There was the grain grading department. It is the plan of the railroad com- mission, according to Chairman Mil- hollan, to proceed as rapidly ag fea- sible to carry out the provisions of the law of 1913, reinstated by the ‘supreme court decision holding the grain’ grading act invalid. One of the first. problems of the board is to get funds with which to conduct the in- spection of grain, Mr. Mulhollan said, and in this connection he read to the conference an opinion from the of- fice of Attorney-General Johnson sug- gesting that the emergency commis- sion could order the transfer of funds which were appropriated for the use of the grain grading department and which revert to the general fund as a result of the supreme court deci- ‘Politics to Be Kept Out. It was announced on behalf of the commission, by Chairman Milhollan that it is proposed to conduct the work without regard to politics, with an effort to gain cooperation in the conduct of the work. A letter from O. P. B. Jacobson, chairman of the Minnesota railroad and warehouse commission, offering to lend part of that commission’s force in aiding the North Dakota’ commission to get its ( work started, was read. Mr. Jacobson, in his letter, declared that inspection of grain should pro- perly be with the railroad and ware- house commission, and said that when these duties were performed-in North Dakota by the railroad commission there wag cooperation between Min- nesota, South Dakota, Montana and which he also wag elected at the Far- go convention, he said while here to attend a conference in the offices of the railroad commission. “I probably will resign in the lat- ter part of May or about June 1, be- cause I cannot well serve on the cam- paign committee and be a candidate at the same time,” said Mr, Church. fi murder of Marie Wick, Crygla, Minn., girl. mate.

Mr. de Jong’s help in organizing a la: potato association at Baldwin and a boys’ corn club at Sterling was asked. As soon as the work of handling seed loam applications lets up somewhat Mr. de Jong is going to take up these North Dakota in the work, and espe- cially in presenting jointly matters to the federal authorities at Wash- ington. A new angle as to the effect of the decision in the grain grading case was Drought out by W. C. Palmer, who was inspector. Mr. Palmer said that as grain inspector he was ex-officio inspector and sealer of weights and measures. Since the position of grain inspector was abolished he was de- prived of his other office and the department of weights and measures is left without a head and cannot function. Scale Inspection Wanted. Grain men present had raised the matter of inspection of scales, stat- ing that they desired state supervi- sion. It yas stated that some scales had not “been inspected for three years. Mr. Palmer said that because of shortage of funds the inspectors were just completing their rounds. One question raised by grainmen was the allowance for storage charg- es of 2 cents. This, it was said, is the statutory limit on a large part of the grain stored, and it was maintained «that 6 cents. is a fair charge under present conditions. The railroad com- mission was asked to recommend to the ‘next Jegislature, after study, a revision jof this statute. 2 There was considerable discussion as to the reports which are required by the accounting division, ‘which difference of opinion as to whether elevator men should be required to make monthly, quarterly or annual Jorts, or upon callj;as, bank state- !
