NO STATE ELEVATORS.

The Supreme Court Declared the Ele-
vator Law Unconstitutional.
ST. PAUL, Jan. 1.-THE supreme court
has handed down its decision in the ele-
vator case of Henry Ripe against The
State Warehouse Commission. The de-
cision reverses the decision of Judge
Willis of the Ramsey county district
court. It was written by Justice Mitch
ell and decides that the state cannot
build an elevator any more than it can
build railroads or any other works for
the internal improvement of the state.
The first point that the court makes is
that the action of the commission is not
constitutional, as the law provides that
''the state shall never contract any
debts for works of internal improve
ment, or be party in carrying on such
works" The contentious of the defend
ant are:
Erst-That the works contemplated
by the act are merely ancillary to the
more effectual exercise by the state of
its police power, to regulate the weigh
ing and inspection of grain stored in
bulk, and to regulate the charges for
storing and handling the same in ware
houses and elevators.
Second-That the elevator and other
works provided for in the act are not
s'works of internal Improvement within
the meaning of the constitution; that
this term refers only to the channels of
travel and commerce, such as roads.
bridges, railways, canals, rivers and the
like. -f
The opinion says that if the state were
allowed to engage in any and every sort
of enterprise, outside of it's legitimate
governmental functions, in times of in
fation and excitement it might not only
be moved to build elevators, but also to
engage in shemes of drainage, irriga-
ton, developing water powers, building
public grist mills, public creameries and
cheese factories, establishing stock yards
and packing houses, and other like en-
terprises without limit.
