OF NORTH DAKOTA! Lear the Truth about the State On June 24th the farmers and the other citizens of the state will have opportunity to reject House Bill No. 7 passed at the last session of the legislature. On petition of more than 12,000 citizens — largely livestock growers—the proposed law has been referred to the voters. i us retended reasons for the Bill will not hold water. The scales used at livestock markets in the state are subject to state inspec- tion and federal inspection. The men who do the weighing are licensed by and bonded to the state. All that the proposed law can add to this is to have the state pay the salaries of the weighers — and that of course means thé live. st b feeducers will have new taxes or new ie ides e tele Burden : tading of livest y @ state-paid em; would not necessarily add 1 to oe price of ie stock, A state grader couldn’e fix the price.
