5 MILLION
MORE FOR
This STATE.
Freight Rate Increase would
Mean Tremendous Jump
in the Receipts.
over MILLION ON WHEAT
Railroad Board Figures One
Seasons Production
Hauling Charge Gain.

If the Interstate commerce commits
sion grants the request of the rail-
roads to add fifteen per cent to pre-
vailing freight rates, which the rail-
roads claim is absolutely necessary
since the Adamson law was declared
constitutional by the supreme court, it
will mean that North Dakota will be
forced to add 100000 annually to its
freight bill. -
Figures compiled by the state rail-
road commission show that the m
crease in rates on wheat alone will,
amount to $2.25 per hundred bushels.
Taking DIR. e. f. Ladd's estimate as
to the number of bushels OF wheat
marketed in 1914, 81, 500, 900 bushels,
1t would mean $1,100,250 added to the
freight bill on this one commodity. A
similar computation, based on the
1912 crop, which was 1885. 900 bush
els, would mean an increased freight
charge OF $1.941. $50.
Applying the same averages to i've
stock, merchandise and grains other
than wheat indicates that the esti-
mated grand total increase has not
been placed too high.
No action has yet been taken by the,
state railroad board, but as soon as
more comprehensive figures can be
compiled, q vigorous protest viii be
filed with the Interstate Commerce
commission.

Believing that too. little interest is
given our feathered friends, and that
their usefulness to the nation is not
appreciated, the conservation depart
ment has deemed it advisable to make

probably done more towards creating
an interest in our feathered friends
and pointing out their usefulness: tnan

Definition of Invested Capital
Is Finally Arrived at But
Demands of House Men,
bers Still Remains High.
(By Review Leased Wire.)


WASHINGTON, Sept. %. - Con-
ferees on the war tax bill today
agreed on one of their chief points Of
dispute in considering war excess prof
its taxation-the definition of invested
capital-and then struck serious OBJ
stacle in house demands for drastic tax
increases, which threatened tonight to
result in final disagreement
A Sunday session of the conferees
10 settle minor points was arranged.
Compromise Definition
A compromise definition of invested
capital. said to provide a system Of
allowance for borrowed funds and also
intangible assets was approved by the
conferees.
Want Great Increases
Discussion of exemptions and grad
uated taxes rates, however. developed
the demand of house representatives
for radical increases of the senate
rates and a much greater levy on war
profits. 1t was understood the house
members insist upon adding between
$3.50. 900. 900 and $5O0.OOO,OOO to the
81 .O6O, ,O0O. 900 senate levy.
May Withstand Demands
Senate conferees were reported TO
have expressed fear that higher to-
tai assessment on war excess profits
would impair business, and agreed 10

reporting final disagreement.
House conferees we're understood to
feel that the house membership is
alton of war profits.
