JOINT RATES
ARE RESTORED

The North Dakota railway COM
mission has won what it considers
an important victory in procuring
the restoration OF joint tariffs from
Fargo to inland points which were
cancelled by the Milwaukee, 500 line
and other railways when the league
rail acts. B. No. ~, establishing
distance tariffs-became effective.
Territory served by these roads has
been compelled to pay a combination
of local rates much higher than the
old joint tariffs, and there has been
much complaint on the operation of
this particular feature OF the league
law.
After considerable correspondence,
the railway commission has obtained
from the railroads its consent to re-
store the old joint tariffs in most
instances. S. b. No. az was enacted
largely because Fairmount objected
to the fact that in some instances the
joint rate via Fairmount from Fargo
to 500 line points was lower than
the straight tariff from Paramount.
Under the new tariff none of these
joint rates is lower than the Fair
mount rate and some are higher, the
territory affected paying the freight.

 In this newspaper for the past sev-
 sral6 months will be withdrawn and those who would send in the names of tkheir soldier friends or boys must find other means of communication. The thing to do is to fiu out these blanks tor as many names as have not beon already submitted and send them in to this office. It requires but 8 little ot any mans time to meet with this request. To leave off even one name from the roll would be an unpardon- able offense. Every man who is now doing his bit with the armed forces bf, Uncle Sam should at least be recog- hiked in this way.
