. “While our own country should refrain from making political commitments where it does not have political interests, such covenants would always have the moral support of our gov- ernment, and could not fail to have the commendation of the public opinion of the world. “On what other basis can there be any encouragement for a disposition to attempt to finance a revival of Europe?” The President was speaking at a celebration marking the 150th an niversary of the day George Wash- ington took command of the Con- tinental Army, and nearly the whole address had been devoted to a review of the public services of the Father of His Country. His reference to the present day problems of Europe came just at the end, and was com- pressed into a few studiously-chosen words which made no specific refe: ence to details of the security pact proposals recently under considera tion abroad. Cue For Pronouncement A recapitulation of the virtues of Washington provided the cue pronouncement, which was the fi formal statement on the subject be voiced on behalf of the admini tration. After recounting Washing ton’s faith in the principles of de- mocracy and honesty, Mr. Coolidge continued: “The vigor with which he insisted on the prosecution of war was no less than the vigor with which he insisted on the observance of peace. He cherished no resentments, ne harbored no hatreds, he forgave his enemies. He felt the same obliga- tion to execute the terms of a treaty made for the benefit of a former foe that he felt to require the ob- servance of those made for the ben efit of his own country. He realized that peace could be the result only of mutual forbearance and mutual good faith. “He harmonized the divergent and conflicting interests of different na- tionalities and different colonial governments by conference and agreement. He demonstrated by his arguments, and our country has dem- onstrated by experience, that more Progress can be made by cooper: than by conflic! To agree quickly with your adversary always p: American Leadership “The world has not outgrown, it can never outgrow, the absolute ne- cessity for conformity to these eter- nal principles, I want to see Amer- ip among the in the reliance upon the of mankind. I do not see zation can expect perma- nent progress on any other theor: If what is saved in the productive peace of today is to be lost in the destructive war of tomorrow, the people of this earth can look for- ward to nothing but everlasting servitude. There is no justification This was not the con- ception which Washington had of ife. “If the penne of the Old World are mutuall distrustful of each other *let them enter into mutual covenants for their mutual security, and when such covenants have been made let them be solemnly observed, no matter what the sacrifice. They have settled the far more difficult problems of reparations, they are process of funding their debts to us, why can they not agree on per- ica assume a leadersh nations manent terms of peace and fully reestablish international faith and credit? If there be differences which can not be adjusted at the moment, if there be conditions which can not be foreseen, let them be resolved in the future by meth- ods of arbitration and by forms of judicial determination. Have U. 8. Support “While our own country should refrain from making political com- mitments where it dees not have political interests, such covenants would always have the moral sup- port of our government, and could not fail to have the commendation of the public opinion of the world. Such @ course would be sure to en- dow the participating nations with an abundant material and spiritual reward. On what other basis can there be any encouragement for a disposition to attempt to finance a revival of Europe? The world has tried war with force and has utterly failed. The only hope of success lies in peace with justice. No other principle conforms to the teaching of Washington; no other standard is worthy of the spirit of America; no other course makes so much Brame for the regeneration of the orl NO BANANAS THEN Washington.—Dr. W.
