RAILWAY COMMISSION MEETING At
JAMESTOWN WILL Be IMPORTANT
Numerous Subjects Come up for Consideration at That
Observation-Disclosures Problem Proves a Tartar
Several Recommendations for Law Changes.

jamestown. N. D., Oct. 3o.-Secre-
tary Gushing Of the state railroad and
warehouse commission who spent a
day in the city. states that many COM
plants have been received regarding
discrimination in the purchase of
grain by elevators. The complaints
from Pembina to Beach. The COM
plants before the commission are
made by both the line elevator COM
.panies against the farmers elevator
companies. and by the farmers COM
panies against the line companies, the
! bulk of the complaints being OF the
F: latter kind. The railroad commission
, is trying in good faith to enforce the
law. and the meeting at the city hall.
mp the complaint from Eldridge
promises to be well attended and may
last several days. A good deal of
testimony will be taken. Watson &
Young of Fargo and a firm Of Minne-
apolis attorneys will represent the line
elevator companies. n Attorney
General Miller will appear for the
state and the railroad commission.
In the matter Of other complaints
present, and 1t Is possible that other
cases will also be taken up at the
November meeting. The railroad
commission will act as judges in the
hearing.
The rapid development Of the state
and the extension Of new lines of rail-
road with the attending increase in
elevators and other lines Of business,
keeps the state railroad commission
before the commission will find all
its time taken up with the work and
the probability Of being forced to re-
side at the state capital all the time.
along with other state officers.
Several amendments to the laws
are found to be necessary. In one
case the law requires railroad COM
panies to put in an agent and a de-
pot at places where the receipts
It is declared. should be left to the
discretion of the commissioners. as
in some places in the. state where
the receipts are over $4,000 the
commission has no option except to
order the erection Of a depot and
putting in an agent when there is
nothing at the point except al ele-
vator or two. In case IL rail-
road company was compelled to put
there was no place for the man to
find anything to eat. In other cases
where the receipts are less than $12,-
900 there IL urgent necessity for an
agent and station, and yet the COM
mlssion cannot order them furnish
ed under the law.
Another amendment that is de-
sired in the laws is in regard to the
physical connection Of telephone COM
pantes. Both corporations and the
people Of the state. it Is declared,
would benefit by the adoption Of
lie utility law.
Another feature in connection with
the railroad commission is the term
Of once which each member holds.

The constitution should be amended
SO that n OF more members Of the
old board would have their terms ex-
tended to serve on the new board.
At present all members are retired
at time, and II not reelected, new
members have to learn the ropes. The
benefit Of one or more members of
the commission with a knowledge Of
the duties Of the Office is invaluable,
the same as in practically all the
boards which have the transaction Of
public business to attend to.
The present board Of railroad COM
m%issioners are in Washington. D. c.,
attending a national convention Of
railroad commissioners, and also a
hearing Of the interstate commerce
commission on excess baggage rates.
A hearing on the same subject has
been called by the North Dakota
commission, but was postponed to
await the action Of the interstate
commerce commission. The matter
has been brought up by travelling men
Dakota travelling men pay a third
more for xcess baggage than is paid
by travelling men in surrounding
states.
Another matter for the commits
sion to take up soon will be the in.
terstate freight rates. which ques-
ton has been raised by the Fargo
Commercial club. The matter Of
interstate express rates 10 also be-
and a comparison Of the rates at I'VE
different points in the state, includ-
ing jamestown, Is being made by an
expert, for data to use at a meeting
with the railroad people in the near
future.

WAR OVER PHONE POLES.

Kenmare, N. D., Oct. 3O.-There is
a war on between the city council and
the telephone management over the
removal Of the telephone poles from
the main business street. Kenmare
recently installed a white way and the
poles prevent the full effect Of the
light. For two or three months the
matter has been in controversy and
finally the council instructed the city
attorney to bring action to compel
the removal OF the poles. An effort
will be made to have them declared
public nuisances. The new white way
renders the city much more attrac-
tive. It al all paid for when the
lights were turned on. the, business

than they are with extensions of their
own activities for the service of the
people. Neither is content to find out
the job it can do best and to do it. 1t
is trying to prevent the other from
doing job that it might do.
Where so much is to be done, waste
that comes from antagonism and du-
plication is criminal. The average
State college of agriculture can rem
der its best service through research
and inquiry into the needs of it's COM
munity, through the successful opera
ton of short courses, and above all,
through aggressive and active service
to the adult farming population. 1t
is of the greatest urgency that all
the agricultural agencies Of the ma
ton shall put their heads together and
coordinate their activities. Unques-
tionably in the past there has been
much useless duplication of effort, no
little waste of money and energy, and
no inconsiderable amount of hostility
and friction.
One of the most gratifying develop
ments of recent years has been the
clear recognition of the evils growing
out Of lack of systematic planning
and coordination of effort and the
State colleges of agriculture, the
federal department, and congress are
determined to eliminate them.
