ROADS OPPOSE
RECENT ORDER
OF RAILB0ARD
New Rates and Regulations
Out Of Line With Other
Rates, They Claim

Railroads protesting the order Of
the state railroad board in the Grand
Forks mill and elevator case contend
that the new rates and regulations
prescribed are out of line with other
rates, and too low, the petition for
reargument and rehcaring, filed with
the railroad board, shows.
Charging that petition for the new
rates was made by the mill and ele-
vator on the basis Of comparison
with rates existing in Minnesota on
intrastate traffic, and from North
Dakota to the Twin Cities and Duluth
terminal markets, the petitioners say
"The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has condemned the Minnesota
rates a. being so low as to create dis
examinations against interstate CON-
merce and has found the North Da-
kota terminal rates AZ being CON
spicuously low Since the carriers
are seeking to increase these rates
we believe that this commission
should grant rcargument to be had
subsequent to the decisions Of the In.
terstate Commerce Commission and
the Minnesota commission, which are
expected within the next four or five
weeks"
The carriers attack the commits
sion's order reducing the cost Of
joipt-line hauls as being incompatible
with previous decisions by the state
board on rates to the state mill and
elevator.
Fixed Charge h Too Low
The charge Of one cent per l0C
pounds for cleaning and mixing grair
in transit, established by the board
is attacked on the ground that it il
unnecessary to equalize the state mil
and elevator with other mills more
advantageously situated as Is tht
usual practice where transit rates arr
established. They contend that there
is no basis in the record for granting
the state mill such . privilege. The
amount. allowed, estimated by the car
riers at>eS per car, is held to be mot
only an unreasonably low charge but
actually confiscatory and we believe
would not be upheld by any court.
Whether or not a reargument ant
rehearing will be granted has moi
been indicated by the railroad board

Sidelights on
World Series


st. Louis, Oct. 5--(P)-Thou-
sands Of persons who travelled
many miles to sec the Cardinals
and Yankees play the third game
of the world series seemed
doomed to disappointment today.
There was not nearly enough
space to 20 around ut Sports
mans Park.
"Grover Cleveland Alexander
for mayor" was a sign displayed
in a window during the Cardinal
homecoming celebration last
night. The matter of Alexander's
legal residence in Nebraska wns
evidently regarded only as a
= technicality.
The Cardinals were made the
favorites in betting with no New
York money in sight in st. Louis.
where to bet against the Cardi-
mails is treason. Odds ,of five to
four apd four to three were be-
ing offered on Hornsby's men to
win the series, according to those
supposed to know the situation.
Miller Higgins, former Cardi-
nal manager, who heads the in
vading Yankee host, declared on
his arrival: I'm going to have u
good time in st. Louis" He did
not say how.
