LIKELY TO HAVE
GOOD RESULTS
Legislative Probe Into Grain In
speCtiOn. Department.
DISTANCE TARIFF BILL UP
Opponents Spending Considerable
Money for Newspaper Space
Fighting the Measure.
Especial Correspondence

st. Paul, Feb. 11.-One of the inter
esting things of the present session
of the legislature is the house in
Quiry into the methods of state in
Bpection of grain and the charge that
the same are manipulated in favor of
the line elevators and members of
the Minneapolis and Duluth boards
Of grain. Of course the inference is
that farmers get the worst of state
inspection and the entire inquiry,
which is being made by special COM
mittee, Is directed at cinching such.
AS legislative inquiries go the pres.
ent probe will in all probability not
result in any reform as far as the
present session is concerned-they
never Debut it will throw much
tight on state department that has
been much under suspicion of late
At the same time it will open the
eyes of grain growers of the state
and force a closer inspection of state
grades as now made. The state grain
inspection department will no doubt
take cognizance of some of the al
legged abuses and compel stricter at
tention on the part Of it's employees,
One Of the things that has stumped
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1913-02-14

the farmer members of the legisla-
ture and those engaged in the inquiry
has been the large amount of rein
sDections, with the grades invariably
in favor of the elevator and mill men.
How millions Of bushels of No. 2 and
} and no grade wheat, for which the
producer received price as such,
later came out Of the elevators as No.
l has been more than the committee
could figure out.

James A. Manahan, Republican con-
E 'ssman at large elect, is conduct
ing the inquiry and to those who
daily throng the room where the
Fc)be is being conducted the one en-
teltaining and interesting feature has
been his merciless grilling of wit
nesses. This grilling he carried to
an extent last week that called for
interference on the part of members
OF the railroad and warehouse COM
mission, who demanded of the COM
mittee that he at least be fair. Later
Dan O'Neal, representative from Thief
River Falls, threatened to break up
the meeting if Mr.. Manahan did not
desist in his insinuating questions
and it looked for while as if there
would be a personal encounter. Mr.
Manahan's efforts to date have been
to read into the records questions
which practically answer themselves
and the whole will prove good read
ing when completed The probe so
far has brought out the fact that the
Minneapolis chamber is by no means
q philanthropic institution; that 1t is
pretty much for its members and that
1t has price fixing rules which dom.
mate the market.

mis- action would hurt him, but * any
thing it made him stronger as a vote
getter. Last week ST. Paul business
men invested nearly $1,000 in news
paper space opposing the distance
tariff bill and it is said the publicity

At the banquet rendered Senator
Nelson in st. Paul Governor Eberhart
came out fiat for the immediate reeeg-
milton of the Bull Moose" or third
party, and now quite few are cudgei-
ing their brains in an effort to figure
cut what is back of it all. Is 1t a bid
for another try at the governorship
two years hence or is it the United
States senatorship? That aspirants
for the Republican gubernatorial nomi-
nation will have Governor Eberhart
to reckon with is generally accepted
among the king makers. That he has
his eye on Senator Clapp's job is also
we'll known. That his endorsement of
the Bull MooseTB" to the extent of
giving the party immediate official
recognition as party will help his
ambitions can be readily seen. 1t will
take out OF the party two years from
now a disturbing element and in the
case of the governors senatorial am
billions bring to him a following that
will no doubt be in the saddle when
the next senatorial election rolls
around. They speak OF Governor
Eherhart's luck; to me it looks more
like good head work.
j. \ =
The house went on record for the
initiative and referendum, or rather
the submission to the voters OF con-
stitutional amendment calling for the
same, and now the senate is expected
to fall in line. One feature was the
size of the vote, ITO for to Z against,
and another the passage of the bill
without an embarrassing amendment
being permitted. Many were offered,
but they were all turned down. The
leaders in the house were determined
that the bill should go through as
drafted by the committee and they
were successful In their fight.
!. ]. r.
Perhaps q good amendment, and
yet one that is debatable was that OF.
fered by G. w. Brown of Glencoe dis
cOuraging what are known as profes,
sional petition pushers. He wanted
the petitions located at convenient
places and voters allowed to sign
them without coercion. 1t was the
most warmly contested of the lot Of
amendments offered and the vote at
the finish was quite close. Tt lost out,
however. The professional petition
pusher is a pest in other states where
the petition is a medium of reaching
the legislature or accomplishing any
thing pertaining to the ballot, He
works for SO much name or makes
a contract to turn in a given number
of signers for a certain sum and he
generally makes good Getting people
to sign is a picnic for the average pro
fesSional. If the pest reaches Min.
nesota the next legislature will nm
doubtedly curb his activities and it
should.

Speaking further on the present
house inquiry into the grain inspec-
ton situation in the state the senate
has voted to conduct an independent
probe. Senator Works is behind the
move and the excuse for the senate
probe as offered by him is that the
house inquiry is too one sided. In
effect the senate probe Is to be an in
vestigation of the house investigators.
