TO LOOK AFTER LEGISLATION.
A committee on legislation was an
pointed by the chair to go before the
various committees of the legislature
and urge the passage of several hills
Which, 1t is claimed, will be of direct
pene1t to the farmers. A protest was
raised against the custom of the Min
neapolls roads in making the country
Elevators pay switching charges. in
aodltlon to high freight rate
Another proposition which the COM
Inlttee was instructed to take before
the legislature was that Of securing =
oiiIerent method of distributing bind

was established by the farmers If wac
asserted by Mr.. Hopkins, and there.
tore the farmers should receive it's

matter OF fact, the farmers received
but little benefit. as a large nercentN

VIII De the first operating basis of the
new grain growers association
Inc legislature of 1893 passed q hill,
transferring such amount Of thu sur-
Plus inspection funds as might he
necessary for the construction and ar.
curing of site for a farmers terr7,i,,
al elevator company. The site was
purchased. but before the building wac
started the supreme court held that
the law was imperative. as s,,ch :.
ptHldlng would, 1t held be in the nature
Oh an internal Improvement, and the
inspection fund could not be used for
| this purpose. The site is still in tbe
possession Of the state. and the new
association will make another ATTEMPT
to carry out the project of 1891.

NEED EXPERT BUTTERATAKERS
j. c. Hanley announced that he had
| received inquiries from several places
for good buttermakers. and inquired il
any OF those present knew of any ex.
pert butter men who were out of work,
Chairman Donnelly submitted the re.
port Of his committee. BY way of ex
PLANTATION. he said, that in the short
time at it's disposal the committee had
found it-impossible to form any adeou-
ate permanent basis of organization. as
the committee had met with many per
picking problems. Primarily, however
1t had decided that the rule MAKING
membership in the alliance obligatory
with members OF the grain growers
association. was unnecessary. but in
towns where there was an alliance 2F
per cent of each annual due paid into
the new association would revert to-
wards the support of the alliance.
The report further recommended that
the matter be re-referred to the COM
mittee.
