Five different propositions for chang
ing the primary election laws are be-
ing considered by the senate and
house elections committees. Three of
them are bills actually introduced.
The Rustad bill calls or party conven-
tons before the primaries to recon.
mend candidates to the voters. The
Harrison bill adopts the Iowa plan of
conventions after the primaries to in
sure majority nominations, and the
Odlund bill provides for the election of
state convention delegates in the pri-
maries and the nomination of the
whole state ticket in convention. The
other two propositions are modifica-
tons of the Rustad bill.

That appropriation matters are get
ting away from the budget system and
that the state tax levy will be greatly
increased is feared by members Of
the senate finance committee. They
now have bills passed by the house
appropriating nearly $2,000,000 with
out waiting for the Omnibus" or bud
get measure.
One of the eleven efficiency and
economy bills has fallen by the way
side, being put to sleep by the senate
committee on civil administration. It
is the bill turning the care and Gus
tody of the state capitol over to the
state board of control, taking it away
from the governor. AS a business
proposition this had appealed to the
commission, but from other stand
points it was thought best to leave the
governor in control of the building.

The bill requiring milling test"
as part of the grading of wheat is
arousing considerable interest among
country members Of the house. 1t
is claimed by partisans of this bill,
on authority of Professor E. F.. Ladd
of North Dakota, that a bushel of
thirty-eight- pound test wheat will
make within three and three-fourths
pounds as much -four as bushel
testing sixty pounds. This claim is
refuted by Minnesota millers of high
reputation.

The house has passed the 1000

Smith Tractor Co. Plans.

The product OF the bankrupt Smith
Form Tractor company will con-
continue to be manufactured for the
benefit of It's creditors. When the
bankruptcy petition was filed the
company had no working capital and
was unable TO convert It's assets into
n marketable form. Since then the
Smith Motor Truck corporation has
agreed to purchase the parts that are
lacking and manufacture the tractor
company's product.
The Smith Motor Truck corporation
Will market the tractors at its own
expense and store the parts until
needed for the tractors, at which time
II will pay cash for the parts. The
receiver. Edwin ID. Buell.. Will dispose
OF the machinery which the motor
truck corporation will not need in
carrying on this agreement and the
money so received will be available
for distribution among the creditors.

Saving Wasted Trims.

Because of lack of railroad facill-
ties many OF the British motor truck
manufacturers have been forced to
deliver their machines to their buy
ers by driving them overland. says
The Power Wagon. Many of these
70 four hundred miles in length and
| I'm almost all cases dummy" loads
/ have been carried. A plan has now
been devised for utilizing these ma
chimes for the delivery of merchan-
disc that would otherwise be shipped
by railroad. Large stocks of goods
are maintained at the factories of the
motor truck makers so that each ma
chine leaving the plant for delivery
lis able to take on full load con
signed to the point of its destination.
The plan has been developed to an
efficient degree by the Leyland com
pany. which makes shipments by mo-
tor convoy twice a week. Factories
in the neghborhood of the Leyland
plant in Leyland, Lancashire. are no.
titled by telephone of the number Of
vehicles to be dispatched at any given
time. Loads are prepared in advance
and in case the capacity of any ma
chine Is not completely taken up, an
additional load may be taken on be-
TWEEN the starting point and the des-
ltination. The same plan is followed
with shipments OF chassis. planks be-
ing laid across the frame. After
loading, the machines return to the
factory and proceed In convoy forma-
tion to their destination. By such
| methods the Leyland company has
transported more than ten thousand
tons Of merchandise since the plan
was inaugurated. The run from Ley
Hand to London, 21s miles. is made in
I22jh hours.
