OF THAT BEFORE T° $5,000,000 A YEAR Revised Scale in Northwest Will Become Effective Dec. 3, Larkin Explains New class freight rates, which the Interstate Commerce Commission has ordered to go into effect next Dec. 3, will “completely remove the long ex- isting discrimination against North Dakota,” and will reduce the state's shipping bill by approximately $5,- 000,000, Ben C. Larkin, chairman of the state railroad commission, said londay. Explaining the effect of the new rates, Larkin said the case covers all interstate class rates in the territory between Chicago and the North Da- kota-Montana line, and also between this territory and all points east of Chicago. The general effect of the new rates, he estimated, is an increase of about $17,000,000 a year in Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin and eastern South Dakota while North Dakota will save about $5,000,000. Cites Specific Cases Citing as an example shipments from Chicago to Jamestown. Larkin’ said the present first class rate is $2.16%5 per 100 pounds, whereas the new first class rate is $1.88, or a re- duction of 281% cents per 100 pounds. At Bismarck, the first class rate from Chicago is now $2.43'2, while the new rate will be $2.11, or a reduction of 32% cents. From Chicago to St. Paul the first class rate will be in- creased from 98 cents to $1.26 per 100 pounds. “It has been the policy of the northern lines,” Larkin said, “to charge the full combination over the Twin Cities into North Dakota and the Minnesota state line. the Minnesota rate case in 1907, the OF REAL ESTATE | RAPPED IN TALK; Former Governor Hanna Gives Views on Causes of Heavy Tax Levies Casselton, N.

Hanna, former governor, declared in addressing a county-wide mass meeting here Saturday, called for the purpose of organizing a permanent county taxpayers’ associa-; tion. “It was a serious mistake,” said Hanna, “for the state to change the system of valuations of real estate for taxing purposes. Formerly reai estate was assessed on a basis of 25 per cent of the value of the property. “About 12 or 13 years ago this was changed to the so-called 100-per-cent basis, which in reality is a 75-per- LooVKouT —T HAFTA BE So CAREFUL! you KNow , MA MOH, HOW YOu HATE TO HAVE ME GET RUNNERS IN MY GOOD STAWMINGS, THAT PA PUH HAS To WORK SO HARD Bot 17S LET GO OF IT AND ' GET HOLD OF YOU: YOuR SARCASM MAY BE AIMED AT HER, HITTING | ME IN THE BACH Royal entertainment awaits patrons} cent basis. of a Vienna cabaret.

It was handled under what. is known as the cooperative proce- dure plan, with Fay Harding, mem- ber of the North Dakota commission, one of the cooperating commission- ers, who sat with the I. C. C. at Wash- ington when the case was orally ar- gued. E. M. Hendricks, traffic ex- pert for the North Dakota commis- sion, orally argued the case before the I. C. C, and figured prominently in the fight for reduced rates. The! I. C: C. has ordered the new rates to become effective Dec. 3 after deny- ing requests for reopening the case. Class rates cover all less than car- load freight and many important commodities moving in carload lots, such as agricultural implements and machinery, automobiles, groceries, dairy products, cereal beverages, iron and steel articles, soap and washing Powder, furniture and other articles. In its report, the I. C.
