Price, $68, KETS BY THE RAILWAY CONSTRUCTION } Answer Explains The legislative assembly of North Dakota, some time previous to its ad- journment, adopted a concurrent reso- lution which was transmitted to the Minnesota legislature, in which certain complaints or charges were made re- garding the grain inspection laws of Minnesota. The Minnesota legislature was requested to change or amend the laws so as to remove the alleged evils complained of. In reply the Minnesota legislature adopted a concurrent resolution which denied the charges and declined to make any changes in the Minnesota laws. The Minnesota resolution said in part: There has never been any opposition on the part of any legal authority of this state to the establishment of an “equitable grain inspection law at Superior, Wis.,” nor any attempt to prevent a competitive market at that place. The Minnesota inspection and weighing laws are considered by the grain trade to be the best and most ef- ficient laws of their kind in vogue. Minnesota inspection and weighing certificates are accepted the world over as prima facie evidence of what they stand for. The laws have proved themselves acceptable to the grain producers of this and other states, and no complaint has been re ceived from any other state. et Minnesota grain hospitals, or mixing houses, have improved the condition of hundreds of thousands of bushels of Minnesota and North Dakota wheat, and it follows that the owner of such a mixing house is entitled to a just re- ward for his labor, and this he receives in the higher price which he obtains for the better grade of grain that he has established. The business is per- fectly legitimate from a legal and com- mercial standpoint: No mixing of grain is permitted in any of the public terminal elevators of this state. There is nothing in the Minnesota laws that prevents the erection and operation of terminal elevators by any person so disposed. Evidence submitted to the legisla- ture shows that the suction draft, so- called, does not in a material manner affect the weight of grain and the dockage taken. A subcommittee in- spected this process in actual opera- tion. The removal of grain from a car was viewed from the time the doors were opened until the contents were deposited in the hopper scales at the top floor of the elevator. From this ear, weighing 63,090 pounds, there was collected, a total waste of four pounds and seven ounces. There would be very little dockage to account for if the grain was cleaned before it was loaded for shipment. The Minnesota dockage of grain is applied under the most liberal rules to the shipper, who is given the benefit of the doubt as tc the amount of dockage to be taken. The average dockage per bushel for wheat for ten years in this state was 19.8 ounces. The system of car inspection for “pad-order” cars stands in the front rank of all such inspection systems. A congress held in Chicago in De- cember, 1906, adopted a standard of uniform grades for grain, which are practically the official grades now in force in this state. A delegate conven- tion held in London, England, recently, approved the Manitoba and Minnesota inspection of grain, to the exclusion of any other system. Accompanying the Minnesota reso- | lution was a detailed description show- ing how the work is performed under {the Minnesota law. It says in part: When a carload of grain reaches the terminal market it is placed by the railroad company upon special tracks, called “inspection tracks,” which are | provided in each railroad yard. A state sampler first takes the rec- ord of the car number and _ initials, |and also records the number of the | seal that he breaks in order to enter the car. He then takes a hollow brass tube, called a “probe,” and by plung- jing this probe down through the grain to the bottom of the car in several | places he secures a fair sample of the ‘grain throughout the whole load. The sampler then re-seals the car and |keeps a record of the state seal ap- | plied. | A sample of the grain is also taken |by a chamber of commerce sampler, which is given to the consignee of the car. The sample obtained by the state sampler is then taken to the state in- | spection office, where under a proper light it is carefully inspected by ex- pert inspectors. The grade and dock- age, if there is any dockage, is then determined by means of apparatus adapted to the work, consisting of fine- ly adjusted scales and sieves of differ- ent kinds. If the shipper or the consignee is not satisfied with either grade or dock- age on the car in question, it is his privilege to call for a reinspection. The case is then carefully reviewed by the chief deputy inspector or the as- sistant chief deputies. In case the parties interested are still dissatisfied, an appeal can be called for, which means that the merits of the case would then be considered by the state board of appeals, a board of three members. The grade and dockage as determined by them is final. The rules that govern the grading and dockage of grain are established at the beginning of each grain year by the members of the board of appeals, Se "Millie ieee ee e 2 RS MINNESOTA STICKS TO GRAIN LAW North Dakota Legislature’s Request for Changes Is Re- fused and Charges Are Denied—Minnesota’s Grain Inspection Laws of That State. consisting of six members, three at Minneapolis and three at Duluth. Another particular duty. of the in- spection department during their work in the railroad yards is to make an examination of each car of grain for any leaky conditions that might exist. When the grade and dockage has been finally determined, a certificate of inspection is issued. Again the car load of grain comes under the direct supervision of the state department, for the state weigh- er at once makes a careful examina- tion of the car to detect any bad ordor condition, and a most complete record is made of any such condition found. At the large elevators in the system where the weighing is done on hopper scales in the cupola, two men are em- ployed, one being stationed up stairs where the weighing is done, and the other man supervises the handling of the grain down stairs. After the examination of the car has been completed and the seal record se- cured, the car is placed at the unload- ing pit, where by means of powerful steam shoyels the grain is unloaded. It is elevated directly to the garner, which is the large receiving hopper lo- cated just above the scale hopper. After the scale has been properly bal- anced and closed, the grain is drawn down from the garner into the scale hopper. The grain is then carefully weighed py the state weigher, and the original entry of weight is made according to law in the record book provided for the purpose. He then takes a specially arranged ticket, and by means of the type-regis- tering device with which all scales are equipped on which state weights are given he obtains a type-printed record. Since an incorrect record cannot ve obtained from the type-register, pro- vided it is not actually out of order, it is practically impossible for error to enter into the work of weighing under the present system. However, no man would assert that mistakes cannot possibly be made in some part of the operation, for as long as man is infallible an error will occa- sionally occur. Another check upon the work is the fact that all through the weighing op- eration the state weigher has not been alone in the work, for the mill or ele- vator weigher has been present all the time, and as a result two men are en- abled to compare their work and fig- ures as an extra precaution against mistakes. When the shipper of a car load of grain obeys the law by placing a card in the car giving the shipping weight, an immediate investigation is made if there is an apparent discrep- ancy between the state weight and shipping weight. Where track scales are used instead of hopper scales, the loaded car is un- coupled from all other cars, placed upon the scale platform and weighed. Then, when the grain has been unload- ed, the empty car is weighed to obtain the tare weight. his tare weight is de- ducted from the gross weight to deter- A complete rec- mine the net weight. ord of the work is k in hopper scale weighing, work checked by the type-registering device previously mentioned. The state weighing department thoroughly investigates all claims that arise in the work, and no effort is con- sidered too great if in the end a just settlement can be obtained. The state stands as an arbitrator between the seller and buyer; it treats both with équal fairness; it is disin- terested as to the financial interest in- yolved, its only care being to see that justice is done. The state weighers who do the weigh- ing are each under a substantial se curity bond of $5,000, and while they are thus held liable for the results uf their work, still they are wholly inde- pendent, not knowing to whom a sin- gle car of grain belong which they weigh, and they also know that the tenure of their office is not dependent upon the good or ill will of mill or ele- yator people at whose industries they might be stationed. A close supervision is kept over all the scales on which state weights are given, and this work does not mean or- dinary care in the use of the scales, { put means a complete and severe test up to full capacity of every scale in the system. At the state weighmaster’s office an official certificate of weight is issued bearing upon its face the car number, initial, contents and state weight, to- gether with the time and place of weighing. This certificate is stamp- ed with the seal of the office of the state weighmaster and forms the basis of settlement between seller and buyer in the matter of weight. Another very important branch of the state weighing service is the sys- tem of watching or patrol, whereby the ears loaded are continually watched while going through the terminal yards to detect any leaking conditions that might exist, as well as to guard against pilferage.
