Special Truck Study

A special study Of the amount of
Ignite, sand, and gravel moving by
truck in North Dakota is under way

state railroad commission to deter
mine what action should be taken
to have the railroads cancel an ero-
Urgency charge Of six cents per net

To previous efforts Of the commits
sion to have the railroads cancel the
charge on the grounds that the In
crease was driving the business to the
trucks, especially for the short hauls,
the carriers replied they are not In

charge, the commission reported.
The railroads also declined to can.

fields has had a terrific struggle to
remain open and operating. It's stock
Is owned almost entirely by North
Dakota farmers, ranchers and small
business men. They bought this stock
not only In the hope OF some profit
to themselves thereby. but also with
the greater idea and higher ideal Of
doing something for our own state

benefit the whole state by using some

Although through the several years
since this stock was sold, none has
received q cent Of dividends, yet all
remain boosters for this North Da-
kota concern. It still survives. No
stockholders have been squeezed out.
and It Is refreshing to know that
their faith still holds. The thought
Is cherished that yet dividends will
come.

One OF the latest trends in bust

The answer to this peculiarly mod

found in the fact that people usually
