wanted to do mixing business would
have the words private mixing house"
embodied in their receipts and would
have to sell by sample, or If any parties
dealing with them accepted their re-
ceipts they would know that the grain
they would receive would have gone
through the process of drying. ScOur-
ing, cleaning and so on. In short, 1t
would do what the law of 'S5 was in
tended to do; and being deficient 1t has
never been amended until this bill was
introduced.
An amendment offered by Mr.. Cor
man to include st. Cloud in the list OF
terminal points was adopted, and then
Mr.. Barrett moved to substitute House
File SIG for the bill under discussion.
Mr.. Hinrichs supported the Barrett
bill in terSe, well-wOrded speech, and
Mr.. Linuemann took the same view.
Mr.. Cotton didnot believe either OF
the bill would remedy the evil COM
planned of. He asserted that they con-
templated class legislation OF the worst
kind. Legislatures should not interfere
with the conduct of the grain business
any more than with the management OF
any other private business.
Mr.. German said he was pleased to
see the gentleman from st. Louis had
come over to his side, as indicated in
the assertion that the bills embodied
vicious legislation. His impression was
that the price of grain was practically
regulated by Liverpool, but if the .peo--
pie must have legislation OF the KIND
proposed lie favored the Barrett bill.
On vote being taken after tiresome
discussion, Mr.. Cairns, who was in the
chair at the time. put the question OIL
Mr.. Barrett's amendment. 1t was I'M
ouestionablv carried by the viva voce
vote, but the chair said he was i'll doubt.
A standing vote was then taken, and as
only two Republicans, Messrs. Greer
and Briggs, dared to vote for Dill pro-
posed by Democrat, the motion was
declared lost, 81 yeas, Al nays.
Mr.. Cotton offered TWO amendments,
which MIR. jacobson SAID would practl-
cally kill the bill. and they were voted
down. The fiery statesmen from st.
Louis and Lac qui Parle eX changed
some diverting expressions OF opinion on
their respective positions, after which
Mr.. jacobson moved that H. F. 55l be
recommended to pass. Mr.. Cotton
moved to amend that the bill be recom-
mended for indefinite postpOnement.
The amendment was voted down, ana
the motion of Mr.. jacobson prevailed.
The committee then rose, and its re-
port was adopted except as to II. r.
55l. MIR. COmStOck. of Blue Earth,
moved that Ii. f. $40 be substituted for
III. f. 55I. and be recommended to pass.
In the discussion following this mo-
ton Mr:Greer said there was SO much
difference of opinion regarding the two
! bills that he was convinced they should
be sent to the senate together. Incl
dentally he paid well merited tribute
to Mr., Barrett as the best posted man
on the floor on all matters affecting the
grain business. The knowledge OF the
| gentleman from Mcleod was so COM
plete and reliable, his good sense and
! conservatism so apparent, that his bill
! should be treated with the utmost con
| sideration. Let the senate choose
which of these bills it thinks Will Des'
serve the purpose" said Mr.. Greer.
Mr.. Fleming thought such a course
would reflect on the house as not know
| ing its own business and opposed tho
| proposition.
A roll call was demanded on the Com
stock amendment, ard it secured votes
eIfough to prevail, but before the resul
was announced the speaker exercised
his right to vote and several Republl
cars we're induced TO change from yes
10 no." so the motion was lost. Ihel
the report Of the committee was adopted
and Mr.. Jacobson sailed away int
happy dreams. The house adjourned
| TO . a, m. today.
