This opened the grain growers’ at- tack on the rate increases asked by the western railroads. Declaring he was not seeking spe- cial interests for agriculture against the carriers, Gov. Shafer said he was advocating the growers caus? in the rate hearing “in the interests Of economic justice.” ‘Retail Distribution | Is Able to Hold Gain Retail distribution remained at a mean level last week but was able to jhold the gain set down for it during {the month, according to the weekly business report of R.

Benjamin Larkin, president of the | B; North Dakota board of railway com- missioners, said this testimony was designed to show bad crops were re- | sponsible for the grain revenue de-! clines of carriers; that what is needed | is a good crop and not increased rev- enue. i Don't Penalize Grow “Why should the growers.” Larkin; asked, “be penalized by higher rates, on something over which they had no; control?” Examiner Arthur Mackley asked Gov. Shafer if he believed that. inas- much as the carriers have lost traffic to competition in other commodities, the rates should be hiked on what! traffic the carriers still had, such as} grain and grain products. A. B. Enoch, chairman of the car- riers legal counsel, who previously had said the railroads would enter no ob- jection to Gov. Shafer's presentation of evidence on the growers’ economic distress, jumped un in protest of this question. He contended that inas- much as the governor said he was not qualified to discuss rates, this ques- tion was improper. The examiner withdrew the ques- tion. In questioning the governor as to the results of hard times, the subject veered around to banks. “Tt sounds like a ‘dumb question.” Examiner Mack “put I'd like to know for my own self | just why the farmers continued keep- | ing their money in small banks, in the face of continued failures, instead of| gending it to larger banks in large: | towne.” | “nad a fecli bank of hi ed him cr much as pe Sentence Fargo Boys To School at Mandan) neighbor xtend dit in good years and, as} ible, in bad years.” Fargo, May 3.—\4)\—Two peniten-/ tiary sentences, one jail sentence and) one committment to the state train-/ ing school were meted out Monday by Judge M.
