SWEEPING CHANGES
ARE DUE IN MILLING.
Reduction of Railroad Rates
Expected to RevoIutionize
Flour Business.
BY j. G.. ROYLE.
;patch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August 9.-Reduction
in the railroad freight rates on grain,
which went into effect today, Is ex-
pected by some experts to revolu-
tionize the -four and milling business
Of the country.
The Minneapolis and st. Louis Rail
road has reduced its rate on grain by
s cents 100 pounds. The st. Paul,
the Chicago and Northwestern. the
Great Western, the Rock Island, the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, re-
duced their rates in corresponding
degree on Missouri River grain.
The action of the Minneapolis and
st. Louis gave the mills in Minneapolis
and southern Minnesota a 3cent rate
advantage over mills on other lines.
The other roads. therefore, sought
and obtained permission to reduce
rates so their mills could compete
successfully with those in Minneapolis
and st. Louis territory.
Differential Lessened.
The effect Of these reductions is to
lessen the differential which has been
operating in favor of Buffalo and
Eastern milling points as against
Minneapolis and st. Paul and the
Western centers to about cents.
This differential. according to North
western millers. has resulted in the
diversion to Buffalo OF enormous
quantities OF wheat formerly ground
in the Northwest and will make it
easier for the Northwestern millers
to complete with those of Buffalo.
This will work to the advantage of
the grain grower. according to North
Ae5<A H. ~x,$I
give him a better opportunity to get
cash premiums for grain and sell at
the top OF the market. 1t also means
that he will be able to retain for his
live stock and poultry the mill feed
and offal which cannot be profltably
shipped back to his farm from Buffalo.
The action taken by the roads to-
day will line up all the carriers which
haul freight east from Minneapolis
and will make 1t possible for tho mills
which manufacture Winter wheat
flour to deliver 1t east Of Illinois ut
8 cents less per hundred pounds.
i. C. c. Ruling Sought.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion will be asked to make ruling in
the fight Of the Middle Western and
Northwestern railroads to handle the
wheat crop OF the Southwest. The
commission has granted the six roads
named above special permission to
establish milling in transit privileges
at points on their own lines.
The roads have told the commission
that the Southwest has produced this
year tremendous wheat crop. In
some places the wheat has been piled
on the ground because railroads and
elevators have been unable to handle
it. This prompted Northwestern mills,
which use Winter or soft wheat to
mix with Spring or hard wheat, to
make large purchases.
Many wheat experts consider the
crop estimates of the Government on
Spring wheat production too low
George Giebenhain, manager for
James E. Bennett & Co. Of St.
Paul. contends that reliable reports
to his firm indicate a large surplus
over the Government crop figures
Information he has obtained from
Spring wheat territory in Minnesota,
the Dakotas and Canada indicates
a much larger yield than has been
expected.

MORE LAWYERS
THAN AVERAGE
Statistics Show City Has
One for Each 500 Persons.

Indianapolis has more attorneys
than the average for the country, a
survey made by James M. Ogden,
Indianapolis Far Association presi-
dent, revealed today. There are ap-
proximately 700 attorneys here.
Statistics show there is one at
torney for every 500 persons, while
the national average is only one to
500.
1.-THE number Of lawyers in the
United States in proportion to the
population is decreasing" Ogden
said. From 1910 to 1920 the legal
profession increased S5z per cent and
the population about 10 per cent.
1.-THE tendency in law schools is
toward fewer schools with higher re-
quirements for admission.
There are today 100 law schools
in this country. The length in
course Of study is generally three
years. The tendency also is to re-
quire a degree from literary col
lege for admission to law school lead
