FARM BUREAU FIGHTS
RAIL RATE INCREASE

Through President j. F. Reed, Sec
rotary j. S. Jones, and other officers,
the Minnesota Farm Bureau Fedora
ton during the present week is max
ing a determined fight against pro-
posed railroad grain and livestock
rate increases, in a hearing at Mime
apolis before representatives of the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
This hearing on grain rates in the
Western Trunk Line Territory was
called on the Interstate Commerce
Commissions 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 rat
es on agricultural products includ-
ing livestock, are too high.
The hearing opened at Minneapo-
lis Thursday and will continue for a
period of two weeks or more.
The carriers are seeking at these
hearings to establish their conten-
ton that the farmers can stand a
thirty-fOur per cent increase In
freight rates.
The Farm Bureau officials, on the
other hand, have submitted brief and
oral arguments to show that instead
of an increase, the Interstate Com
merce Commission should at this time
put into effect an eight per cent de-
crease in rates on agricultural pro-
ducts.

TAKE STEPS TO GET u. P. r. MEN
RHODES SCHOLARSHIPS.

Soon it may possible for graduates of
the University of Porto Rico to go to Ok
ford as Rhodes scholars. The faculty Of
the university is taking the necessary
measures toward finding out whether
Rhodes scholarship can not be extended
to students OF the local institution.
Every year a selected number Of ex-
ceptional American university. students
are sent to England for advanced study
at Oxford University. Under the present
arrangement, two students are chosen
from each state in the Union. These
students are chosen for their qualities of
intellect, general character, and physical
vigor. The emphasis is placed on scholar
ship. An allowance is given them by
the Rhodes Scholarship Commission to
cover all or part of their tuition and ex.
penses abroad.
Under the present arrangement, no
provision is made for Porto R.can stu
dents, since the island is not a state.
1t is thought however, that an excep-
ton may be made, or that Porto Rico
may be included with some state, as the
District of Columbia is included with
Maryland. PORTO Rico Progress.
