O'COnnor's Statements
Following is tile statement made
by Mr.. O'Conncr:
1.-THE passage of the initiated law
by the people at the general election.
which provides that political subdi-
visions of the state. may deposit pub
lie funds in the Bank Of North%Da-
skota but strikes out the compulsory
feature requiring all tax money to be
deposited in the Bank OF North Dn-
kota.i is in no way responsible for the
closing of banks in North Dakota.
The reasons are clear: First, because
the law is not effective until 80 days
after the election: secondly, no money
has been withdrawn by the state bank
from local institutions: thirdly. the
political subdivisions will re-deposit
the money in the local banks or leave
1t in the state bank. when the law
becomes effective.
20. L. Lofthus. the state bank ex-
aminer, appointed by Gov. Frazier,
states that the initiated law is not re-
sponsible for the closing bf banks.
Therefore. the repeal of the law
would not correct the present condi-
!tion.

have expressed themselves on legis-
.@lation, a legislator must have weighty

BILLION DOLLAR

RAILROADS ASK RATE INCREASE

Washington, July 14.-In present.

mission that SHOT 100000 was neces-
Sary to advance their income to the
per cent basis permitted by the new

some advances were necessary, but

method of application.
Passenger rates the carriers pro-
posed would be left unchanged and

throughout the country did not take
INTO account any wage increases made

Apart from these advances, 3S
roads in the southwest asked separate
treatment from the western classifi-
cation, and a rate increase of 1928 per
cent.
An estimated valuation of $780, 16,-
600, 900 placed on the transportation
systems by their owners was ques-
toned by both shippers and utility
commissions, who complained that
"book value" was unreliable, while the
carriers contended that their figures
were conservative, especially because
of rising cost of materials and equip
ment. Increases in passenger rates,
and flat freight increases instead of
the percentage advances also were ad
vocated by shippers to iequaliZe the
burden of any advance.
Setting out the necessity for the
increase, the railroads claimed that
the net income of all the country's
roads fell from $685. 100000 in
1916, to $510,000,000 in 1919, while
their investment was increased more
than $4,000 100000. Operating ex-
penses, the roads said have increased
99.1 per cent since 1915, and revenues
36.37 per cent Operating expenses, it
was added, are now SO per cent of the
revenues, against 6S per cent in 1916.
Arguing for the increases, the rail-
road executives said the one billion
dollars of added revenue was neces-
sary if the roads were to handle the
nations commerce satisfactorily. They
contended that savings promised by
them could not be affected at once
because the roads We're not returned
to them in the same condition as
they were when taken over and be-
cause of unsolved labor difficulties.
Clifford Thorne, of Chicago, repre-
senting shippers, recommended to
the commission that the roads be uni
fled for operation as they We're in
1917. declaring that only in this way
could the roads solve the existing
transportation problem.
Mr.. Thorne also argued that the
rate advances asked We're EXCESSIVE,
as the carriers had NOT made any pro-.
vision for more efficient operation or
for decreases\ in the cost of materials.
He also argued that the companies
set too high a. value on their proper
ties, and that they We're capitalizing
land granted them by federal and
state governments without cost and
asking the people to forever pay a
tax on these free gifts
