The new rates would generally increase the cost of shipping cream between points in North Dakota and from North Dakota to Minnesota, South Da-/ kota and Montana as well as ship- ments from those states to points in North Dakota. The rates on North Dakota intra- state traffie were suspended by the state railroad board which also ap- , plied for an order by the Interstate -omatree” Commission spending the interstate rates, | The petition was granted and evi- dence was presented earing held in Minneapolis late in April. At that time ix was shown that the proposed increase would boost the cost of :shipping cream ‘n some instances as much as 25 cents a 10-gallon can. The average increase would be about 15 cents a 10-gallon can, according to ¢x- hibits prepared by the state board. Hearing in the intrastate rates has not yet been held but will be sched- uled for Bismarck eatly in the fall. Pending the decision in each case no changes will be made in the inter- state on intrastate rates Mo ue and cream, Hendricks sai ‘COMMITTEE OF : 22 CALLED T0 MEET JULY 20 =Farn Organization Represen-| tatives Summoned to Meet One Day Previous Des Moines, July 12—(AP)—Plans = for a renewal of the fight for farm relief legislation are to be laid at a meeting here July 20 of the commit- tee of 22, which waged an unsuccess- ful campaign before the last congress for an agricultural aid act embody- ing a farm products export board and an equalizing fund to facilitate for- cign marketing of agricultural sur- Tops.

E, Bjorlie, state high school in- spector, advocated at the meeting of the Morton County school officers Friday. He stressed the importance of a de- preciation fund for every school throughout the state and cites the Barnes county courthouse at Valley City as an example of the value of such a fund. The Barnes county courthouse is a $377,000 structure which was built entirely from a de- preciation fund previously set aside, Mr. Bjorlic’s main theme was the advancement of an economic program with elimination of all waste. He advocated the use of a budget sys- tem for all schools. Miss Minnie J. Nielson, state su- perintendent of public instruction made a vigorous attack on the school transportation law now in effect. She explained that under the present law there are two seifirate rate laws and separate mileage laws for rural and consolidated sehor For general welfare of students and hetter man agement of schools, Miss Nielson suid, the same rate law should be used for both.

Senator Edge thinks that peace time storage of explosives near cénters of popula- tion is an “outrageous and criminal practice.” On the other hand Governor Moore says he has no desire to criticize the federal government.

State income taxes to be paid this year by North Dakota citizens will mate by the state tax commissioner's office shows.

Since farmers’ elevators and certain other ‘busine: corporations make their income tax returns on the basis of the fiseal year ending June 30, it is considered possible that another $100,000 may be listed for collection before the a8 of the year.
