COMMERCIAL
FREIGHTING
DESCRIBED
State Registrar Gets Opinion
Which Clarifies Licens-
ing Question

Persons and firms using auto
trucks in the ordinary course Of
their business, including oil COM
panies, individuals doing q general
drayage business and persons haul
ing stock for farmers for hire or
making occasional trips to packing
plants are not doing commercial
freighting within the meeting of the
North Dakota law, the attorney gen.
erals office has held in an opinion
to State Registrar Fred B. 1ngstad.
Truck owners using their machines
on highway construction jobs and
hauling gravel for hire also are ex-
empt from classification as CONNER
cial freighting agencies, the opinion
held.
The opinion quotes from the law
which declares that Commercial
freighting shall mean the carriage
Of things, other than passengers, for
hire between fixed termini not wholly
within the limits Of the same city,
village or borough; provided that
local dray lines carrying baggage or
goods to or from 4 railroad station
from or to places in the vicinity
thereof, shall not be construed to
be engaged in commercial freight
ing"
The attorney general points out in
the opinion that the standard as
fixed by the legislature is that the
truck operator must operate "be-
tween fxed termini not wholly within
the limits Of the same city or viii
lage" and that no truck operator not
50 operating can Justly be charged
state license fees in addition to the
normal fee for. the class Of vehicle

MOTOR BUSES
MUST OBSERVE
UTILITY LAW
Carriers Operating Between
Fixed Termini CIassed as
Public Utilities

Motor buses operating between
fixed termini are public utilities and
as such must observe the laws laid
down for the regulation Of public
utilities companies. Attorney General
George Shafer has held in an opinion
to the state railroad board.
As result Of Skaters decision bus
companies and operators will here
after be required by the railroad
board to file statements Of indebted
ness and secure the approval Of the
railroad board before they can le-
gally issue mortgages. stocks, bonds
and other securities to finance their
business, members Of the railroad
board said.
Viewed from one standpoint the
opinion is construed as favorable to
the bus lines since Il gives them the
same rights and privileges with re-
gard to operation under the law that
are accorded to older and bettef es-
tablished forms of transp0ttation.

DULUTH HAS
$4,000 FIRE
IN GAS PLANT
Blaze for a Time Threatened
to Cut OF Twin Ports
Gas Supply

Duluth. Minn., Jan. l8.-LP)-Dam-
age estimated at $4,000 was caused
Sunday by fire which destroyed the
coal crushing plant Of the Zenith
Furnace company in West Duluth
and threatened for time to cut off
the entire gas supply of Duluth and
Superior.
It was the first major fire Of 1926.
The fire started at $3.50 p. M, Sun
day, but it was midnight before it
was fully under control.
Spontaneous Combustion Blamed
Spontaneous combustion was be-
lieved by the officials to be the cause
of the blaze, which started in the
crushing plant where the coal is
broken before it is fed to the ovens to
have gas driven of.
Before the fire department arrived
the interior of the crushing plant
was a glowing furnace. Trestles and
outsheds for storing coal for d dis
tance of 200 feet were damaged by
flames.
Officials Of the company declared
that the loss would run up to $4,000.
but would not mean curtailment of
the Twin Ports gas supply. While
the fire was still smo!dering, the SER
vice was switched to making Of water
gas.

Fisher Has no instructions
From Senator as to Its
Disposition

State Treasurer c., A. Fisher has
$700, contributed by supporters of
Senator Gerald P. Nye, to aid him
in his fight for the senate seat to
which Governor A. G. Sorlie appoint

Since he has received no instruc-

Of the money he is holding it pending
instructions from the senator, in
whose behalf it was donated during
the "dime for Nye" campaign launch-
ed few weeks before the senate vot-
ed to seat the Cooperstown editor.
It is expected in some circles here
that Nye will refuse to accept the
money now that he has been seated
and awarded salary beginning from
the time Of his appointment. II is
considered probsble that it will be
turned over by him for use by the
republican state central committee
during the next campaign. :

WORSE THINGS
THAN DANCING
SAYS EDITOR
Head Of M. E. Publication Says
Night Autos Lure More
Girls to Wrong

Detroit, Jan. l8.-LP)-Every effort
to denature the dance has ended in
failure, declares DR.. w. H. Phelps,
editor of the Michigan Christian Ad-
vocate, official Methodist Episcopal
organ for the Detroit area.
Henry Ford has put the world on
wheels, but to teach the world to
dance decently is giants task" as
serts DR.. Phelps. 1--WE wish he could
do it, but our faith is admittedly
small. Nevertheless. he may be right.
Our cocksureness about the dance is
gone, but our old convictions have not
faded an iota.
1--WE no longer think of the dance
as wicked, as we once did, but think
OF it now rather as dangerous"
There are worse things than the
dance, the writer adds, and asserts
that the might automobile undoubt-
edly is Turing more girls to immoral
ity than the dance ever did, and that
is saying a good DEAL
DR.. Phelps maintains that IAN evil
by-product is the use Of the dance
to finance the athletic department Of
the school which makes non-partici-
pants appear as slackers and brings in
outsiders that leave little cash and
frequently lot of smut behind
them"
