Terminal Elevators Would Be

vators would require an additional
large sum of money. Without such
selling agency, grain consigned to
such terminal would eventually have
to be disposed of through q commits.
sion firm, and in this case, IS prev
iously stated, the producers wheat
would have to stand the handling
charges of the terminal, elevators and
the loss of premiums for track wheat.
With such state terminal elevators
and selling agency built and ready for
operation there would still be the hun
dreds of old line and farmers COOP
erative elevators operating success
fully and generally satisfactorily, in
the state. Furthermore, in order to
do, this the state of. North Dakota
would be obliged, in practice, to oper-
ate these terminal elevators as pri-
waite state owned elevators. They
would then not be subject to or gov
erned by the rules and regulations of
the Minnesota and Wisconsin commits
sions, which rules would require the
North Dakota elevators, If public, to
provide at all times certain percent
ages of their capacity for the ship
pers of Minnesota, South Dakota, and
other states should they call for it. AS
private elevators also, grain consigned
to it by North Dakota shippers would
neither be subjected to or entitled to
the advantages Of state inspection.
This again would lead to further diff
fculties in selling as buyers would
require this state inspection and grad
ing as now established, unless federal
inspection should supercede it.
Want Track Wheat.
Inquiry of the Twin City millers
in this investigation brought out the
fact that they only purchased wheat
in terminal elevators when track
wheat al not be had, for the reason
that wheat in terminals is usually
mixed by parties putting it in store,
and is known to the trade as cline
wheat" and further it carries a charge
of one,half cent for loading it out and
usually a switching charge by the
railroad company. This condition, due
to competitive buying by Minneapo-
lis, eastern and interior millers, as
we'll as mixers, has given the ship,
pers the advantage of a premium Of
'2k cents a bushel over the price paid
for wheat in the terminal elevators.
The millers also state that they would
pay no more for wheat in a North Da-
.kota state owned terminal elevator
than they would for a like grade in
any other terminal elevator. This
being true it would mean that if a
North Dakota farmer shipped his
wheat to the terminal market and had
it put in a state owned terminal ele-
vator, he, would lose the premium now
being paid for track wheat and would
also have to pay storage and handl-
ing charges, and eve with. a state
selling agency established the handl-
ing cost could not be eliminated. The
question of lowering or eliminating
any or all cost of placing the grain
from producer to final consumer,
which in this case is the miller, al
best be solved, in the opinion of the
board, by a thoroughly organized,
amply cooperative system of farmers

sis and operating through its own CO.

canada'a Experience
AS the Canadian system of provin-
cial and government elevators was
cited as, a criterion for North Dako-
ia during the last legislative assem-
bly,, the board went into the Cana
dian situation thoroughly and In sum-
marizing Canada's experience and
what North Dakota has to learn from
that ccuntry's experiences, the re.
port says:
I'm our opinion North Dakota
would not be justified in going into
the elevator business, either termin-
al or interior, with the experience
of Canada before it as a criterion. If
the Canadian. experience has been a
benefit 1t is in demonstrating that a
far better proposal than state owned
and operated elevators is that system
of cooperative grain marketing COM
in operation IN the Provinces
Of Saskatchewan and Alberta. The
Canadian experience also goes to
show that many producers who advo-
cate the need for state owned ter
minal elevators do not ship their
grain to such terminal elevators af-
ter they have once been put in oper-
alton at heavy expense to the general
tax payer. Many of the theories and
expectations of advocates of provi1,
cial and government owned elevators
in Carada have been found entirely
unfounded in actual practice, and
and there was no hesitation on the
part of public officials and those in
touch with the situation through
out the Dominion in stating that CO.
operative elevators owned and oper.
lted by the farmers themselves were
much preferable to any system of pro-
or government owned and op
Grated elevators"

RAILROAD MEN
DRAW Big WAGES
Command More Wages in Cab OF
Engines Than Governors in
Seven States.

Chicago, Jan. 1S.-Governors in
seven states in the union could make
> more money sitting in the cab of a
locomotive on some of the runs on
western railways than they now re,
ceive in the executive chairs of their
states. Their annual salaries are
smaller than the wages received by
some of the locomotive engineers on
western !railways, who, in concert
with the f1remen are demanding high.
pra pay and revised rules which would
entail an added burden of SAC, 900, 600
yearly&to the roads.
Draw Big Money.
This was One of the striking points
developed by James M. Sheean, ccun
sci for the western railways, today,
in his address before The Federal Ar
bitration Board of Chicago, opening
presentation of the railways yesti-
mony against the demands of the en-
gineers and firemen. IT.
"Of about 5000 men whose wages
for the entire year to June 80, 1918,
will be shown" said Mr.. Sheean,
there Is a maximum of $685. 20 for
passenger engineers; $3,342.3 30 for the
freight engineers; $1,752.20 for pas
senger firemen and S1,89a.32 for
freight tiremen. Against these max
ma, the Governors of eve states re.
ceive $4,000 or less per year, while
those OF seven other states receive
$4,000 or only slightly above the en-
glneers' maximum earnings.
Receive Higher Wages.
actual earnings statements for all
engineers and firemen for the month
in which these demands were present.
ed, show that engineers in passenger
service earned actually an average of
$185 for the month with a maximum
actual earnings Of $341.6D; in the
freight service the average was $40.
with an actual maximum of $35S.70;
the 6remen in passenger service earn
ed that month an average of $115.54
with a maximum of $2O9.S9; while in
freight service their actual earnings
for the month were or the average of
$1,000 with a maximum of 1921. 05.
Other firemen in combination freight
and passenger service earned even
higher wages.
"A careful investigation into the in
creased cost of living in the West
shows that prices have not advanced
so fast as have the wages of engineers
and tiremen under the schedules
awarded in 1910.
Comparison of their wages with
those Of any other craft, or of any
other railway employees, or of engi-
neers and fremen in other parts of the
country, show that they are receiving
already a higher compensation in both
rates of pay and rules"

Turning to the question Of ability
of the roads to meet the added cost
in these latest demands of the men,
Mr.. Sheean pointed out that in the
face of larger mileage and growing
traffic, the: western roads in recent
