North Dakota Man Testifies in
Opposition to Jump in
Freight Charges

Kansas City, Mo-, May 25.-(P)-E
M. Hendricks, traffic expert of the
North Dakota railroad commission
testified before Interstate Commerce
commission examiners Wednesday IL,
the reopened grain rate investigation
that increases proposed by the rail-
roads are in some instances 1913 per
cent higher than they were in 1914
The present rates, he said. arc ap-
proximately so per cent higher than
the 1914 rates.
Ben c. Larkin, president Of the
state commission, who Is in charge of
the presentation Of the grain case
for North Dakota, on examination of
Hendricks, brought out a comparison
of former. present and proposed rates
Hendricks submitted 10 exhibits
showing rate and statistical studies
of grain products, rail movement
rate operation and traffic analyses
on wheat. barley, rye, flaxseed and
other grains grown in North Dakota
and shipped to Minneapolis and
Duluth.
Certain statistical exhibits showed
in detail the tonnage of wheat and
other grain originated in North Da-
kota for a period of nine years.
Wheat constitutes approximately
so per cent of the total tonnage orig
mated by the railroads in North Da-
kota," Hendricks testified. Coarse
grains and flaxseed account for ap-
proximately 20 per cent more of the
total tonnage. Products of agricul-
ture are by far the most important
tonnage originated by the North Da-
kota carriers"
Hendricks submitted an exhibit
showing rate studies from selected
points in North Dakota to Minneap-
oils and increases in rates made on
grain for period beginning March
Is to date. He said the proposed
rates, In some instances, would be so
per cent higher than the, rates in
1914, while in some instances, they
would be 1913 per cent higher.
Statement Shows Increases
A statement was presented by
Hendricks showing incre asses in
freight charges on grain from North
Dakota to Minneapolis, proposed by
the railroads, and was based on the
annual average production of the
years, 1929. 1880 and 1881. This ex-
hibit showed that If the rates pro-
posed by the carriers were allowed
to 60 into effect the average increase
would be approximately $4,000 900
yearly on wheat, coarse grains and
flaxseed.
Hendricks said it was his opinion
that rates on grain are already too
high, that the carriers have failed to
justify any increases and that 1t is
unfair to charge exhorbitant rates on
grain to make up deficits due to loss
In other traffic. He called attention
to an exhibit by DR.. Alva H. Benton
Of Fargo showing the condition of
agriculture in North Dakota and said
the farmers are not in q position to
pay increased freight rates on grain.
Further exhibits and testimony in
the case will be presented bv the
North Dakota commission at a hear
ing to be held in Minneapolis at a
later date. The state commission.
President Larkin said, will file briefs
and make oral arguments in OPPOSE

HOOVER CAMPAIGN
MAY FOLLOW LAST
Way Already Opened for
Staging Notification Cere-
monies at PaIo Alto.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
The campaign of President Hoover
for reelection probably will send him
over the same paths that he followed
in 1928.
The way already has been opened
for staging the notification ceremonies
at Palo Alto. He now is expected to
spend most of his Summer in WASH
ington and some of his friends and ad-
visers believe he will travel across the
country again at the end of the cam
paign to vote in his home precinct on
the Stanford University campus.
The opportunity for him to step
easily into the colorful setting that
saw his formal notification four years
ago was presented him several months
ago In the form of an invitation to
open the Olympic Games at Los Angeles
late in July.
Would Be Near Home.
This would place him within an
overnight ride Of his old home at Palo
Alto Just a week or so before the date
Of his 1928 notification ceremony. There
are no leases or impediments which
would prevent his occupying it for a
few weeks. He has not been there
since November, 1928. when he left for
his trip to South America shortly after
his election.
There are many reasons to expect
that the Chief Executive will yield to
the desire to visit his old home again
and launch his campaign for reelection
on the ground that saw him start his
quest for the presidency the first time.
Four years ago he gave his first broad
exposition of his views Of the issues in
volved in a speech in the huge Stanford
Stadium, formally accepting the nomi
nation.
Pressure of Business.
A short time later he came back to
Washington, where he remained
throughout the campaign except for
brief excursions into the East and
South. The pressure of public business
this year might cause him to return to
Washington to spend most OF his time
during the struggle for reelection In
the same vicinity from which he direct
ed his 1928 campaign
There Is some talk among Repub-
licans of establishing headquarters in
Chicago from which to direct their DO
litical activities next Fall. This, how
ever, would have no effect on the loca-
ton of their candidate.
In concluding his 1923 campaign, Mr..
Hoover Travelled across the continent to
vote.
