ARGUE ON GRAIN
| RATE REDUCTION
Attorneys Say Lower Tarlne
Would Throw Many Ralir oads
Into Bankruptcy.
WOULD CUT WAGES
Commission Told That Per Cent
WAGE Reduction on Western Roads
Would Enable Is Per Cent
Cut In Grain Rates.

Washington-Attorn for the rail-
roads and for the shippers gave oral
arguments before the Interstate CON-
merce commission at hearings on the
proposed reduction Of freight rates
on grain and hay, the former arguing
that reduction would throw many
western roads into bankruptcy.
Attorneys for the shippers declared
that production would be lessened and
the roads would suffer from reduced
traffic, il the present rates were con-
tinued.
R. H. Widdicombe, attorney for the
North Western railroad, said /asser-
tons that present rates would result
in decreased acreage next year were
VERY speculative" Prices, he added,
were governed by supply and demand
and not by freight rates. The present
low prices for grain were due, he said
to reduced exports as a result of con-
ditions in Europe.
Expenses Called Too High.
]. N. Davis, representing the St.
Paul road, said western roads this
year had expended 95.04 per cent of
their revenues for. operating expenses,
which, he. added, proved that there
can be no general reduction in rates"
witnesses have shown" he said,
"that the benefit to the farmer from
reductions asked would run from So
to $56 a year for each farmer No
one will contend that this is a SUBJ
stantial aid to the farmer. But 25
per cent reduction would mean an
annual loss in revenue Of more than
$63, 100000 to the carriers, and would
cut the net r~t~rn to 142 per cent"
Replying to Questions asked early
in the hearings as to whether the
roads should forego a 51a per cent re-
turn and give a helping hand to the
farmer, the speaker said:
"The transportation system not only
has it's rate regulated, but major
portion of it's operating expenses regu-
lated by government agencies and in
no case under present law can the
transportation company earn for itself
: greater return than 5% per cent.
WITH the ldrIl0r uO SUCH regulation
exists. He can often recoup his losses
" a fat year."
Would Cut Wages.
Clifford Thorne, attorney for the
shippers, suggested to the commission
Mat as the railroads could not reduce
rates under present wages, labor on
western railroads be asked to accept
d 5 per cent reduction in wages there
by enabling the carriers to make a
reduction of Is per cent in grain
rates.
Labor is opposed to accepting re-
auctions that would benefit the cor
porations, Mr.. Throne said, but he
added that he would like to know
whether labor would reject such re-
auctions if it were known that the re-
duction would aid the agricultural in
dustry, and further whether the car
riers would be willing to pass such
la wage reduction straight on to the
farmer.

WHY ADVERTISE

Anoka Herald:-Why must mer-
chant advertise his goods if he ex-
poets to sell them3
Spare us few moments right here
and now and we will strive to demon
strate.
Suppose there are three grocers, three
meat men and three clothiers in Anoka,
all having been in Anoka, about the
same length Of time and all with about
the same quality Of goods.
Now suppose that during the week
there are ten thousand farmers and city
people who have need of meat, cloth
ing and groceries.
The advance guard Of them come
down Main street. The above nine
merchants have their places Of business
open ready for trade.
The army of buyers march past the
first two clothiers, the first two grocery
stores and the first two meat markets
end enter the third:
Why?
They have been invited to do SO!
See what the buyers have in their
hands! It is an invitation from the
three live merchants to come to their
store to trade.
These three merchants value the
trade Of the ten thousand buyers so
highly that they are willing to spend
little time and few dollars to invite
the trade
Of course the ten thousand buyers
know where the other stores are-they
have seen them there for years.
But trade goes where it is invited
and where it is treated the best.
That is advertising!
And when business is "dull' and
there are only five hundred buyers a
week to be divided among the nine
stores it very naturally follows that it
will pay to make the invitation-the
Acknowledgements attractive.

twice as strong as Japan upon the sea,

strength. Germany has the right by
treaty to create small navy. Other
nations have no fleets that need be con-
