The report was received
WHEAT GRADING ELEVATORS, y
II. G.. Palmer of Marshall, read the report @
the committee on wheat grading and elevators,
as follows.
We find, after thoroughly investigating the
present system of wheat grading that it is q
farce and q cheat, because it does not express
the true value of wheat, and eariches the few
to the detriment of the many.
The right usqrped by railroads
to establish minimum capacity and
kind of equipment Of elevators is contrary to
public policy and calculated to destroy indie
pendent competition in the grain market We
recommend a free and open market for ouF
products, and that railroads shall receive and
deliver such products TO any point the shipper
may desire on the line of their roads. Werec-
omnend a state inspectc-, appointed by the
supreme court or our governor, TO regulate a
system Of graduation of the true value of wheat,
aseertained by chemical analysis. We recon-
men and believe the only way to redress these
grievances is by Legislation.
