Railroad Commission Refuses
Passenger Service
On Lines
Holds That Il Has Authority
TO Do So, AoWeVer, Il
Necessary
Decides That 10 Territory Al.
feCted Need Is Not
Imperative

The state board of railroad commits
sioners has just made public it's opin.
ion and decision in the taking off OF
the Mott passenger train, and, mas.
much as the position of the commits
sion as related to the law governing
branch lines is of general interest to
the people of the state, the decision
is given in full, as follows:
petition was filed on the Goth day
of October, 1913, by the Northern
Pacific Railway company, pursuadt OF
q rule of this commission, asking per.
mission to discontinue the daily pas
senger train service upon it's line ex-
tending from Mandan to Mott. The
hearing was had on the 18th day OF
November, 1913. and all parties inter.
ested in opposing the removal of the
service had*an 40pport rtnnity
to appear, and make their objections
and the company was represented by
it's officials, and made showing OF
the reasons why the petition should
be granted. The evidence tended
strongly to show that the passenger
train upon this line, as in the case
almost universally upon branch lines,
is at the. present time being oper-
ated at considerable loss by the
railway company. While this fact is
persuasive on the action Of granting
the petition, yet it is not controlling
as the duty of railroad company to
maintain a sufficient and satisfactory
train service upon all of it's lines
within the state, including branch
lines, is not entirely dependent upon
the revenues OF any particular line,
but is dependent upon the needs Of
the territory served. The commits
sion is very 10th to deprive any COM
munity, or any territory of such train
service to which its is entitled by
reason of its location, or by reason Of
it's growth and development, but in
the present case the commission has
felt the petition should be granted
for the present, and that during the
coming winter months the company
should be permitted to discontinue a
daily passenger train between Man.
dan and Mott, and to substitute there
for daily mixed train similar to
the service which was in operation
before the, installation of the passen-
ger service.
"The reciprocal demurrage law,
Chapter 200, Laws of 1907, provides
that whenever it is made to appear
to the board of railroad commission
ers that the business on any line
will not justify the operation of both
passenger and freight trains requir-
ed by the statute, then the board may
permit the operation of a mixed train
for such time as the board may direct.
However, the statute expressly ex-
cepts from its operation branch lines
that may hereafter be constructed.
The object of this statute is to en-
courage the extension of branch lines
by the railroad companies within the
state and not intended to hamper the
extension of new lines into undevel-
oped territory by harsh regulations
requiring the operation of expensive
passenger trains before the business
has been so developed as to require
them. The Mandan to Mott line
comes within this exception, and

of Huerta as provisional president

EXPANSION OF OUR FARMING
Away Completely From Small

when more capital in the form Of en-
ployed labor, fertilizers. farm ma.

tensive intensive tillage can be sue.
cessfully applied to our farming. The
great economic question ia not small
farms or more acres, but the complete
getting away from small yields and
crop failures. Not only more acres
titled, but each acre titled far better.
Any system of crop growing is on q
safer foundation when the bulk of the
field crops are fed to the live stock
and the resulting manure saved and
applied to the fields with as little loss
as possible. Pursuing this course and
buying fertilizers to encourage the
growth Of highly organized truck and
market crops enables US to expand
our farming.
