current resolution providing lOI tlIe
to the state constitution,
allowing the state to erect and maintain
and operate terminal elevators in Min
resota and Wisconsin. As soon as the
question of the vote was put, Gunder-
son was on his feet Directing to the
passage. He explained that he realized
that the measure looked good on its
face, but that it was not practical and
would result only in the playing of the
game of politics by the state, and he
did not believe III that. When it was
called to the attention of the senator
that he had voted for the amendment
when it was before the senate two
years ago, he explained that he has
heard from home and was going to
change his vote at this time.
Mcdowell of LaMoure, democrat,
favored the bill and made one of his
characteristic speeches favoring it. He
stated that the farmers of the state
were in sore straits as far as getting a
fair show and a faire price for their
grain was concerned, and said that at
the present time they had no voice in
the price to be paid for the products
of the state. He called attention to
the fact that macaroni and velvet chaff
wheat was being Disseminated against
as to price, but that it was being mixed
will, other grades at the terminals and
the price of the higher grade being
asked for the mixture
Cashel tried to make all amendment.
but was ruled out of order, the chair
holding that it was impossible to make
an amendment at this state of the
game. The amendment that was asked
for would allow the building of termin-
al elevators at points in the state. This
amendment, if it could be attached.
would undoubtedly receive the support
of large number of the senator's, TAX
ing remarks made after adjournment as
criterion Cashel then explained the
methods used at the terminals and what
had been done by the committee which
had gone to Minneapolis, Duluth and
Superior to make an investigation two
years ago He stated that it was his
opinion that the state annually loses
from ole to FIVE million dollars on ac-
count of methods used in grading.

Gilbert Of Cass stated that he be-
lievcd that the ratifying of the amend
mcnt would have a good moral effect
en- the terminal elevator men, as it
would place in the hands of the state
the right at any time to erect or lease
terminal elevators, and void thus
make the grain men of the east give
the state fair show.
Davis asked if the Society of Equity
was not preparing something along the
line of terminal elevator facilities. and
was informed that such was the case
and that sufficient stock was already
subscribed to insure the erection Of
such building.
Talcott, when it came to voting. ex-
planned his "ayc" vote by stating that
he believed it would be good thing
in connection with the federal inspec-
ton of grain which, was Incorporated
in the state platform during the last
election. The amendment carried by a
vote of 36 to 1 with 8 absent and not

ties.
