ITEMS OF A WEEK FROM VARIOUS
PARTS OF THE STATE.
Food Commissioner Ladd Will Ask
for More Liberal Appropria-
ton From Legislature to
Prosecute His Work.

Pure Food Commissioner Ladd will
ask the state legislature for more
liberal appropriation to prosecute the
work In this state. Representatives
of manufacturing concerns whose
articles are under the ban, are said
to be planning lobby at Bismarck
which will hamper the present law in
some manner. The law is generally
regarded as absolutely sound and the
legislature will be asked not to tinker
with it, but make more liberal ap-
propriation, so the work so ably be.
gun by. Professor Ladd can be con-
tinued. The last legislature appro-
priated only $4,000 (only $1,000
year,. Professor Ladd of the North
Dakota agricultural college was named
as commissioner. The work for the
biennial period has cost over $1,000,
$4,000 of which has been borne by the
agricultural college in making tests,
expenses Of analysis, chemicals for
the work and expense in securing
samples. Professor Ladd has bitterly
antagonized some of the big manufac-
turing interests by his activity and
one result has been q damage suit
against him for 100000 by an East
ern association of manufacturers. The
active prosecution by Professor Ladd
drove many boxcar merchants out of
the state with their supplies of goods
that were not permitted sale in
Minnesota and other states The
prosecution of meat market men and
grocers has resulted in a higher quail
ity of goods. Fhe sentiment is en-
tirely with the food commissioner and
liberal appropriation for his work
will meet with general favor.
