D. L. Kelley, Rate Expert,
Outlines Situation in
Grain Belt of North

KANSAS CITY (By the Asauci-
ated Press) The great, grain belt
of the northwest Is paying its full
share of transportation costs, and
further Increases would .work
hardship on the farmer, 11. I.. Kel-
ley. rale expert of the Soulb Da
kota railroad ' commission, testl
fled al Hie Interstate commerce
commission freight rate . lienring
here. (
.Mr. Kelley furnished tt report on
the grain rate situation In ) the
northwest, particularly North Da
kota and Houth Dakota.
"1 believe the railroads would be
hurling themselves by Imposing
still furl hcr'ndvunees In their grain
rates, from the Dakotas. consider
ing the unusually high ratea Ihey
are already charging. If th" rail
roads must have additional rev
enue lu their grain traffic, the
burden should be placed on 1 lie
truffle moving from districts closer
lo the markets. The long haul
rates are already too high." -
' Mr. Kelley declared the. average
ear mile earnings on wheat ship
ped from South Dakota overages
k:i per cent more than In 1!)1), and
tbut the car mile earnings on corn
are 71.7 per cenl nigner. .
J-:ainlligH rllKb,
Tbe present rates on wheal lo
tin rf,'tbK---iind Milwaukee mar
kets yield mi Uveruge car mile or
more than tr, cents for long hauls.
In l!IIO the average wbeut. earn
ings were only -& centa. 'itie-enrn-
Ings on all grains. Including wheat,
corn,, birrli-y iinu nox,. average
about 4:t rents u cur mite on a

The Indiscriminate variations ex
isting at slate lines. Mr. Kelley lie.
cluied, should be leveled oTf. and
that other adjustments should be
made In Ihe rules throughout the
west, so that the rrclghl burdens
would be more evenly distributed.
