Great Northern Line Seeks 43
Per Cent Reduction in
1893 Taxes

Fargo, N. D., Oct. 3.-(P)-Principal
factors responsible for bringing about
decreases in the earning power of rail-
roads in recent years were cited BY
P. B. Beidelman. head of the freight
traffic department of the Great North
ern railroad, on the witness stand in
federal court here Tuesday as trial OF
an action got under way in which the
railroad seeks to have its 1888 taxes
reduced:
They are, he said:
Trucking and other modes of trans
portation including pleasure cars and
air travel.
Increased use of the Panama canal
in hauling freight.
Diversified farming.
Pipe lines installed by large gas and
petroleum concerns.
Rules and regulations of the inter-
state commerce commission reducing
freight rates on many commodities
Beidelman testified that under nor.
NAL prosperous conditions the Great
Northern railroads operating income
could not be more than $50 100000 !
year with its entire system. This, HI
said would be $39, o00,0 900 less than the
operating income Of 1929, the peak
year.
The Great Northern seeks to have
its 1888 taxes reduced 43 per cent
maintaining its property is worth not
more than 81 per cent Of the value
placed on it by the state board Of
equalization. The railroad already has
paid go per cent OF its 1888 tax and
seeks now to have the court declare
the tax paid in full.
Approximately 100000 is involved
In the action.
F. G. Dorety, st. Paul. and c. J
Murphy, Grand Forks, represent the
railroad. while P. O. Satire, attorney
general, and Harold d. Shaft, Grand

GOVERNOR SUSPENDS
PENALTY FOR LATE
CAR REGISTRATIONS
Moratorium Enacted Principal.
" for Benefit Of Farmers
Hauling Products

Penalties for late automobile regis
trations, including trucks used by
farmers in hauling farm products
were temporarily suspended by procla-
nation Of Gov. Ole H. Olson Wednes-
day.
The moratorium on auto registra-
ton penalties, expiring early January
1885, affects only residents OF the
state. Commercial trucks, cars and
trailers, however, are excluded.
Olson calls attention that farmers
have need for trucks and cars at this
time in supplying themselves with
feed for livestock, transportation to
shipping points and "other useful and
necessary acts In preparing for win
ter"
The proclamation states that laws
providing for penalty Of ten cents j
day and two dollars q month for late
auto registration were enacted in nor
NAL times land did not contemplate
the present situation"
Conditions are SUCH" the procla-
nation says, that little or no net in
come Is being attained by the state
from the sale Of automobile licenses
a. this time because OF the fact that
many Of our citizens have been and
now are unable to pay such penalties
although now able to buy the regular
licenses.
Lesser Of Two Evils
1T is common knowledge that many
farmers and others are operating
their trucks and cars for the neces-
sary purposes choosing to evade
the law relating to car licenses rather
than to suffer other evils which they
deem greater"
The governor ordered "for the pur-
pose Of promoting the general welfare
by enabling those to utilize more fully
our resources, avoiding violations Of
law and threatened disturbances II
the public peace" that payment Of
registration penalties be suspended
until the first Monday in January
1885.
The partial holiday is declared
