the value Of corn resulted today from
the action of the board Of trade d.

maximum price for new crop deliver

The fixing of maximum Of s1.2S
bushel for the December, 1917, and
the May, 1918, corn was regarded by
members Of the board as practically
putting a stop to speculation in the
new crop of that grain. An official
o fthe board said the establishment
of a maximum price for December,
and later options. seemed necessary
to bring trading conditions into har-
mony with the governments war pol
icy of preventing undue speculation

RA|[:s: BOARD: CUTS +. !.
OUT FEES IN NEW
: GRAIN GRADE ACT
Doubtful as to Constitutionality
of Feature-Leaves No Mon
;.'5->,. ey for Deputies

y Fearing for the constitutionality of
the clause which provides for the as
sessing of fee for each load of grain
or other farm products weighed and
graded under North Dakotas new
grain grading act, the state railway
commission today voted to eliminate
that feature of the law until the courts
have passed on it,
=, 1t had been estimated that this
grain grading fee would net revenue
of at least 100000 per annum, from
which the act provided for setting
aside Is per cent each year for the
creation of a terminal elevator fund.
With the elimination of this fee the
act must depend for the payment of
inspectors salaries and other expenses
upon the $40 fee which deputy inspec-
tors are required to produce. 1t is
very doubtful whether this amount
will prove sufficient. .a
The commission today also ap-
proved the appointment by DR.. Ladd
of J. A. .McGovern, former grain grad
er for the Equity Cooperative ex-
change at st. Paul, to be chief in
spector under the new act. Mr.. Nc
Govern had 80 years experience in
the farmers elevator business in
South Dakota before, he went to St.
Paul -.
The abolition OF the revenue to be
derived from fees raises another con-
stitutional question. The act provides
that all grain must be inspected be-
fore it can be purchased Therefore
there must be inspectors at every ele'
vator. The law provides for the Ii
censing of elevator men as deputy in
spectors. The constitution also holds
that no mans property may be seized
for public use without compensation.
The courts have ruled that mans
time and services are property. There
is said to be question whether dep
uty inspectors can be compelled to
serve without pay. If they cannot,
the fees must be re-established or an
effort to operate the act abandoned.
