LEAGUE FORCES
SLOPE TO BOOST
PRICE OF COAL
More of the Beneficient Workings
.fof Townley's Scheme to Be
Felt Next Winter
Ignite PROBABLY WILL .
" u GO TO $3.50 AS RESULT

North Dakota consumers will pay
thousands more for Ignite coal next
winter because of the passage by
T0wnley's secret caucus of copy OF
the eastman .(Minnesota) distance
tariff act by the. last legislature, rail
road representatives announced yes
terday afternoon at a conference with
the state railway commission. The
advance on ilignite rates to comply
with this act will be approximately
eight cents ton from mines west of
the river to points in Bismarck ter
ritory, it was stated, and proportion
ately greater to points further east.
Will Hit Many.
The use of native Ignite coal has
became common throughout North Da-
kota, and it has been suggested that
in view of eastern coal shortage and
probable congestion of traffic that the
state must depend almost altogether
on this fuel next winter. There are
a dozen producing mines in the west
ern territory whose output will be af-
fected. Last winter this fuel advanced
in central North Dakota from So to
1926 per ton. The effect of senate bill
No. II probably will be to make this
coal cost the consumer $3.50 next win
ter. This, railroad representatives at
yesterdays conference announced, will
be the only important change result.
ing from the operations of the North
Dakota eastman" act.
Leaves Gravel Alone.
Probably the only present specially
advantageous special rates which will
remain untouched by North Dakota S
adoption of the Minnesota distance
tariff act July / will be the rates on
gravel. Representatives of the North
ern Pacific yesterday advised the rail
way commission that through dis.
tance tariff they hope to retain the
present favorable rate on gravel from
Medina to Bismarck. This rate now
is four cents. On the same basis, un-
der the new tariff act, the rate would
be five, but by establishing a special
gravel and sand distance tariff, the
railroads hope to preserve the old
rate. r..
No Immediate Action.
NO action looking toward the in
crease of intrastate freight rates will
be taken until the interstate COM
merce commission has rendered its de-
cision on the companies petition for
an interstate increase of Is per cent,
representatives of the railways ad-
vised the state rail board. No formal
application for an increase was made
at the hearing here The railroads
stated their reasons for regarding an
increase just. and stated they would
appreciate the boards approval. Ii
an increase is made in this state, 1t
will be affected through the filing Of
tariffs showing the advanced rate with
the commission. The board has no
power to approve such increase, and
any shipper may protest the advance.

the Americans, who admitted they had
never seen such in aviation. After an
hour with the aviators, General Perish

While both meetings with the min

General Pershing consented to be

He spoke almost enthusiastically OF

FRAZIER BATTING LOAN, 2
COULDN'T ATTEND MEET

u On the eve of the close of the LID
erty Loan campaign, the board of uni
versity and school lands, all leaguers,
which met late yesterday afternoon,
declined to even consider former Gov.
ernor Hanna's proposal that the state
reinvest in Liberty bonds 100000 Of
the $5O,OOO,OOO estate which has been
created for North Dakota by federal
land grant.
The specific reason given for not
taking up the matter was the ab-
sence of Governor Frazier, who spent
yesterday in Mott with President A.
G. Townley of the Nonpartisan league,
addressing league rally.
Governor Frazier Is said to have
been favorable to investing the states
surplus in the bonds when a previous
meeting was held, but it seems ap'
parent that his ten days campaigning
with Townley has caused him to
change his mind.
illegal, Says langer.
Another reason given by the board
for ignoring this opportunity to ex-
press the states gratitude to Uncle
Sam for his gift of millions of acres
of land was that Attorney General
LANCER has held that such an invest
lnent would be illegal, in spite Of the
fact that the state heretofore has in
vested in bonds other than state.
