‘To be Located at State Agri- GRAIN GRADE DEPARTMENT cultural College After ‘ December 12 - UNCERTAIN SUIT IS ¥ Offices of the Grain Department of the state railroad commission, established hpte several months ‘ago under existing laws after the grain grading act was held uncon- stitutional by the United \States, Supreme court, will be moved to the | Agricultural College at Fargo with- in the next few weeks, the law initi=| ated in the recent election requir- ing such action on ‘or before Dec. 8, 1922. Because of the absence of members of the railroad commis- sion, however, two of whom are in Washington, no definate action hes yet been taken, The grain department as at pre- sent conducted will be superseded entirely under the new act, which provides that “all acts or parts of | acts: in conflict with any of the pro- visions this act are hereby expressly repealed.” This feature of the ipiti- ated law was regretted by officials of the present department because | it appeared to thém that should a/ court attack be launched on the new initiated law and it be declared un-! constitutional, there would be no grain, weights and measures law of any kind in the sthte. No hint has been received here of any possible attack on the initiated law, although the solicitor of the United, States Department af Agri- culture gave a formal opinion in which he held the initiated measure! in some respects in conflict with existing federal laws and invalid. It is generally expected here that Ole Lund, now head of the grain department of the railroad commis- sion, will be named State -Superviser of Grades, Weights and Measures, a position created by the new law, al- though J. A.“MecGovern, former manager of the state mill and ele- vator association, has“ been reported as a candidate for the positior, Un- der the new law the state syperviser is appointed ky the state \railroad commissioners for a term af four years at a salary of $3,600 a year,| and the superviser is given unlimit- ed power in the appointment of aides. to carry out the provisions of the law. | Apparently the control of the railroad commission does not | extend beyond the appointment of the superviser. The initiated measure, which carried the last election, provides | among other things that the state superyiser ‘of the college shall be at his stance; that, the super- viser shall establish grades, weights ; and. measures, the grain grades to be the same as those established by the United States Department of Agriculture; that dockage shall not be retained without , compensation, | that the superviser shall license all persons engaged in buying and sell- ing grain with power of revocation, that public warehouses shall be licensed, and that the superviser shall adopt rulecs to prevent -un- reasonable margins of profit. The initiated measure appropriates $10,- ,000 and all fees of the department “to be used in carrying out the pro- visions of the law. he initiated measure becomes ef- fective 30 days after the election. The state canvassing board meets; December 5 and will have_canvassed | the vote within the 30-day period. ASK A REFUND FOR USERS OF ELECTRICITY <Continued from Page One) the company filed a new Schedule of steam rates. These rates became legil because\ they were not suspended by the railroad commission. On June 30. 1920, the commission rendered a de- |, cision on the case before it and es- tablished a schedule of rates. On August 20 .a new schedule was filed by the utility. On September 4, 1920, two members of the commission caus-. ed an order to be suspended for 120 days. The Hughes Electric company | ignored the order and the utility put | its rates into effect, according to the | commission’s review. The case was | heard in the Burleigh county dis- trict court on an action to restrain the utility. The case was heard Nov. 22, 1920, and an order of dismissal handed 4own, on Nov. 22, 1920, the court holding that the order was not properly issued. | The company continued to charge | the rates. On January 8, 1921, a pe tition was filed alleging extortionate rates were being charged. A hearing was held on January 29, 1921. %n February 14 the commission held the present rates legal ‘but ordered an investigation. Hearing was held April | 1, 1921..This continued until, April 26. In an order of May 31, 1921, the STRAIGHTEN THAT BENT BACK No need to suffer from that tired, dead ache in your back, that lame- ness, those distressing urinary dis- orders. Bismarck people have found how to get relief. Follow this Bis- marck resident’s example. Mrs. J. B. Saylor, 309 Mandan Ave., says: “From the experience I have had with Doan’s Kidney Pills I can safely recommend them for disordered .kidneys. I had an attack some time ago and my. eyes would smart and my back ached and bother- edSme a great deal. My kidneys didn’t act regularly, either. I began using Doan’s Kidney Pills and they were not long in relieving my trou- ble.

Records Destroyed The order issued in the.case states | that lawyers for the Hughes Electric | company and the petitioners agreed | on the value of the company’s prop- | erty, as follows: construction cost of property, $355,484.00; . working | capital $15,000; other values $39,- 516,00, total $410,000, The commission’s decision say: “From the above figures it will be | seen ,that~ counsel. for all interested | parties have accepted the figures found by the commission to repre-. sent the fair value of the physical property of the utility” The com- the sum total of the first two fig- | ures above given, or $370,484, 9 | which it fixed rates. In .its first investigation the com: | mission did not have records for the’! company since its organization.

When cemceiiations are made the land reverts to the state. It is plan- ned to lease the lands next spring | for cash rental, according :0 the commissioner, so that school dis-| tricts of the state may realize from} the receipts. The actton As necessary, acccrding to the commisioner, because cf the great amount of delinquencies and the difficulties many school districts are in as a result of failure to re- reive usual allotments from the com- mon school fund. The delinyuency on land contracts and farm loans! totals a-million and a half dollars, he states. Many of the school dis- tricts have issued all the registered | warrants they are permitted te issue, have bonded to the limit and are us-| keep | ing their sinking funds to schools open, the land comin said. While the board reg take the action, he said, it is forced to do so. The proposed cancellations, it was added, will be made on those who have been delinquent for some years. The board also will foreclose on land on which interest. on farm loans has not been paid for years, he said. A campaign for collection of money due on land cotnracts and interest launched last July resulted in the collection of a considerable amount of money, it was stated. | S TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY FOR SALE—Modern jhouse, conven- iently located.
