was drawn in favor of the shipper or buyer

drawn in favor OF the farmer.
Senator Van Hoesen thought the senator
was mistaken. The senate bill compelled,
warehousemen to guarantee weights anf
grades, which was in the interest of farmers.
Senator Sergeant said the house bill was
more favorable to his section of the state and
farmers got from local buyers and Z cents
more for their grain than at Wadsworth.
Loo 1oll tall-
the basis of farmers storing in warehouses,
whereas nearly ali was sold at the ware
houses.
Senator Wilson thought it was a mistake
that Freeborn county farmers got Is orr cents
more than it was actually worth.
Senator Sergeant said his statements were
true.
Senator Wilson said the theory of the SEN
ate bill was to allow farmers to store and
ship wheat from stations where there was no
competition by guaranteeing an open market.
Senator Houlton said he would prefer to
have the senate bill, but would vote for the
house bill at any time if the senate bill could
not be passed in the house.
Senator Pillsbury took the floor and de-
bated the two bills. He was willing to pass
either of the bills, and wanted the farmers

the way of its passage.
The senate then took up and considered
the senate bill.
The bill was amended in several particu-
lars.

as broad as it ought to be.
Senator Billson offered an amendment

ing information as to private business, and
another that the warehouseman should not
be compelled to weigh the contents OF eleva-
tors and warehouses oftener than once
year.
Senator Wells offered an amendment that
the provisions of the bill should not apply to
warehouses where tickets were not issued.
Senator Wilson SAID the amendment was
destructive of the entire theory of the bill

was adopted there would be no public ware
houses.
The amendment was lost.

of the BILL

section % by making a chief deputy inspec-
tor at the chief wheat markets. Adopted.

mend it to pass.

pending motions that the senate bill be rec
commended 10 pass and that the house bill lie
upon the table. Carried.
