Fargo Objects to Certain Changes in Freight Rates which Intervening petitions have been filed by the Fargo Commercial club in two of the most important rate cases now before the state railroad board, it was announced at the board’s offices today. One petition objects to the estab- lishment of grain and seed rates to and from Grand Forks on a differ- ent basis than rate to and from Far- go. It represents a counter move in the application of the ‘State mill and elevator and the Grand Forks grain exchange to reduce rates from and to that city. The second petition of the Fargo club opposes the application Jamestown interests for a revision of rates on the Soo line which it is claimed are discriminatory in favor ot Fargo. The Fargo petition asks that the existing special rates from Fargo to points on vie Soo line be retained.

Acrage of corn has nearly doubled in North Dakota since 1920, increasing from 569,000 acres in that year, to 1,056,000 acres in 1925. Meanwhile the state advanced from 30th place to 24th place in the United States. While the potato acrage in 1925 was only slightly larger than in 1920, tively, North Dakota advanced from 3th to Sth place in potato produc- tion. “A careful study of the federal re- port and reports from efficial state sources,” the statemegt concludes, THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE |PROPOSED RATE.

A mass of statistics and numerous exhibits of many pages each will be present- ed by the state railrogd board, work- ing in connection with other inter- ested organizations to prove the point. The effect which the pro- posed increases will have on North Dakota agriculture will be shown by other exhibits and testimony by Rex E, Willard, econom the state agricultural college at F go. The railroad board based its ex- hibits on statistics furnished by the railroads in sworn statements as to their operations in 1924. The carriers asx an increase of one per 100 pounds on grain and products, which comprise rly 70 per cent of the total ton- nage handled by railroads in the state. Had the proposed rates heen in effect in 1924 a total of $959,382 would have been added to the state’s freight bill, the statements show. Special Rates Asked If the spe rates asked by the railroads on wheat, rye and flax shipments are put into effect it will add another $1,058,575. These spe- cial rates were argued at the special ig held recently by the inte: state commerce commission at Farg Increases in other eee pr ducts are not included in the figures. Neither is the additional cost of freight shipments from outside points to places within the state con- sidered. In addition to the f ht rate boosts of agricultural products, the carriers ask an increase of 15 cents a ton on lignite coal, or $150,000 Commoity Products of Agriculture Wheat Corn Oats .

NORTH DAKOTA’S FREIGHT BILL (seveced North Dakota Officials Will Present Evidence at Hearing Which Opens in Kansas City Today—Raises Would /Increase Living Costs based on production of lignite in 1925 which is expected to exceed 1,000,000 tons. On. freight shipped in less than carload lots an increase of approxi- mately 15 per cent is being asked and rates for other classes of commod- ities would be increased five per, cent. . In-shipments of Coal Heaviest Of freight shipped into the state the heaviest volume is coal, the ex- hibits show. This movement totals about 400,000 tons of which 300,000 tons is from the head of the and 200,000 from other points. In addition to these increases a boost of seven and a half cents a ton for sand, gravel and crushed rock i: ed. th yy thot inds of dollars~to the freight bur- len, the exhibits show. The nianner in which these increases will affect commerce and industry, increase road-building costs and the cost of living to every resident of the state will be laid ‘before the Interstate commerce commission at the Kansas City hearing, which is expected to last, a month.
