forces III 0g1ting the proposed In
crease. Statistics bxBed on the sched-
ules proposed In the tentative report
to the interstate commerce commits
sion by its examiners. show that tho
new rates would cost North Dakota
millions Of dollars a year. Other
Northwest states would suffer In pro-
portion to the amount Of grain raised.
Since the new schedules are pro-
posed only tentatively. the state COM
missions will have m opportunity to
file briefs and present arguments
against them. The railroad board
and attorney generals office propose
to fight to the last ditch In an effort
to prevent the proposed rates from
being approved by the Interstate
commerce commission. They can
not become effective except BY the
commissions order.
