%. You don't give the farmer early
in the season the benefit of the doubt?
"A. We take the benefit of the
doubt until we get started because we
don't know what we are getting into;
if we should start out in any other way
with the pressure that is brought to
bear On us we should get the grades
down so low they would be below the
standard, and if we once get below
we cannot tighten up, we can never get
back. There was never known such a
thing as Tightening up a grade.

WEIGHMASTER'S REPORT
Unequalled Records by Weigh
master Ed. 0'Brien for
the Year Closed.

The following, from the weighmast-
,er's report, refutes Republican charges
of gross mismanagement: T. -.
''The total number of cars weighed
during the year was 214,4oo, and the
revenues accruing from all sources was
$53,9o3.5 50. Covering the same period
the expense account was $53,o6Q23,
showing surplus of $o2o.27. The total
number of bushels of grain weighed
during the same period was I73,3I1,38o
"A comparison of last years figures
with the above will not be out OF place
here. Shortly after I came into this
office in 1899, the duty devolved upon
me of furnishing you with the four
teenth annual report. In that state
ment it was shown that 2o2,293 cars
had been weighed and that the revenues
from all sources was $34,485.4I.~ The
expense account for that year was $751;
4486S, indicating deficiency of $22,-
o5827. Total number of bushels of
grain weighed, @16o,o4o,oo6: In some
respects the showing thus made was
an excellent one, but the large def
cheney was an unpleasant feature to
record. 49,.
"SEortly after the beginning of the
present grain year, in October, 1899,
your honorable board raised the price
for weighing cars from IS cents to IS
cents, thus adding largely to the re-
ceipts of the department. 1t was one
of the necessities and though some
fault was found with this, the justice
Of it soon became apparent to all. The
board of. appeals, created by. act Of
the last Legislature, added from $I8, 600
to $4,000 to the expense of the grain
department and this, if no other reason
existed, would have justified the adj
vance Them too, there is a vast diff
ference between the car of ten years
ago, or even five years and that of
today. The capacity of the former
would not average but little over Goo
bushels, while the latter, built in these
times, will average. from 200 to-, 900
bushels more. The thousand bushel
car Of the present time. is becoming
quite common. With these changed
conditions the weighing Of a car of
wheat now, in reality, is almost as rea-
sCnable as it ever has been. 5.:2 .:z {: : :

CLAUSEN VS.. REISHUS
C1ausen's Fatal Admissions Un-
der Republican In
vestigatiOn.

Investigations report, by the Jacob
son committee, JAM, 189o This was to
investigate specific charges that under
Clausen "the department of grain in
spectlon has become corrupt; that the
inspection has been conducted in the
interests of the buyer as against the
shipper and producer; that grain would
be inspected in as No. or g. and in
spected out as No. I; that the dockage
has been unreasonable, unjust and ex-
cessive; that the department has en-
ployed incompetent and corrupt men
as inspectors"
The report: We find from the evil
dence produced that the grading of
wheat has not been uniform; that prior
to the month of October, the new crop
of wheat had not been graded solely
on its merits, it being the policy of the
inspection department to give lower
grades than later.
That the system of appeal from the
inspectors decision is impracticable
ard of little benefit
That it appears that some of the in
spectors have been incompetent or care
less.
That the weighing of the grain at
the terminals is carried on in a loose
manner.
From the investigation had before
this committee, it clearly appears to this
committee that wheat inspections have
not been uniform throughout the year
that the grading of wheat has been
rigid during the first three or four
weeks of each season., and less rigid
during the balance of the year, and we
cannot in too strong language con-
denim this practice, as it must neces-
sarily result in GREAT LOSS TO
THE PRODUCER, FROM THE
FACT THAT A LARGE PROPOR-
TION OF THE CROP HAS BEEN
MARKETED BEFORE THE
|3CHANGE TAKES PLACE, AND
ON ALL WHEAT SOLD PRIOR
TO THAT TIME, THE LOSS
MUST NECESSARILY FALL ON
THE PRODUCER. >~s

in the season the inspection made by
your inspectors was, very severe against

Connection With the Minneapolis

One of the salient points of attent
again Congressman J. A. Tawney, of

serving the combine to get the So tax

The wear lust closed. it is gratifying

'The year just closed, it is gratifying
to state, sees the department self-sus-
tanning. The deficiency of almost
$4,000 in 1899 has been turned to a
surplus, small though it be, of 1920 Fl
in 1900.
"Going back to the birth of the de-
partment in 1885, but one wear has ex-
celled this in the number of cars
weighed. That was the big crop war
OF 1897. I desire to say, too, that while
the number of cars weighed curing the
past year was 12,1o7 more tnan during
the previous year, still the expense
account OF the department was less by
$4.26o.45. To be more explicit, the
year ending Aug. 41, 1899, showed an
expense to the department OF $57 ,338.68,
while the year which closed Aug. 81,
1900, showed an expense of $53,o6o23." ;"
An example of the increased strict
ness and general efficiency achieved un-
der the present administration is shown
by the statistics of the weighing de-
partment. Minnesota export wheat is
weighed out at Duluth and weighed in
on arrival at Buffalo, the other end
of the lake route. Comparison of the
Duluth and Buffalo weights, therefore,
shows the accuracy of Minnesota grain
department officials in weighing The
following table tells a significant story.
The loss in pounds per 1000 bushels
for the past seven crop years follows:
Crop T.. Loss per
year. 1000 bu.

1890 80 IDS.
4oV ......... ......I lOS.
1899 -(Last Republican year) ...17 lbs.
1900 (Lind Administration -. 8 lbs.
In other words, the loss in weight
during the Republican administration OF
the Duluth department ranged from II
to SO lbs. per 1000 bushels, as against
the bagatelle Of 8 lbs. under Governor
I>ind's new regime. The average loss
in six years of Republican administra-
ton was IS lbs, which is three times
that of the first year Of the new control.
This shows that the new broom sweeps
clean III weighing as in inspection,
while being less heavy burden upon
the taxpayer, and source Of far great
er justice to the producer and general
business public. ~: .-.-. II: IT,
