C., June 5.—(P}—A uniform scale of freight rates on |*t 6040 Winthrop avenue. Grain to apply in the entire western district, as proposed by examiners for the interstate commerce commission, would result in unwarranted increases in Minnesota, North and South Da- kota, and Montana, to eastern ter- minal markets and unwarranted de- creases elsewhere, Frank B. Town- send, director of the Minneapolis Traffic association told the commis- sion today. Mr. Townsend, representing Minne- @polis and the northwest, declared that to Minneapolis very heavy in- czeases would be made in the rate under the proposed readjustment from the most important grain pro- ducing territory and the proposed seale would generally increase the Yates to Chicago. Reductions in West ‘West -bound to the Pacific coast, the application of the scale Proposed by Arthur R. Mackley, and George J. Hall, examiners, under the Hoch- Smith resolution, would generally re- su.t in reductions and to intermediate Points, such as Spokane, very sub- oo reductions would be made, he said. He urged the commission to find: There is no warrant for a general increase in rates on grain from points {n Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota to the terminal mar- kets and that the history of these rates and the economic condition of this territory should be considered. There is no warrant for establish- Ing a uniform scale of rates on grain to apply in the entire western dis- trict. Conditions Vary The conditions vary in’ Minnesota.

Last Time Tonight Wednesday THEATRE Tomorrow and Friday you cant substitute adjectives for engineering When somebody invents a car that will run on super- lative adjectives, the motor- ing millennium will surely be with us. Up to date, however, the efforts to substitute adjectives for engineering have been such dismal failures that the verbally-operated car still eeems a long way off. So until the “hot-air” motor is per- fected, the Chrysler-built De Soto Six will continue to depend on its engineering and leave the adjectives to the other fellow. Because it is typically Chrysler- engineered, De Soto Six SEVEN BODY STYLES has earned the praise of thousands cf owners by its gratifying perform: ance, its handling ease and its low cost of operation and maintenance, In addition to its ability to perform and ‘keep on performing, it is hand- some and comfortable. Chrysler-de- signed brakes give it exceptional safety. Here is a six-cylinder car priced well below $1,000 that inspires real pride of ownership. The purchase of a DeSotoSix isthekindofeconomydie tated by wisdom and not necessity.
