ing floor of the chamber and brought
on great bull market. In those days
wheat in Minneapolis sold in the six
ties, the price Of September having
been down to 60%c in May. When, in
June, the farmers began to buy wheat
because the rains did not come, the
price rose to 92Ac, which was the
biggest bull market Minneapolis had
seen since the days Of Joe Letter, the
Chicago plunger, who operated in
1897-1898.
Less Active in 1904.
In 1904 black rust got into the
wheat in the northwest and there was
a bull market, but the farmers did
not enter into 1t to the extent that
they had done in 1900.
Today they are appearing in Min
neapolis in such numbers as to bring
back to the minds OF the older mem
bers of the grain trade the days of
1900, when 1t did not rain during May
or June, and everybody thought the
crop was gone, but with plentiful rains
in July there was a fair croD raised
after all
Today the price went climbing again,
as the farmers in town gave their or
ders to buy, and their brethren in
country towns, where private wire
brokerage firms maintain offices sent
in their instructions to buy.
Up With a Rush Today.
The wheat pit was in an uproar
when the Minneapolis market opened
yesterday. September wheat selling at

$1.Os in the first minute. Saturdays
close was $1.03k; 81 .061h and yester-
day the buying fever was undated.
The wire facilities Of the brokers'
offices were inadequate to carry the
enormous thrush of business from the
country that came by telegraph and
telephone. Minneapolis December
wheat advanced at the opening to
81. ON, July to S1.12h.
There was a interval of compare
tive quiet, during which exhausted
brokers wiped their prespiring faces
and sought relief in copious drinks of
ice water, but the words by wheat"
kept ticking in all the wires, the
flood of orders grew and near the close
of the session September went rushing
ur to $1.09%, December to 81 .0Sh and
July to $1.14H.

move the legislature to abolish the
system altogether. New York had
the same experience. The money pay
ment plan spread gradually until poll
teal reasons no longer stood in the
way of making 1t universal. Legisla-
tors from localities where 1t prevailed
had no occasion to fear disapproval
from their constituents and hence lent
willing and fearless hand in sweep
ing the old order out of the way. The
same Is true of New Jersey and other
states, the localities moved first, the
legislature afterwards. Minnesota,
Illinois, Pennsylvania, Missouri and
other states are moving in the same
direction In Minnesota about rs per
cent, OF its local units have abolished
statute labor; in Illinois about so per
cent of the counties have and in
Pennsylvania about 35 per cent Of the
counties collect their road taxes in
cash.
Abolish Statute Labor.
The abolition Of statute labor, then,
goes hand in hand with all real pro-
gress In highway improvement. North
Dakota has already taken one step in
this direction under the so called
contract system. During the last leg
islative session there was some dis
cussion of the ACCESSIBILITY of abolish
ing statute labor, but such pronounced
opposition promptly appeared that the
matter was dropped. Members believed
that the step would be unpopular at
home, and not having anything from
their constituents to change this be-
lief, preferred to let the question rest
until some future time. All experience
seems to indicate that the initiative in
this as well as in other matters vitality
affecting the individual citizen must
come from the community and other
states have found 1t advisable to give
the counties power to decide this mat
ter for themselves. Owing to condi-
lions in this state, this fact is Of pecu-
liar interest. The western part of the
state is in very first stages of growth,
while the eastern portion has attained
a high degree Of development. The
counties bordering On the Red river
contain one-fourth Of the assessable
in the whole state. Again
five counties in the middle If the state
beginning with Bottineau and running
due south to Emmons contain less than
one-half CAB per cent? as much pro-
perty as the tier bordering on the
Red river. While 1t would be no
for the counties In the val
ley to pay their road taxes in cash,
yet the question might be different in
the western part where money Is less
abundant and the problem of good
roads not SO prominently in the fore
ground. But If the counties were given
the power to decide, it would be only a
question of time when their representa-
tives and progressive members would
sweep statute labor into the scrap
heap.
