A PRACTICAL LETTER.
The Subject of Farmers' Warehouses
The Advantages and the Draw
backs.

The Subject of farmers Warehouses
The Advantages and the Draw
backs.
To the Editor:
In your last issue I read letter from
Mr. Vermilya in regard to building small
warehouses by local Alliances all through
the state. On the surface, this idea seems
to be a good one but is it practicable?
The farmers have had an elevator here
for six years, and it has worked admira-
bly,; the only thing we regret is that we
did not build it large enough. 1t holds
1000 bushels; it ought to hold $1,000 The
big line companies can no more run out
house of this kind than a little fiat house,
if it is run on business principles. Besides
this. we have law on our statute books,
passed two years ago, known as "the ad-
ministration bill,'' which compels all own
ers of elevators or fiat houses located on
the railroad company's right of way, to
take out a license, and then they can be
operated only as prescribed by rules and
regulations issued by the railroad commits
sion. Such elevators or warehouses have
to be kept open every every day during
reasonable business hours from the 18th Of
September to the 18th of January. 1t is
plain to see that by this law any ware
houses cannot be operated upon the plan
described by Mr.. Vermilya unless the law
is changed in this regard
The only way the plan outlined by Mr..
Vermilya can operate is to build outside
of the railway company's right of way.
But it seems to me that such course should
only be pursued when there is no other
mode of relief.
There is one thing that suggests itself
very forcibly to person with some expert
ence in Independent grain shipping: Sup
osing we had our Independent warehouses
at every station in the state how much
will that help us along, as we have to ship
our grain through a commission firm to a
large corporation terminal elevator; we
cannot ship directly to a miller, either in
Minneapolis St. Paul or Duluth, or any
miller outside of these cities What we
want as bad as interior warehouses is ter
minal elevators, where we could ship our
wheat and offer it for sale in large lots.
We would surely then realize for our
grain all that the market could warrant.
Can we do this? is the question. 1t seems
to me that when able to raise the
grain we should also be able to dispose of
it in business-like way. 1t is no use to
pass any law to have the state build such
terminal elevators, as know by expert
ence that the supreme court will not toll
crate it.
The best and most effective way would
be to build such terminal elevators by SUBJ
scription, supervised by the officers of the
State Alliance.
This suggestion may seem a little wild,
but I think it is the only feasible one.
There are thousands of farmers willing to
subscribe from So to $40 for such an enter
prise, rather than take stock, not knowing
whether they would be called upon to pay
an additional assessment. Now if anyone
has better plan, let us have it, This
subject needs a great deal of discussion.
Respectfully, SWAN NELSON

provoke further debate.
Technically Mr.. Burdick is right when
he charges Is cents per bushel for "all rail-
transportation from Duluth to New York,
for this is now winter time; but our i'm
preston is that very little wheat is ship
ped in that way. It is held until spring
and transported by vessels to Buffalo, and
from there by the Erie canal for about
one-tenth of the "all rail- price. So that
while Mr. Burdick is technically right, he
is practically wrong. There is also ques-

in Liverpool at IS sd. 1t is probably
mixed wheat, largely soft spring of Illi-

our No. 1 hard. What the price of that is
in London we do not know
We want to be perfectly fair and Just
and make no statements that will not bear

To the Editor:
Recognizing the fact that The Repre-
sentative is the Populist organ Of the state
and that its circulation shout be increased,

sideration

and statesmen, with quotations beneath
each one bearing on the principles en-
bodied in the Peoples party The object
OF the supplement is to have it so arranged
and attractive that it may be hung up in
each household
Now, this is brief outline. You no
doubt get the drift of my plan. 1 wish
you would consider the matter and let
us know If it would be possible to make
an issue OF this kind say about the LIST
of April; making the issue of The Repre-

written up for the occasion.
AS further explanation, I intend to
take the field about the LIST of April or
ganizing leagues, and would like 500
1000 copies of The Representative, as de-
scribed above, as samples to be given out.
Copies of this character would have a
tendency to get subscribers. Now, if the
different organizers would handle your
paper and secure subscribers, the political
education of the masses would be adj
vanced To cover the expenses of this
issue OF the paper let each organizer pay
for the copies and then take up a col
lection in each league to defray the ex-

perience in organizing. The Peoples Party

Ayres, in this committee, might aid this
enterprise. Yours with respect,

must insist that they be made shorter.
Most of them could be condensed into
600 words. If this is done it will en-
able the REPRESENTATIVE to print
more and a greater variety. Here
after the shorter letters will be
given preference. Write them on one

to secure a good Peoples party paper. Now,
there are two or three good openings in
county seats in this part Of North Dakota,
namely, Grand Forks, of Grand Forks
county, Grafton, of Walsh county, and
Devils Lake, of Nelson county.
We are very much in need of such papers
here. The Peoples party has grown very
fast without them, and I think with their
assistance we will be able to take
first place, for we gained second place last
fall in this county.
