Administration Slow Il
To Provoke Clash On
Emergency Feature,

Bismarck. N. D.. Dec. 27.-The
Frazier admipistration forces still
hesitate at precipitating clash over
putting into immediate operation
laws passed by the legislature in its
special, session.
h Present energies of the Frazier
supporters are directed to the propo-
sition Of forcing court action by those
state officers who support the propo-
sition that referendum petitions as
provided for by the constitution,
definitely suspend H. b. so. known as
the emergency act. and all other laws
which passed by less than the num-
Der OF votes required to declare them
emergency measures.
The Frazier crew in the state house
wants to put the burden of carrying
the issue into the courts on the Off
GERS against whom the long list of
laws passed by the legislature arc
aimed, but in this it is believed they
will fail. as the opposition officials
arc in position to "sit tight" and
force the Frazier, administration to
take the lead.

Joint Haul To Save
Money For Shippers

Bismarck, N. D.. Dec. 27.-A saving
of several thousand dollars per an
mum to shippers as a result of new
joint haul rate for intra-state, freight
is promised North Dakota by the
state railway commission. The new
joint haul rate is said to be from ten
to fifteen per cent cheaper than the
old time rate which was made up Of
several short t-haul tariffs. 1t Is stated
that the new North Dakota rates for
joint hauls are the same as those pre-
vailing in Minnesota, and that the re-
suit will be to enable North Dakota
jobbers to offer keener competition to
rivals Of Duluth and the Twin Cities.
