NORTH DAKOTA
FACING GRAVE
PROBLEM TODAY
Proposed Zoning System of
Freight Rates Would Hit
State Hard Blow.
PROTESTS WILL BE MADE
Director General McAdO0 Will
Be Told of Unfairness
of His Plan.

"The most serious problem North
Dakota ever has had to face is the
new coming system Of freight rates pro-
posed by Director General McAdOo,"
said G. N. Remission, secretary OF the
Bismarck Commercial club, today. If
these rates are established. North la
kOta's iObbing business will be wiped
out, and the blow will not fall upon the
cities alone but will affect the Equity.
the Farmers union and other cooper
alive organizations and the farmers as
individuals. 1t is something which Vi
tally affects every citizen of North
Dakota, and it is an injustice which
we must all join in combating.
THE interstate commerce commits
sion has proposed this change in rates
as a means Of decentraliing traffic to
relieve congestion in the large centers
and secure better car distribution.
The effect of the plan will be exactly
the reverse. HtMlreds of small job
hing cehters will lie wiped outZand all
Of this business will be- centralized at
a few large points. Insteadi of zreliev-
ing conditions now complained of. the
new system would serve to further as
,grivate them. These facts must be i'm
pressed upon the Interstate commerce
commission and Mr.. McAdOo.'
With the aid of statistics compiled
by James A. Little, rate expert OF the
North Dakota railway commission, the
traffic committee of the Bismarck
Commercial club is planning to join
with other North Dakota cities in Il
formal protest in which will dc cited
objections which cannot be explained
away by. advocates of the new plan.
While South Dakota, Kansas, Ne
braska, eastern Texas, Louisiana and
southern Missouri are, like North Da-
kOta, in the 100 per cent zone, all of
these states have favorable commodity
rates which will serve to neutraliZe the
unfavOrahlr class rates. North Da-
kOta is not so fortunately situated. Its
commodity rates have been neglected
for years, and if the new plan is in
au&urated, placing North Dakota in
the 100 per cent zone, Twin City and
Chicago wholesale houses can ship in
carload lots into any North Dakota
territory more cheaply than our job
hers can bring in merchandise in car.
IOdu lOtS anu IeulStflDutc IL III less
than carload lots
Secretary Remission is in correspond
ence with the Equity and Farmers
union, both of which will hold theil
state meetings here in January as
guests Of the Bismarck Commercial
club, and it is probable that the new
freight rates will be given careful con
sideration at the annual conventions
of these cooperative organizations.

The fve-sided senatorial contest IN

into attempts by the other candidates
to influence the Lenroot-Thompson
battle for the republican nomination
at next Tuesdays primaries.
With the certainty that the demo-
Gratis will be represented at the cleo
ton April 2 by an unquestioned pro-
war candidate and the socialists by
a candidate opposed to the war. 1t
was evident that the republican noml-
nee will split either the pro-war or
the s~o-called anti-war vote.
IF the republicans nominate Repre-
sentative Irwin L. Lenroot, the pro-
war vote. it was pointed out, Will be
divided between him and the demo
cratic candidate with Victor L.. Ber-
ger. socialist, in an excellent position
to garner the entire vote OF the war
critics. If James Thompson, LaFol-
Ie,ie's candidate, is nominated, 1t is
expected that Thompson and Berger
will divide tho anti-war vote with the
possibility that the full strength OF
the .loyalists" vote will be concen-
trated on the democratic candidate.
