The Glass-Steagall bill was the first

FREIGHT INCREASE
State Expert Tells !. c. c
Transportation Burden Al
ready Is Too Heavy

Minneapolis, Jan. 30.-(R-North
Dakota farmers are unable to bear
an additional transportation burden
on their grain to market, declared E
M. Hendricks, traffic expert for the
state railroad commission, In oppos-
ing railroad demands for increased
rates before q hearing Of I. G. G.
examiners here Monday.
The hearings on the application OF
railroads for increased grain rates are
expected to continue for two weeks.
Hendricks submitted exhibits to
show present grain rates are "too
high and should be reduced instead
of increased, but that under any CIR
cumstances no increases should be
made in rates from North Dakota"
Because Of the low farm prices OF
grain, Hendricks testified, North Da-
kota farmers are absolutely" unable
to bear an additional transportation
burden on their grain to market. The
higher rates requested by the car
riers amount to about five million
dollars annual increase in the rates
on grain, grain products and flax
seed from North Dakota to various
terminal points, the expert said.
DR.. Alva Benton, economist Of the
North Dakota Agricultural college
submitted an economic study of the
state, comparing present farm prices
and freight rates with those Of past
periods.

traffic expert, and traffic represent

DEPRESSION DRINKING

In the absence of any definite informa-
ton on the subject, much speculation has
been INDUCED in respecting the effects of
prohibition and the depression upon the
consumption of alcohol and other beverages
by the people of the United States. In
most cases, any estimates made have been
purely guesses.
An interesting sidelight on one phase
of the subject is presented, however. by a
survey recently made by the John r.
Thompson Company relative to the con-
sumption of coffee in the company's res
taurants in Chicago and SO other cities.
The result of the survey, just released
by John r. Thompson, Jr, president of the
corporation, shows that in the mor.h of Oc-
tober it's customers consumed 4,015,320
cups of coffee, or 100.383 pounds. This
compares with 1881 pounds in 1880, be-
fore the depression had seriously affected
the restaurant business.
eff we base our conclusions on past
history" said Mr.. Thompson, 1.-THE change
from prohibition may tend to increase rath-
er than decrease the consumption of eof-
fee, at least in restaurants"
