Bismarck, N. D.. June THAT the
interstate commerce commission was
impressed with the showing made by
the North Dakota rail board in it's
protest against the proposed Is per
cent increase in freight rates IL the
opinion Of j. A. Little, rate expert,
who returned from Washington last
night.
The North Dakota board spent sew
eral days presenting arguments and
evidence before the interstate COM
merce commission. North Dakota
farmers in Washington to present the
price for wheat were placed on the
stand to testify that farmers encoun-
ter more difficulties in financing their
operations than do the railroads, and
that farming would stand the brunt
Of the increased burden resulting from
the freight boost. which the rate ex-
pert testified would amount to So, 000,-
900 on one normal wheat crop alone.
The increase would cos the state as
a whole 81, 200, 900 the year, the rail
board argued.

Chairman Aandahl and Rate FIX
pert Little presented evidence to show
that North Dakota has been kind to

by making liberal provisions as to
passenger service. agent requirements
and through other concessions tending
to decrease operating costs. North
Dakota branch lines have less passen-
ger service. the board stated, than
branch lines in neighboring states.
Railways are not compelled to install
agents on branch lines until an earn
ing Of $4,000 the mile is shown. Pas
senger traffic is generally handled on
branch lines by mixed trains, whereas
in other states first class passenger
service Is insisted upon for the same
amount Of service. All of these con-

the board contends. the North Dakota
railroads have an enhanced earning
power which should enable them to

Chairman Aandahl and Mr.. Little
were invited to Join the party Of North
Dakotans which conferred with Prest-

Mr.. Wilson, states Mr.. Little, was very
affable and much interested in North

this state must play in the feeding of

actual use less than half a day, it
is said Elephants, donkeys, camels
and goats were used in these scenes
and hundreds of players dressed in
costumes of ancient Babylonians, As
syrians, Jews and Romans. Every
phase of the vari-colored life of
Asia Minor in the days OF 1927 b. c.
is pictured il is claimed Many
natives of the old world were Sc
cured for these large scenes, and
when the time came for the show
ing of the "confounding OF tongues
where all were supposed to speak
different languages, it is said that
many Of the players unconsciously
began TO speak their native tongues
thus adding TO the realism OF the
spectacular scenes. Draft 25S' is
one Of the most ambitious photo
dramas ever offered and is the lOgi-
cal successor TO that great patriotic
drama. "The Stacker" It's a pic
torial review Of the great events in
American history and should be OF

A GREAT ACHIEVEMENT

Regardless of the prohibition ques-

a matter Of congratulation that the
State has had such an efficient COM
missioner for the enforcement Of the
law as the Hon. Fred o. Blue.
AS will be seen in Washington
dispatch printed in another part OF
this issue, Mr.. Blue has achieved still
greater distinction through decision
handed down by the United States
Supreme Court In the application OF
the Webb-Kenyon act, sustaining all
of the contentious made by Mr.. Ride
with reference to the importation OF
liquors into West Virginia for person
al use.
Commissioner Blue represented
West Virginia in this case, and the
successful outcome Of his efforts is
an achievement that he may we'll be
proud of as a lawyer.
