RATE CUTS IN
GRAIN ORDERED
BY STATE BODY
r e d uctiOn in Intrastate
Freight Rates in Products
Is Held Justified
WHAT 1T AFFECTS
All Grain Moving From Point
to Point Within State of
North Dakota

Decreases in intrastate grain and
grain products freight rates are or
dered by the state railroad commits
sion in decision handed down today.
The case was heard several months
ago. I'LL,
The decreases, according to rate
experts of the commission, range
from 8 to 22 percent. and average
about 20 percent under the present
rates, and the. new rates are to be
effective March rs.
The decreases ordered are or
wheat, flour, corn, rye, oats, barley,
flax seed, millet seed and similar
products. They affect shipments
both originating and ending within
the state, which shipments constitute
about five percent of the entire grain
and grain products shipments ori
ginating in North Dakota. The ma.
jority of grain is shipped interstate
on a different schedule of rates to
the Twin Cities and Duluth.
In discussing the decision the COM
missions opinion says:
according to testimony of wit
nesses for the carriers, approximate
ly 95 percent of the grain and grain
products moved on interstate rate:
during the year 1922. For that per
iod the Northern Pacific Railway
shipped from all stations on it's line!
in North Dakota 1,232,724 tons Of
grain and grain products on inter
state rates and only 22,5S4 tons OF
| intrastate rates. Testimony O.
witnesses for the, state clearly estab
lished the fact that not over five per
cent Of the grain and grain product.
moved on intrastate rates. This fac
lends support to the argument of th'
carriers that the interstate grail
rates are OIL more vital interest t.

DAUGHERTY LEFT OUT

Washington. Feb. A.-E. G. Fin
ney, associate secretary Of the In
terror, was quoted today before the
oil committee as saying that Secre
tary Fall considered it "unneces-
sary" to have Attorney-Genern
Daugherty pass on the validity Of
the oil leases before they were
made.
The testimony was given by Os-
car Sutro, counsel for the Standard
Oil Company of California. He
told the committee that he had
suggested to Mr.. Finney that a de-
partment of justice opinion be
sought.
"Mr. Finney's reply in sub
stance" continued the witness,
"was that it was not the wish Of
the Secretary Of Interior-no, I do
not think that expresses it he
said the secretary of the interior
considered it unnecessary to have
the opinion Of the Attorney-Gen-
eral."

President Calvin Coolidge either an
enthusiastic and ringing endorse
nent as the Republican presidential
candidate at the Cleveland conven-
ion or by the action of the conven-
lion to show that the great majority
Of delegates favor him.
When, in the Second district Con-
gressional caucus, the remark was
made by one delegate that the caucus
AXE no action in selecting any can
lidate for delegate bound to any par
ticular candidate for the presidential
nomination, one delegate asked: "lf
this isn't Coolidge meeting, why
;,re we here?" This provoked re-
marks of appreciation for the presi-
lent.
The convention was to get under
way at 10 a. m. with Chairman Bur-
leigh Spalding of Fargo presiding,
but it was decided to postpone the
opening because many delegates were
.oming in to the convention on the
,oon train. The session of the con-
vention was in the Rialto theater.
The business of the convention in
cluded: selection of candidate for
national committeeman, selection of
13 candidates for delegates to the
Republican national convention at
Cleveland, Ohio, in June and selec-
tion of five candidates for presiden-
tial electors, all tC 30 before the vot-
crs in the March primary.
Congressional Delegates
The chief question agitating dele
gates during the morning confer
ences was the division between con-
gressional districts. The Second con-
gressional district delegates. in eau
Gus, voted to ask that the 13 candi-
dates for delegates be divided four
in each district, with one at large
with the name of l.. B. Hanna, Cool
idge manager in the state, mentioned
as the delegate-at-largc. Mr.. Hanna
was here.
This plan was submitted to the
Third district caucus, and the report
vas brought back that the Third dis
trict was agreeable TO the division or
a four-four-four basis.
The First district, however, ap
peared to feel that that district, IL
the eastern part of the state, shoult
be given more delegates because o1
the larger vote there. One represen
tative in that district suggested si1
delegates from that district, fou1
from the second and three from th'
third.
The matter was expected to 60 tl
the convention floor, unless irone'
out in nominating committees to b.
named by the caucuses of the thre
districts. The First district aske'
that, nominating committee b.
named to propose names of candi
dates for delegates and electors. Thi
was generally acceptable, as meth
cd Of expediting the selection Of del
egates. <The Second and Third dis
trict caucuses voted on the names o
hnen from those districts for dele
gates.
Committeeman Discussed
!, Aside from the apportionmeptS o
delegates the question of naticna
committeeman was uppermost in tn
libby millings. The name Of Harri

most frequently mentioned, althcugl
