MccUk,BER's BILL.
National Grain Inspection Bill Meets
With Public Approval.

Al the recent grain growers con-
vention Senator McCumber's national
grain inspection bill was unanimously
endorsed and its passage urged on
congress. G. J. Majors, who was ac-
lively opposed to the McCumber bill
IN the convention a year ago, now
. heartily endorses it. In an interview
with the jamestown Alert, Mr.. Ma
jors said:
There are about so independent
elevators in the state and there should
be terminal elevator at Minneap0-
lis, Superior and Duluth to handle Our
own business. The commission maid
on our business this year will amount
to more than $125, 900, when win
guarantee to say the terminal eleva-
tors at Duluth, Superior and Mime
apolis will handle an equal amount of
grain and flax and save at least half
the commission.
I'VE need mixing house at the ter
minals so damp grain which knocks
of the grade, can be dried and clean
ed.
"The Minnesota Farmers Exchange
is company just getting started
which / hope will fill the bill If we
can't get enough capital from our own
AoAAAC1o ~ otoiI TIT uSS6SSdTy I0T-
minal houses.
Senator McCumber has showed
the profits the terminal elevators
make, in his speeches on the federal
inspection measure he is champion
ing before congress. We all know
that there is very little No. / hard or
No. Northern received In the Mime
sofa terminals, while most of it lis
No. 2, 3 and lower grades. The grain
shipped out from those places shows
it to be mostly No. 1 hard, No. North
ern, and there is no No. or rejected
What has become of it all? Is the
Minnesota inspection fraud in this
respect?
II think Mr.. McCumber has shown
that there were in the last two or
three years, during the time for
which his figures were given. over
100000 more bushels of wheat
shipped out of the Minnesota termin-
ais, than were received. If that is
true, how do you account for that?
1t is estimated that at least 100000
more bushels a year are shipped out
of than received at the big terminals
in the twin cities and at the head OF
the lakes.

One of the ablest and most interest

heard him yesterday will be pleased
to know he has decided to address tAe
clerks and statesmen Of this city on

The Paint Manufacturers Side.
The paper prepared by the Paint
Grinders association of the United
States on the North Dakota Pure Paint
Law was read by G. B. Coffin Of Chi
cago. The paper was masterpiece
both as an argument and q diplomatic
essay to say nothing of it's chemical
features. The law of North Dakota
was stigmatized as the hasty work of
Ignorant men. 1t was rushed through
the committee in haste and enacted
into a law by men who knew nothing
of paint from the chemical or workers
~" poAAe, ehOy "CAC luCiS tutOIlSlS.
The law is unjust because it brands
as inferior paints which experience has
proved to be the very best SO far as
their practical use was concerned, 1t
was not that the manufacturers OBJ
jected to labels if all paints were la
beled but the legislature set up
standard of ingredients for paint; If
another paint equally good did not con-
tain these ingredients, it was bad from
inference. The law in itself worked a
hardship in this particular of labels, by
labelling some paint and not labelling
others, beyond the actual damage done
by advertising the quality of paint.
1t was unjust because it did not an
ply to catalogue houses but only to the
resident merchant. The unbroken
package decision! made it possible to
bring the paint in and sell 1t to the
consumer under that decision. Again
1t did not include paste paints. They
should be brought under the bane Of
the law
The paper set forth at length the
opinions of experts to the effect that
the ingredients called for by the North
Dakota law did not necessarily make
the best paint. 1t showed at length
that other paints were better adapted
to certain purposes, but that they
We're made inferior by the law. The
methods of making paint were con
stantly undergoing change. The bull
letins Of the Agricultural college at
Fargo were quoted to show that some
OF the paint which was made after the
North Dakota formula were less ex-
pensive than some under the ban OF
the law.
The standard by which paint is
measured is that ct the manner in
which It preserves the surface upon
which i 10 spread and retains q pleas.
