COMMISSIONERS
CHAIRMAN PROUTY OF INTER-
STATE COMMERCE. COMMISSION
SAYS GOPHER BOARD rs ONE OF
MOST PROGRESSIVE AND EFFI-
GENT AMONG SUCH BODIES.

Just before leaving st. Paul last
Saturday night for Denver, Chairman
Prouty of the Interstate Commerce
commission, declared "that the Min
nesota warehouse and railroad commits
sion was the most efficient and pro-
gresstve of the state commissioners"
Speaking of the candidates of Ira B.
Mills and Charles e. Elmauist, MEM
bers of the commission, Judge Prouty
asserted it would be regrettabIe If the
two are not nominated in the primary
election Tuesday and elected in the
fall.
In the weighing investigation,
which l came to st. Paul particularly
to conduct, it developed that the work
of the Minnesota commission in this
branch of the service far excelled that
of any commission in the United States.
Mr.. Elmquist is a comparatively
new man, of whom I have a favorable
impression, but with whom my ac-
~quaintance is comparatively slight. Mr..
Mills and Mr.. Staples L have known
for years. They have been effective
and earnest workers in the commission.
They have both given valuable assist
ance to the Interstate Commerce COM
mission in obtaining necessary legis-
lation, and If either OF them, and in
my own mind / know of no distinction
between the two, were to be refused a
reelection, l should feel that the cause
of railway legislation had lost efficient
friends

Wheat is now accommodating and doing

was enough conservative selling of
small lots to overload all buyers and
turn the list very weak. Meanwhile
cash and September corn broke badly,
buyers entirely out of the market for

attracted a good cash business later.
