INCREASE AUTHORIZED

Authority for the railroads to in
crease revenues by approximately one
billion and a half dollars was granted
last Saturday by the interstate com
merce commission. Freight rates will
be advanced about one third, passen'
ger fare one-fifth and Pullman charges
one-half. Coastwise and inland steam
ships and electric railway companies
also were granted an INCREASE in
freight rates in proportion to the in
creases granted railroads serving the
same territory.
The new rates, to continue until
March /, 1922, will become effective on
five days notice by the carriers to the
commission and the public when they
must be in operation before January
lst. Since the government guarantee
expires September 1st, the carriers are
expected to put the advances into eff
feet by then. The increases are de-
signed to offset the S600000,000 wage
advance awarded by the railroad labor
board to provide the six per cent net
income on the aggregate value OF the
railroad properties under the tracspor-
tation act. The aggregate value OF all
railroads was estimated by the COM
mission at ,9OO,OO0,0O0. as against
a book value of $20,04O, 100000 given
by the carriers.

our advertising columns is revealed the interest
and kindly feeling the merchants of Devils Lake

TOTAL SALES,
$l,l2S,480,73l

San Francisco, Cali-Total cash re-
ceipts from the sale of War Savings
securities from the beginning of the
movement in December, 1917 to De-
cember. 1919, amount to 81 1,12S ,4S0, ,731 /,
according to telegram sent Governor
John u. Calkins, of the San Francisco
Federal Reserve bank from Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury, r. G. Lef-
fingwell, announcing the government s
thrift program for 1920. 1t is ex-
pected that the sales of the past Xmas
will greatly swell the years record
During the summer, sales of War
Savings Stamps dropped somewhat be-
low the high mark set during the war
and Immediately after the armistice
but for the last five months there mas
been a steady monthly increase in the
amount of these securities sold, which
in the opinion of the Treasury offic-
ials, prophesies continual investment
in government securities by the gen
eral public throughout 1920.
The 1920 War Savings Stamp is a
bit larger than the 1919 stamp and is
carmine in color, bearing the head of
George Washington rather than Ben
jamin Franklin's bust The Thrift
Stamps will be the same, as will the
Treasury Savings Certificates, which
are isued in denominations OF 500
and 81 200. War Savings Stamps and
Treasury Savings Certificates OF the
1920 Issue will mature January, 1925.
Prices of War Savings Stamps, be-
ginning at S4.12 for January, will in
crease monthly to $4.23 for the last
month of the year, Treasury Certii-
Gates selling in proportion. Both will
ray four percent interest compounded
every three months.
The Treasury Department strongly
advises the exchange of full War Saw
ings Certificates, that is, twenty stamps
affixed to a folder, for Treasury Ger
tificates, which are registered, thereby
protecting the holders. For this
reason 1918 and 1919 Treasury Ger
tificates will be available for exchange
for War Savings Certificates of 1873
and 1919.

ANNUAL MEET
OF TEACHERS

The annual meeting of the Idaho
State Teachers Association was held

history of the association. Many
