PROPOSALS OF NOTLn DdkOLu TNu-
roads to increase intrastatc cream
shipping charges 10 per cent were
denied by the state railroad board
today.
The railroad board held that the
Great Northern, Northern Pacific
and 500 Line railroads had failed to
justify their petition for the in
crease. The increased tariffs which
previously had been temporarily sus-
pended by the commission were or
dcrcd Cancelled and the proceeding
dism isscd.
In a review Of the testimony the
board held that the present rates arc
reasonable and non-discriminatory
for future application"
The North Dakota case was argued
tion by the Interstate Commerce
for an increase in interstate rates. The
federal body's decision was an
nounced late last fall.
Pointing out that the state rates
are 20 per cent below the interstate
scale, however, the carriers insisted
on their action to increase the state
rates, contending that they should be
brought up to level with the inter
state scale.
Rates Not Proved Unfair
In its decision the commission
pointed out that no showing was
made by the railroads to prove that
the present state rates are unfair
and that they relied almost solely
! on comparison Of rates in effect
here with rates effective elsewhere.
The decision held that the rail-.
roads made mo showing that the
slight difference between state anu
interstate rates imposes burden on
interstate commerce and NO showing
! Of discrimination"
. Four days were consumed by tn.
commission in hearing the case and
the record includes 438 pages of tes
| timony and so exhibits.
Pointing out that the cream bust.
ness of the state has increased from
3,726,374 pounds valued at $873,17i
| $15,164,673 in 1928, the board held
that the increase would be a sub.
stantial burden upon the rapidl;
growing industry. Other statistics
were offered to show that the bulk
of the cream moves between points
I, within the state.
/, Another consideration in the dc.
cision is the fact that the Interststs
! Commerce Commission now 10 carry.

rates on agricultural products and

Young American attorneys. foreign
Iands-more particularly China-pre-
sent fascinating promises OF profes-
sional advancement and the spice of
field in an address at the Phi Delta
Phi Legal Fraternity smoker last
night at te Raleigh Hotel.
Mr.. Penfield reviewed migrations of
various groups of attorneys in Amer
lean history, beginning with the ar
rival of the American Eastern coast
colonies of attorneys from European
countries and their subsequent spread
over the Midwest and finally the West
coast settlements. The first pioneer
lawyers Of the United States became
circuit riders. accompanying the cir
cult judges, Mr.. Penfield recalled.
When at last the United States was
fairly covered" by the legal profes-
sion, the younger attorneys turned
to foreign countries, he said, and to.
day large American corporations are
represented in alien lands by Amer
lean lawyers, who direct offices of ma
tive attorneys for the interests of
their home firms. American lawyers
are holding positions as advisers to
foreign governments, including China,
Haiti. Siam and until recently Japan.
But, while foreign practice may
mean professional advancement and
financial gain, Mr.. Penfield warned
that it means also exile from home.

SHALE OIL DECLARED

Optimistic Reports Concerning
Utah and Colorado Reserves
Reach Wilbur.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Iress.
Optimistic reports concerning the
oil bearing qualities of shale rock in
the Colorado. Utah naval reserve lands
have been received by Secretary
Wilbur.
Inspector w. III. Osgood. in report
dated March -, said experimental
work at the Rulison and Boulder,
Colo, plants indicates that the gas
dimes produced from the shale will
probably be equal to, if not better,
than the present day motor fuels. y
and that "a high quality of Diesal en-
CINE oil'' also will be produced
Regarding tests being made at the
two plants, he said that preliminary
information indicates that due to the
Phermal processing requider. the
crude oil gives good gasoline yields,
Especially as result of so-called crack
ing operations"
'It is believed" he added, that the
topped crude would be available for,
and most nearly approach, the speci-
fications Of naval fuel oil. but it would
be using a material which will have
a high commercial value as cracking
rock. The gasoline produced
will probably be equal to IL not bet
ter than the present day motor fuels.
due to the high percentage of unsat-
urated compounds present, these being
natural anti-knock constituents. Theo-
retically. the gasoline should be ideal
for aviation engines"
In the light of the report, Navy
Department fuel experts regard the
shale reserves with increased impor-
lance as they realize these potential
stores can be tapped whenever shale
oil production becomes economically
sound and efforts to cheaper extrac-
ton processes will be continued.
Another report shows that one ledge
OF shale rock 500 feet thick has been
uncovered, and tests indicate it's oil
content will average from 271s gal
Ions to one barrel per ton of shale.
Other tests designed to show the fit
ness of shale oils for naval fuel uses
will be made.
