Officers of Minnesota Organization
Putting Hard Fight to Keep
Rates From Going Up

Through President J. F. Reed,
Secretary j. S. Jones and other
officers, the Minnesota Farm Bur
eau Federation during the present
week is making a determined fight
against proposed railroad grain and
livestock rate increases, in hear
ing at Minneapolis before repre-
sentatives of the Interstate Com

This hearing on grain rates in
the Western Trunk Line Territory
was called on the Interstate Com
missions own motion under the
Hoke Smith resolution in Congress
which directed the Commission to
make an investigation into the
freight rate structure to determine
if the rates on agricultural pro-
ducts, including livestock, are too
high.
The hearings opened at Mime
apolis Thursday and will continue
for a period of two weeks or
more.
The carriers are seeking at
these hearings to establish their
contention that the farmers can
stand a thirty-four per cent in
crease in freight rates.

State Fair Makes Money
in Spite Of Bad Weather
442,2S6 Admissions Recorded
Budget of Premiums and Priz-
es Heaviest Ever Offered

With the best attendance since
1920, the 68th annual Minnesota
State Fair proved to be one Of
the most successful in history. "A
total of 442,286 admissions were
recorded at the outside gates to
the 1927 exposition.
The attendance is phenomenal
considering the peculiar weather
of the week. Rain fell on three
days, Monday, Tuesday and We'd
nesday-and the skies were over
cast with threatening clouds, on
Thursday and Friday. Despite
the Indictment weather the attend
ance was greater on the opening
Saturday, Sunday, Thursday, Fri
day, and the closing Saturday, than
on the corresponding days a year
ago.
OF course, the reseipts were
considerably diminished this year
by the loss of the grandstand show

performances scheduled for Tues
day. The loss of the Labor Day

grandstand had been sold out and

an extremely heavy budget this
year, enough money was taken in
to pay all expenses. 1t will be
some time before the exact figures
are available, but officials are con-
fident that when the books are
balanced for the year small pro-
fit will be shown.

Highway Traffic

u but was general throughout the
state. For the state at large the
increase over 1926 was IL per

An average of 1888 vehicles
per day was counted on T. H. No.

Counts were made at 275 points
on the trunk highways and six OH
county roads. Many counts were
taken at new stations, but 205 were
at points where counts had been

The increase on No. as was

and these showed an average per
day of 2,454 vehicles. At the 236
stations on the unpaved highways
the average per day was 702 rigs.
At 90 points on the unpaved roads
traffic ranged from LA to 500 We
hicles per day, at 108 points from
500 to 1000 rigs, at 10 points
from 1000 to 1900, at nine points

points from 1000 to 5000, and
one unpaved road, No. IL from
Minneapolis to Excelsior, with an
average of $685. per day.
1t is generally admitted that it
is economy to pave any road car
rying more than 500 vehicles per
day." said Commissioner C. M.
Babcock. 'fSince the census tax
ers were, on the average, % miles
apart, the report indicates that we
have 5000 miles unpaved road
which ought to be paved, and 900
miles on which the paving is very
urgent. A road carrying 500 to
1 900 cas- per day can be kept. in
fair to good condition the greater
! part of the year although the cost,
in the long run, is greater than
! paving. But where the traffic ex-
| ceeds 1 900 rigs per day, it is diff
cult to keep the road in good con-
dition any time of the year and the
difference in cost, as compared
with pavement, becomes very
marked.
"We must also consider the
probable growth in traffic in the flu
ture. There has been an increase
of 10 per cent or more each year
since we took the first census in
1921. At most points it is now
more than double what it was
then. There is a car for every
fourth person, but many families
are buying two cars, and tourist
traffic is increasing. The use of
trucks on farms has shown a large
increase in the last year or two,
and this will probably continue UNI
til all except the smallest farms
have trucks.
