increased class freight rates between
points in the state will be held at Mi

and Fargo March II. the state rail-

The hearings were to be held this

on a level with the rates ordered by
the Interstate Commerce Commission

came effective last December
It Is claimed by the state commits
sion that If the interstate class rate
scale is applied to interstate traffic
it will result in substantial increase
in the short haul rates but would
provide some small reductions on long

shipments.

Tillage Increases
Alfalfa Production

Hettinger. N. D., Feb. 22.-(P)eA-
falfa tillage experiments conducted at
the Hettinger Satisfaction during .
four-year period show that cultiva-
ton brought about 28.1 per cent in
crease in the production In hay. A
considerable reduction In weeds also
was shown, c. H. Plath, superintend-
ent. said.
Plath said a similar experiment
started last spring on more recent
seeding which includes So plots pro-
duced 1912 per cent more hay than
plots not cultivated.
A significant difference in quality
Of hay in the two methods under trial
was observed by Plath, with q consid-
cradle reduction in weeds on the cul-
tivated area. Russian thistles. es-
pecially thick last season, increased
the hay weights where there was no
cultivation, Plath pointed out, thus
giving an undue advantage in yield
to those plots. A thick stand Of pep
per grass was eliminated on the cul-
tivated plots.
A spring tooth harrow cutting
three to four inches in depth with a
stiff tooth harrow following to smooth
the surface was used in the expert
mental cultivating. The work was
done in early spring and again i'm
mediately after the first crop of hay
was removed.

n. D. MEN RETURN
FR0MRATE HEARING
Advocate Complete Basis Of
Joint Through Lake and
Rail- Rates

A comE:cte basis OF joint through
lake and rail rates to and from North
Dakota, comparable with those that
may be prescribed for the Twin Cities
and Duluth, was advocated by repre-
sentatives of the North Dakota rail-
road commission at hearings at Chi
cago and Duluth.
Ben G. Larkin, chairman of the
state commission, and E. M. Hen
bricks, traffic expert, who appeared
at the hearing, said on their return
here that the state commission will
file brief, appear in further oral
argument and will generally partici-
pate in the case to conclusion.
The hearing was conducted before
two special examiners of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission at Chi
cago and Duluth during the last
month.
Larkin and Hendricks, assisted by
representatives Of the Fargo Cham
Der of Commerce, the Greater Grand
Forks Traffic association, and dairy
products shipping interests. submit
ted exhibits and oral testimony in
favor of the joint through rates from
North Dakota.
The case is of particular Importance
to creameries in the state because of
the large number of carloads moving
to eastern points through Duluth and
over the lakes at a material saving in
freight charges over the all-rail rate.
Members Of the commission said
the west-bound rates are of outstand-
ing Importance because of the large
amount Of tonnage moving during the
period Of open navigation at a mater
ial saving under the all-rail rates.
Hearings were arranged by the I.
c. c., when reductions in the lake
and rail rates were published to be-
come effective Dec. 3, 1881, the same
day on which the all-rail rates were
reduced. Suspension of the publish
ed lake and rail rates were ordered by
the I. c. c. on petition of the Twin
Cities. Duluth and South Dakota,
pending an investigation of their
reasonableness.

days, Edgar Wick said he saw many
minors drunk before the days Of pro-
hibitiOn.
Now. keeper Of saloon in those
days was required to purchase $500
license. If such keeper was caught
selling liquor to minors, his license
was revoked and he was prohibited
from operating another saloon. Where
there Is no informer there Is no law,
and I am at loss to know where
Edgar Wick or some of the older Vicks
were when this law violation was in
| progress.
This leads me to believe that Wick
and all the citizens in the said COM
munity were poorly read up on the
Minnesota state laws.
Furthermore, Wick has not pointed
out what good prohibition has accom-
plished for this country or the tax
payers therein. The lad from Steele
is "harping' on the $4,000 salary the
head of the vets Is getting. This UNI
dcubtedly does not interfere with his
or my pocketbook. Why doesn't he
tell us about the countless millions
the government is spending on salar-
les for those booze hounds and all
others connected with the same?
Prohibition is a failure and spells
ruination for the entire nation.
Who pays taxes under this 18th
amendment? The farmer Is one. The
newspaper man is another. The la
borer, If he owns his house, pays his
taxes If he rents, he also pays the
taxes for, when taxes go up, land
lords slap" the increase on rents.
The local business man adds 1t to the
price of his goods and so on down the
line. But the poor farmer comes in
last of all. All he can do is ask what
you will give him and he pays his
taxes without murmur. More than
that, he pays taxes on property which
belongs to the American bankers.
Wouldn't it be far better If the wet
laws were prevailing in this nation
and each. state owned and operated
their cwn distilleries? They could
pay to the government revenue Of
80 cents per gallon on whisky and 81
barrel on beer
This system could be operated in
state-owned distributing houses by
heavily-bonded employees. The state
could limit each family. according to
Its size, to certain amount or liquor
per month Then if man was fool
enough to drink it all in one day. he
would go the rest of the month with
out.
Under such system, everyone who
took drink would be on the tax list.
This would help take the greater
weight of the tax burden from the
shoulders upon which it is resting
now and would knock the lawless
bcotlegger out of business.
The bootlegger is plucking the
people and reaping a large profit
throughout the entire nation.
If such system were perfected and
put into effect. there is no doubt in
my mind but what Mutt and jeff
would become the states largest tax
payers.
I remain yours.

Evading the Minnesota
Automobile Tax Is Costly


Minnesota>nas been liberal in
granting visitors exemption and
reciprocity permits to residents of
other states who motor to Mime

by persons not entitled to them may
prove costly. A State Highway bull
letin cites case where attempted
evasion Of the Minnesota motor We
hicle tax brought a sentence of
six months in Jail or fine Of $500
and costs.
The case concerned a resident of
Moorhead who after spending sew
eral months in Chicago, returned
to his parental home with car
bearing Illinois license plates. He
ignored warnings and a ticket from
the Minnesota Highway patrol, di-
recting him to get Minnesota Ii
cense, and obtained a reciprocity
permit, making AFFIDAVIT that he
was a resident of Illinois. He was
then arrested by the patrol, and
released on bail to await trial at
the district court.
The trial lasted four days, but it
only took the jury 20 minutes to
bring in a verdict of guilty. Testi-
mony showed he did not pay rent,
vote, or in any other way establish
residence in Illinois. Corroborat-
ing this was his own affidavit, in
an application for hunting Ii
cense, that he had been a resident
of Minnesota the last four years.
Besides the sentence for evasion of
the motor vehicle tax, he faces an
indictment for perjury, on the cal
