Increase in Rates


Cities or Duluth has had q direct
effect on the retail price adjustment
to the benefit of the consumer Of such
commodities as automobiles, imple-
ments, tires, in fact nearly every
thing the consumer has 10 buy. Also
they have benefited the producer In
that he can get better prices for such
farm products as butterfat and poul-
try.
"The distributors. shippers and
consumers of this state fully realize
the importance Of the railroads" he
said. I'VE also realize the part they
have taken In the development Of our
state. We desire to have them oper-
ate in an efficient manner and to re-
ceive a fair return for their services
rendered, but we do feel that any
increase in rates should not be made
effective in North Dakota unless SIM
liar and proportionate increases are
made in other sections. To single
our state out for special increases not
made equally applicable to the Twin
Cities and Duluth would only be the
means Of retarding any development
for the state"
