Proposed rate advances include added tariff on flour, feed and mill products | from the Twin Cities and Duluth to North Dakota destina- tions. Similar increases are proposed in interstate rates be- tween Minnesota points and Minneapolis and Duluth. Roads have applied to the Minnesota railroad commission to in- crease intrastate rates, but there exists small likelihood that rates will be increased during the next month, The North Dakota railroad commission consequently has announced it will fight grain rate boosts on the ground that proposed advances, if allowed to go into effect, would result in a wide disparity of rates as between Minnesota and North Dakota. The state railroad commission has already petitioned the interstate commerce commission to suspend proposed rate advances on grain and flax published by the Soo line and will shortly file a blanket protest on rate increase published later by other northwest roads. An impartial analysis of North Dakota interstate rail rates will reveal that they have always been notably low. The interstate commerce commission has condemned North Dakota rates as being “conspicuously low,” and the | possibility that the federal body will order suspension of proposed rate increases is remote. Reduced rates in this state have been possible in the past for two reasons: 1. Grain tariffs in the eastern section of the state have been held down by low rates prevailing in Minnesota as fixed by the state legislature. 2. Grain rates in northern North Dakota are down be- cause of Canadian competition. Dominion terminal rates are considerably lower than North Dakota schedules. The Canadian Northern, a government road, is maintained by’ subsidy, and the Canadian Pacific must meet competitive , rates or retire from business. At present Dominion rates; are being litigated in the Canadian supreme court. Confronted with the alternative of boosting grain tariffs in North Dakota or slashing grain rates in adjacent states, northwest railroads have determined not to allow their rates to be influenced by Canadian competition. Minnesota state rates have been condemned by the interstate commerce commission as unfavorably low, and the roads feel justified | in ordering a general rate advance for North Dakta. Proposed rates, however, have not been formally justified in public proceedings before the federal commission. If the railroads conclusively show that their grain rates are too low, all sides are agreed they should be advanced. This fact has yet to be demonstrated. If the interstate commerce commission does suspend proposed rate schedules, a determination of the matter can- not be had until after the fall crop has been moved. It is a matter of approximately $1,500,000 to the carriers. Con- sequently they are anxious to get rates in without delay, and will vigorously oppose suspension of the new rates. Under the new grain schedule, North Dakota rates will generally be lower for equal distances than interstate rates prevailing in South Dakota, Kansas, and Nebraska, and lower than the rates the interstate commerce commission has prescribed from South Dakota to terminal markets, and from Minnesota points to Duluth and Milwaukee. The Hoch-Smith resolution, adopted at the last session of Congress, was aimed to reduce rates on ‘agricultural prod- ucts. In view of the financial condition of northwest roads, however, it has become generally recognized that such gen- eral rate cuts cannot be lawfully enforced. NEEDED: UNITY Once again we hear of a move to unite the warring fac- tions in the Democratic party. This is an excellent idea. No one can say that some sort of a reunion isn’t necessary. But are they really going to do it? The scars left by the last convention are deep. Worse, they are symptoms of deep differences of opinion that can not easily be glossed over. The fact is that the Democratic party contains rival sec- tions that can never get together—unless some miracle of harmonizing is accomplished in a way that does not seem probable right now. And remember this—President Coolidge, in 1928, can’t be beaten by a divided party. STRIKES There has been much talk lately of another coal strike. { _ Just which side is “to blame,” if any, isn’t really so im- portant right now. The important thing is to keep the burden of the strike, if one comes, from falling on the shoulders of the innocent ;; bystanders — the people who have to buy coal, meaning al! of us.

They looked up and down the lanes, behind all the trees, in every bush, and under the stones. But no sign of bees or bee-hive could they see. “It doesn't happen to be me you are looking for, does it?” asked a funny-looking creature that was waddling along the road. “Not unless you're a honey-bee,” said Nancy in surprise. id you certainly don’t look like one. “No, I don’t look it and I'm not it,” said the singular creature. “Three guesses and I'll tell you what my name is.” But the Twins couldn't even guess once. “I'm a porcupineapple,” said their new acquaintance. “I used to be a porcupine.

What are you doing in the Land of Wonders?” The Twins told him about the Pixies and how they had run off with the Fairy Queen's honey-bees, and how they had unlocked the door of the secret cupboard only to find themselves, not in a cupboard at all, but in this strange place. “Oh, ho, laughed the porcu- pineapple. “This isn't a strange place. It's just because you are not used to it. If you like I'll take you around in my snail-boat and I'll ex- plain to your entire satisfaction that it is you who are queer.” “What kind of a boat say?” asked Nick. “1 said a snail-boat,” said the por-| cupineapple. “Don't you asked Nancy. did you mean a. sail-boat?” “Nothing of the sort,” said the, other. “Here it is now. Get in, my dears.” Dowh the stream came floating al large snail shell with a snail's horns sticking up for masts. Between the two horns hung a sail. “Get in,” said the porcupineappl to the Twins, si Intelligence is the ability to bel ® person who tells. you cannot sing. ie really he’ had to agree to thirty per tent of the crop. ——— THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE Add Vacation Arrivals | | | | “We can't,” said Nick. “There! no room.” “Oh, he'll move over,” porecupineapple. said the He's pretty impor- tant, being captain, bos'n and mate, so being three people he spreads him- self out.

But it must also be remembered our traditional policy regarding China has always been the exact re- verse of our traditional policy re- garding Europe. $ Until 1918, it was our tradition that what happened across the At- lantic did not concern ps. Some of our senators are so tradition-minded that they think that is still our pol- icy. But our tradition has always been what happened across the Pa- cifie did concern us acutely, even when the only harm threatened was to China. The independence of China; its equal treatment by and to ail na- tions, and the prevention of any dis- pute whose natural outcome would be domination or for the winner—these not merely Chinese, but policies. Unless we are to reverse our tra- ditional policy across the Pacific, what is happening in China now is decidedly our concern. WHY ARIZONA REPORT SEEMS AT FAULT Arizona has got into the news by claims of discoveries which seem to the amateur finders or reporters to indicate that man existed in the age American secret of long life, enjoyed self’ and valued by one's friends, is moderation, temperance and contentment. By’ this’ is meant moderation in contrast to the nervous life that never takes time to: live; temperance in | contrast to, feasting, drinking, and sacrifice of sleep for the s0- called social pleasures, and conten’ ment in contrast , to pessimistic philosophy that sees nothing but evil in life. Many who think they have chronic and perhaps incurable stomach trou- ble, find the trouble to vanish when the diet is simplified. It is true that some persons who indulge in all the physical and is a mere tradition, from the days when it really was a horror. Events in China Do Concern Us ; Senator Borah is quite right in saying that there is nothing in the Chinese situation to justify a departure from of the dinosaurs, millions of years before any other creature even re- motely resembling man lived, and long before either the vegetable or animal foods or the climatic condi- tions adapted to human life were developed. If man lived with the dinosaurs, he lived wher there was no other crea- ture.on earth that suckled its young: when: there was no mammal as high as the opossum; when the trees did not bear fruit nor the earth yield grass and grains; when the most primitive forms of what later became birds were just beginning, and when there was no other creature on earth as intelligent as a modern crocodile. He has lived unchanged through ages during which every other form of life then extant became extinct and was succeeded by forms almost unrecognizably diffebent. During all those ages, he is the onty form of life that never improved and never learned anything. ’ While the intelligence of the world has improved from that of the frog to that of the dog and chim- panzee, his intelligence has remained stagnant, perfect and unimprovable from the beginning, but, somehow, never used. From all of which it is likely that these Arizona amateurs need the aid of a trained observer. FABLES ON HEALTH USE MODERATION, ALWAY: | mental vices, live to an advanced age, but if they would take better care of themselves they probably would live longer. Moderation should be observed in alcohol, coffee, tea, tobacco, and drugs. Moderation also should be ob- scrved in physical exercises. But few athletes live to be 80 years old. Once an athlete one can not afford to adopt an inactive life, lest he go stale. In middle life one should have ex- ercise. But this exercise should not be violent exercise.
