Duluth, Mimi, Nov. IA predic-
tion that Germany and Italy might
soon be expected to become active
buyers Of grain as result of recent
developments and an expression Of
hope that negotiations now under way
in financial quarters would enable
Germany to restore her finances,
were made in a telegram from Julius
H. Barnes of New York. president of
the United States Chamber of Com
merce. received at the Duluth board
Of trade today.
Mr.. Barnes in the telegram pointed
out the great improvement that has
already taken place in Italian lire as
the result of change in government in
that country. This message, to-
gether with higher cables, tended to
cause moderate advance in wheat
prices on the local board.

EXPRESS RATES
ARE PROPOSED
Petition Filed With I. G.. C..
Would Lower Parcel Post
Weight Limit.

Proposal for increased express rates
Is contained in petition filed recently
with the interstate commerce COM
mission by the American Railroad En-
press company, according to J. w.
Goodman, local traffic commissioner.
Mr.. Goodman says it is also gener-
ally proposed to ask that parcel post
packages be limited in weight to Is
pounds instead Of. SO pounds, as is
row the case. This is mentioned from
the standpoint of competition.
The petition to the 1. c. c.. Mr..
Goodman said, is for an increase Of
1912 per cent in the eastern states,
1852 per cent in the southern states,
and 1926 per cent in the western
states:
No date for the hearing has yet
been set by the interstate commerce
commission it was said.
Made Investigation.
For the past year the American
Railroad Executive association has
conducted an investigation Of the
express service situation. and the pc
tition, 1t is said is based largely
upon the findings thereof. This in
vestigation. by the way. has been re-
ferred to as bearing directly upon the
question that has developed with the
development OF parcel post service:
SIS the railroad express service ,an
essential medium of this kind of
! tfansportation?" $e
| The American Railroad Express
company, Its petition states, suffered
a deficit Of thirty-nine million dollars
and UP to the present time in 1922
the loss is claimed to be thirteen mil
! lion dollars. This loss, as the re-
lstionship between the express and
railroad companies is understood. is
made up by the railroads.
Any local shippers who have opin.
Ions to express regarding the pro.
\ posals will be given hearing bs

mercial club, Mr.. Goodman said.

Losses Incurred.

'As a result Of the program, put

tremendous losses. 3SDirect taxes Of
1886, 6,oo0,0oo have already been levied
to- pay interest on bonds issued for
the purpose Of carrying out the league
program. This is just the beginning.
Nostax has, as vet, been levied to pay
the bonds when they become due. Due
to@the fact that real estate loans made
under the Frazier administration are
delinquent, s439,000, of taxes has been
levied to provide for the payment of
interest on real estate bonds. Consid-
ertng the fact that the Bank of North
Dakota, during the, Frazier admins
tration, made only $2,771,000 in real
estate loans, the defaults are to say
the least rather startling. Are not
these losses to the taxpayers enough
