MINIMUM RATE !.
IN n. D. RESTORED
STATE RAILWAY COMM ssIoN
RESTORES OLD FREIGHT
RATE or IS CENTS. -

Bismarck, N. ID. April SO.-The'
state board of railroad commissioners
has ordered restored IN this state the
freight rate in effect prior to Jan. i,
1909. .... ,a.
For many years T7ior to Jan. j. the
freight rates on small shipments of
goods weighing Iess ban 400 pounds
i'm North BalSuta, Svsf srfa Feed for &C
the actual weight; 81 the rate per 100
pounds Of the class to which the goods
belonged and the minimum for each
shipment was 25 cents.
ON Jan. 1, the railroads put new
rate into effect in this state making
the minimum charge on single ship
ments of less than 10J pounds the
same as though the shipment weighed
the full 100 pounds. $. e..
The placing in effect Of the new
rate caused a great deal of dissatfs-
faction among joDbers, merchants and
shippers generally, for the reason that
the carrying charges In many in
stances were more than the first cost
of the goods. Numerous complaints
were filed with the board of railroad
commissioners against the new rate
during the months OF January and
February and the board called pub
lie meeting to be held at Fargo on
March I9 in the commercial club
rooms at which time the question was
discussed by rep .sentatives of the
shippers and the railway companies
of which a stenographic report was
made.
Hearing at Fargo, .,.5#
Since the public hearing at Fargo
on March 10 and without awaiting the
decision OF the board of railroad COM
niissioners the railway company put
into effect new tariff, preserving the
100 pound minimum, by making fiat
third class rate for all commodities.
This rate is in effect in Minnesota but
as the distance tariff is SO much
greater in North Dakota than 1t is in
Minnesota, the basing of the mimi
mum charge on the third class is con-
sidered to be unjust and unfair by
the board and places the shippers and
consumers OF North Dakota at a great
disadvantage as compared TO the
shippers and interests of otheE states.
The question Of minimum freight
charge has been under consideration
by the board of railroad commissioners
ever since the. hearing at Fargo and at
the meeting of the board yesterday a
resolution was adopted refusing to
concur in the third LASS LOO pound
minimum charge and an order is en-
tered directing that the rates in effect
prior to Jan. be restored.

recovery of money paid by corpora
tions. 1t will probably take a good
many months to settle the question of
it's validity once and for all-and the
supreme court of the United States
will undoubtedly have the final word.
1t is this very likelihood that brings
up an interesting question. Nobody
doubts that the corporation tax law
will be attacked on the ground that
it is an income tax within the meaning
of the constitution rather than an ex-
else tax, despite the fact that it is
distinctly labelled the latter. In this
view, consideration of the law may
give the supreme court chance to
pass anew on the income tax question
and perhaps reverse itself.
Secretary MacVeagh is anxious that
the square question of constitutionality
shall be the only one to be aired in
the cOrrts, and not small matters of
administration of the law For this rea-
sno he is proceeding with exceeding
care and caution in the preparation
of the blanks on which the returns
from the various corporations will be
made to the department. He doesn't
want to give the corporations a chance
to find any flaws in these blanks.
