ROW ALL OVER
% CENTS FOR
FARGO s CAIN

Ninety-fivc cents was the exact
amount in january of the diSrrimln0-
tion against Paramount and in favor
Of Fargo, which brought into being
notorious Senate Bill II and occupied
so much time in the fifteenth assembly.
This fact was uncarthcd today by
the state railway commission. which
has been conducting Il careful inveSti-
CATION to determine just how badly
Paramount is being treated. The only
and one thing which was urged as an
excuse for the passage of Senate Bill
II was the fact that the Standard Oil
company in Fargo was enjoying better
rates to certain competitive points than
the independent Oil company of Fair
mount. These points were located on
the 500 Line. Exact figures procured
from the 500 Line prove that in jan
uary this discrimination in the matter
Of oil shipments to competitive 500
points amounted to the large sum of
% cents. in favor of the Gate City.
And Fargo is no longer to have 50
cents per month the better of Fair
mount on its oil business. for the mo-
ment the railway commission learned
that even minute bit of discrimina-
ton existed it directed the railway COM
panieS to stop it, and this was done
without delay. a new tariff going into
effect March T.. which made the rates
from the two points to 500 Line ter
ritory exactly the same in every i'll
stance.

appeared before the senate committee
i'll the interests of Senate Bill II, he
stated that Fairmount's rates were
higher than Fargo's and that there was
no law then on the statute books to
correct that condition. Rate Expert
Little assured the committee that not
only did the railway commission have
power under present laws to correct
such conditions, but that the passage of
II would weaken these laws and make
discrimination possible.
Senate Bill II. passed against the
best advice of the railway commission,
terday the commission received from
Mr.. Lindquist of Paramount letter
thanking the board for the establish
ment of new oil rates from Paramount
And these new rates were ordered in
by the commission under the laws exist
ing at the time when Mr.. Lindquist
solemnly assured the senate commit
tee that there was no remedy under

which he complained.
