] The points ii which legislation touches
most nearly tho farming interests Of
Minnesota ars the rsgulat lions relating
to the marketing and carriage Of grain.
Whatever co1oe1stons hare been made
by corporate interests in these partiou-
lars, aid whatever safeguards have been
thrown about tho farmers interest, are
toibe credited to tho Republican legis.
latures by which laws were paused, and
to the Republican governors who, in
many instances, originated them, and
in all cases approved them. There was
time when the grain grower Of Min
nesota was wholly at the mercy Of two
combinations, acting usually in har.
mony with each other. The rail-
roads were entirely uncontrolled
in the levying Of freight rates,
and the elevators were equally absolute
in their system Of grading and charges.
The transfer from the regime Of these
two monopolies to the system of Justice,
fair play and q free market, which pre-
walls today, has teen accomplished
under Republican auspices. . ~ II. y
Grain inspection Established.
The inspection and weighing Of grain
ct terminal points has been under con.
troll Of state authority for more than
nine years. The effect of legislation
during that time, and Of the control Of
the railroad and warehouse commission,
has been to establish and maintain q
fair, equitable and uniform system OF
inspection at the terminal points, and
careful and accurate method Of weigh.
ing. This system, applicable only to
the central markets, seeming to be in
sufficient. there was enacted by the last
legislature, in 1893, a law to extend the
supervision and authority Of the COM
mission to the local markets Of the
state, where, as rule, the farmer most
needs protection.
The Country Elevator Law.
Under this, known as 1.-THE Country
Elevator Law" all warehouse men on
the railroad right Of way must be duly
licensed, operate under the commission
and make sworn reports. Disputes at
country elevators are referred to the
