Of any elevator company shall install
such uniform system of accounting,
and on request of such percentage or
stockholders shall send a competent
examiner to examine the books and
financial accounts Of such elevator.
1t was not the purpose Of this Law
to subject the elevators Of this state
to any arbitrary or captious surveil-
lance or to attempt to dictate to them
their method Of keeping their &C
counts, but it was rather the object
of the legislators to assist those
elevators, and especially the elevators
conducted by farmers, who by rea-
son of lack of experience or rush or
business have been unable to accurate
ly keep track of their business, and to
the end that uniformity in methods of
keeping elevator books would ulti-

The new action Of the North Dakota
State Railroad commission in comply
ing with the statute enacted by the
state legislature last winter, in pro-
viding a uniform system Of accounting
for all elevators, Is a marked step to-
ward progress.
This law came into effect following
the last legislative session through the
influence of many stockholders among
the farming interests of the numerous
farmers elevators OF the state who
found by their inadequate bookkeep-
ing systems they were not in touch
with the volume of business done by
their respective corporations.
To provide an adequate system Of
bookkeeping so that every farmer and
stockholder would know just where
the elevator company stood and the
exact amount of business done during
the year, this law was introduced and
passed.
The railroad commission has acted
on the matter and. as has been preVi-
ously stated in The Forum some
weeks ago, has now evolved a uniform
system of accounting to be recon- =
mended to all elevator companies TO
prevent the farmers from being rob
bed by any scheming or incompetent
bookkeepers or employees.
1t has been found that the present
books used in so many elevators are
exceedingly inadequate and that In
stead of showing the actual conditions
of the company, do not give the stock
holders any comprehensive grasp of
what has really been done.
In many instances the commission
ers have found the books of compan-
les a literal disgrace and the present
system Is an outgrowth Of a campaign
Of education for all the stockholders
to see q good souruce Of Investment
in a set of these simplified books.
The laws of 1913, chapter 236, re-
quire the railroad commission to plan
and formulate a uniform system OF
accounting for all public elevators
and recommend the adoption Of such
system to every firm or corporation
conducting such public elevator. This
