FREIGHT RATE
INVESTIGATION

SET FOR NOVEMBER Is
Railroad Company Represen.
tatives Ask More Time TO
Prepare Their Case

General investigation into North
Dakota freight rates, launched today
by the state railroad board at a hear
ing which was expected to last three
days, has been postponed until No
vembcr 18.
The postponcment was taken when
representatives of railroad companies
asked more time in which to prepare
to defend the rates already in exis-
tence and others on which they have
asked increases.
The action came as a surprise to
score of freight rate experts and
shippers who had gathered here for
the meeting. The shippers, however,
expressed general satisfaction be-
cause the extra time also will give
them an opportunity to prepare more
data to present to the commission.
Hendricks Testifies
Only one witness had been heard
when postponment was announced
at the close of today's session.
He was f.. NJ. Hendricks, traffic ex-
submitted numerous exhibits in sup
port of suggested rate changes which
he recommended to the board for
special consideration.
The present rate structure, Hen.
bricks said, is antiquated in that
some items are given very fair and
reasonable rates while others bear q
disproportionate part Of North Da-
kota's total freight bill. He submit.
ted numerous exhibits and compila-
tions in support of his contentious.
In statement to the railroad
board, attorneys for the railroads said
they would be prepared, when the
hearing is resumed, to offer testi-
mony in rebuttal and to examine
Hendricks and other witnesses with
regard to the points brought up fol
discussion.

has invited all southern states to send

OF the recent cotton market slump.
Per Capita Assessment
Calling of the post-election meet
ing and adoption Of the new method
of financing its legislative work with
per capita assessment on all men,
bcr organizations were the principal
new acts of the federation confer
ence here. It was determined to
press congress more vigorously for
passage Of surplus control measures
and agreed that the McNary- -Haugen
agricultural relief principle would
again be the basis Of the Washington
campaign.
Unlike previous meetings of the
committee, the administration was
not criticized in the resolutions,

proposed alliance with the south.
Such an alliance is feared by OPP
ponents of agricultural relief acts,

Difficult to Make Accurate
Check Because of Condition
of Books and Inadequacy Of
Records, Auditor Says-Es-
crow Provision Eyaded

Hearing on the proposal to cancel
the stock selling permit Of the River
dale Homes company. begun today
by the state securities commission,
was continued at noon until 2 p. nj.
In presenting to the commission
the results of his audit, y. B. Lund,
auditor, said that an accurate check
of the company's affairs was diff
cult because Of the condition Of its
books and the inadequacy Of its rec
ords. The audit showed that the COM
pany had $287.5O in the escrow ac-
count subject to the control of the
securities commission when it should
have had $15,215.5O.
Commenting on this fact Lund
said: "For the purpose Of evading
the escrow provision, the officers of
the company are converting the ORR
ginal stock subscription sales into
notes." These notes, he explained,
were given by company officials to
stock purchasers in order to obtain
use of the money required by the
securities commission to be placed
in escrow subject to its control.
Wright Defends Practice
w. G.. Wright, president of the
company, defended this practice in a
statement to the commission, con-
tending that he had obtained the
consent Of every stock purchaser
whose money was taken from escrow.
The books also showed, Lund said,
that 1863 shares Of stock were held by
Wright although no payment for
them was recorded on the company's
books.
In statement Of the company's
assets and liabilities Lund said that
It showed a deficit of 4lS,082.14. Tho
assets were $l4,606.70 and liabilities
$27, ,7eO.92.
Lund listed the company's interest
in real estate equities at $7,2O5.82,
but said they were carried on the
company's books at much greater
figure.
In cases where capital stock was
exchanged for lots the titles were
taken by the company without plac-
ing them In escrow 40 required by
the commission, Lund said.
Records Ineomplete
Stating that the company had no
systematic method Of keeping rec
ords, that checks were drawn on the
company's funds without explanation
and no entries made on the books,
Lund said: "Part Of the records were
originally kept at Minot and part of
them at the Bismarck office. Dur
ing the last two months preceding
this audit some Of the records Of the
Bismarck office were moved to Minot
and ledger pages were redrawn. In
some cases they were found to be
duplicated and in other cases they
were missing. The ledger accounts
could not be connected with the books
Of original entry by rs. In order
to prove the exact condition Of all
transactions Of the company it would
be necessary to take up their deal
ings with each individual, therefore
we have not made ! complete audit
Of the accounts Or attempted to make
statement Of the operations Of the
company from the beginning"
As to the general financial con-
dition Of the company, Lund said two
homes had been built 1t Minot and
one ut Garrison is uncompleted, work
