Ralph Harmon, assistant to J. M. Anderson; _president of the Equity Co-Operative | exchange, says: “Agitation may be started soon by the chamber of commerce to feel out the state officers who have the enforc- ing of the new law to look after, to see what position will be taken in re- gard to the enforcement of the law. The grain gamblers will want to get a line on the authorities. They will want to find out if they are going to be annoyed. - Unquestionably they . will seek interviews with the gover- nor and the attorney general to feel them out. It is safe to say that the whole thing is a cut and dried matter now and that the grain gamblers do not - fear prosecution -under the law, which to my mind is not going to have any effect.” LS HAVE NOT ASKED FOR- MEMBERSHIP In regard to the Minnesota bill now in effect, passed by the last legisla- ture, ‘which allows farmers’ organ- izations to apply for memberships on the grain exchanges, Mr. Harmon said: s “No farmers’ organization has ap- plied, as yet, for membership on the Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce and there is little likelihood of any doing so immediately. The Equity Co-Operative ‘exchange has not made application and whether it will or not remains for the directors to decide.” A round of the brokerage offices in Minneapolis will not produce one per- son who fears that the Minnesota bill will prevent’ him from gambling in .. Should the bill do so, hun- dreds of men, who sit daily and gam- ble on the market before the board in some broker’s office, would have to go to work. Not one of them is hunting a job. Not one of the brokers is preparing to close up August 1. Yet the law will be effective on and after that date. Will the attorney general seek evi- dence to show that the person who en- ters a brokerage " office and buys “puts” and “calls,” risking as little as a dollar on the future trend of the market, is not gambling? Men now play the market who do not want the grain, and never see the grain, but are there for one purpose—to chance the Goddess of Fortune and attempt to make a “stake.” “STABILIZED” MONEY Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I have been going to figure out a system whereby the producers of wealth could receive the full value of their product, and while my ideas are similar to Irving Fisher’s, and also Thomas Keefe’s, I believe there should be an . established value placed on all neces- sities or commodities to insure the life, liberty and happiness of all the people. If we were to take grain alone as a standard and put a valuation of, say, $2 per bushel on that commodlty without -establishing a fixed value on other commodities, we might find our- selves in a worse predicament than we are in now. For instance, if machin- ery, coal, lumber, oil, clothing and other necessities should advance to 10 times their present value our grain standard alone would be of no use. But, having a commodity standard you ‘would receive -a commodity cer- tificate in relative value to the grain. All basic commodities such as grain, iron, coal, lumber, oil, wool, etc., should be used in fixing* the price of flour, machinery, the different grades of coal, all manufactured articles from lumber, gas, kerosene, petro- leum, clothing; ete.
