Most important of all the business
taken up by the convention yesterday
were the resolutions presented by the

these. One. in regard TO bucket shops.
read IN part as follows:

National aasSciation, in convention as
sembled. respectfully but urgently pc
titions the congress of the United
States SO to amend paragraph 3, of
schedule 4, of the United States war
revenue act by increasing the ratio
of taxation on this illegal and perni-
ciOus traffic carried on in bucket shops
as to render the same Improbable;
and that whenever the war revenue
act shall he repealed the said section
he permanently Incorporated in the
United States excise laws.
Resolved. That a copy of this res
olution be forwarded TO each of the
houses of congress and to each Sena-
tor and congressman from the sew
eral states represented in the mem
bership of the Grain Dealers National
Association
Another, which pertains to the in
terstate commerce law and which is
addressed to the senate and house of
representatives of the Fifty-seventh
congress, reads:
The grain dealers national conven-

that have been found to exist therein,
and will insure its proper enforcement
i'm the protection of the public inter

will in no way, impair the just rights
or privileges of common carriers.
1T is the belief of this convention
that the present law has been rem

and that the public is without redress
from unjust and unreasonable cXac-

Of common carriers. Your petitioners
therefore earnestly pray that your

Importance demands and provide

Facts at Des Moines That

What They Should Be-
Bucket Shops.

Des MoineS, Ia, Oct. At the
Srain Dealers convention yesterday
ii. y. FoSs, weighmaster of the Chi
cago Board of Trade. offered to the
grain trade of the country facts which
had been wanting for many years. and
which promise to be of unlimited value
to every one in the commercial world.
Foss' paper was on two subjects, ''Sug-
gestions on Seals and Ciphering" and
Loading OF Cars" Both are of great
importance just now in grain circles.
According to FOSs mOSt of the diScrep-
ancies and the ill-feeIing in the trade
are due to variation in weights, waste
and unserviceable cars
Crop Reports Criticised.
Methods of the government i'll COM
putting crop reports came in for criti-
cism in an address delivered by ii. :.
Grimes, Of Portsmouth. o.. who made
an earnest plea for some action toward
better service. According to Grimes
the government reports are extremely
lame No report made by the employees
OF Uncle Sam, he said. can he correct
unless the work il systematiZed. The
statistics are compiled now" said the
speaker. from reports which for the
most part are voluntary. There are Il
few paid Statisticians in the employ
ment of the government. but they can
not cover the country as it should be
covered"
Remedy Is Simple. but Costly.
Grimes remedy is simple but eXpen-
sive. The latter fact should not be
considered. he declared. because of the
magnitude of the matter lie suggest
ed that the government employ an am
pie number of competent statisticianS
who would work thrOughOu, the year,
and who would have no personal in
terest in grain markets or crops. They
should be given full power to swear
farmers as to the amount of crops they
have on hand. BY that means the re-
ports of the crops could he obtained
from the time the grain is put into the
ground until it is harvested
Should Cover Twenty Five States.
There are twenty-five states in the
country which raise % per cent. of the
products OF the farm said the speak
cr. This is all that need be covered.
Divided into districts it would take
about 400 statisticianS to do the work" :"
Grimes made a recommendation that
action he taken by the convention.
