For initiating a constitutional | amendment, 20,000 signatures are necessary. The second resolution in- | troduced would raise this figure to 60,000. ‘The proposed change is intended to NEW STORAGE BILL - | OFFERED IN HOUSE Farmers Union Proposal Would Place Two State Agencies in Competition Creation of a new farm storage ac: nesday. The bill is sponsored by the Farm- Crockett said. No provision is made jin it, however, to repeal the present farm storage act. Should it pass. farmers would have the option of two different kinds of state farm storage, Crockett said. The purpose, Crockett said, Is to reduce the cost of storing grain on farms, which now is about 18 or 19 cents per bushel. This bill, in elimi- nating certain bonding requirements and officials, would reduce by one- half the present cost. Administration of the act would be made by the state railroad commission.
