TERMINAL
ELEVATOR

Bismarck. N. D., Feb. s.-The
terminal elevator issue was the sub
ject of a joint meeting OF the ware
house, grain and grading committees
Of the senate and house last evening.
j. M. Anderson, president OF the Equi-
ty exchange, owning the terminal
elevator at st. Paul: A. w. Lindquist
and others interested in the Equity
Touring mill at Paramount, and others,
were before the committee. The queS-
ton Of why and how the North Dakota
farmer is wronged by the present
methods of marketing grain was
gone into at length.
Advocating state aid and state reg
ulation as opposed to state ownership
and control, and recounting Canada's
experience to prove public ownership
of utilities often is expensive and not
always successful Mr.. Anderson dis
cussed the perplexing question of ter
minal elevators. where to have them,
when to have them and how to have
them.
President Anderson threw cold wa
ter on the proposition of erecting at
Paramount, in connection with the
Equity -four mill, a terminal elevator
to be finished by the state. but to be
leased to and managed by this local
Equity concern.
League Senators Pendray, Wexford
and Hamilton made 1t clear they are
against any proposal to raise funds
for terminal elevator through di-
rect property tax. and consider bond
ing, with bonds secured on the prop
erty, the proper method. They oppos-
ed the suggestion that 100000 now
in the terminal elevator fund Of the
state might be employed in. expert
menting with small terminal at
Paramount. Whenever the state Is
ready to get behind the bonds to build
a terminal elevator. then am for it,"
said Senator Hamilton. ~The net
earnings would earn interest on the
bonds and set aside a sinking fund"
An effort will be made to have DR..
Ladd Of the agricultural college come
to the capitol to confer with the COM
mittee, particularly on the lines Of
S. B. No. 1862, by Senator Drown, re-
lating to the establishment of a North
Dakota grade of wheat. This matter
became an issue, and it was the con-
sensus Of opinion that this would solve
some Of the most serious problems of
the farmer in getting a just price for
his product, instead of having North
Dakota wheat mixed with inferior
grades and sold at high prices.

MINNESOTA
TO Be DRYEST
STATE OF ALL
Statutory House Bill Would
Cut Out Near Beer and
Limit Prescriptions

Statutory prohibition that is intend
ed to make Minnesota the dryest of all
bone dry states is provided in the
bill backed by the st. Paul radical
drys and introduced in the Minnesota
house of representatives today by A.
v. Anderson, w. l.. Bernard, Theodore
Christianson, James Cummings, p. j.
car Stenvick and w. l. Nolan.
The statutory bill presented to the
house prevents the sale, manufacture,
transportation of intoxicating liquor
within the state after January J.,
1913.
Including in the appliance of the
phrase Intoxicating liquor" as spe-
nous, fermented or malt liquors, or
any imitation thereof, or substitute or
compound of any kind or description,
whatsoever, whether indicated or not,
which contains alcohol, and which is
capable of being used as u beverage"
This section of the measure is aimed
particularly at the various near
beer" and patent medicines contain
ing alcohol, according I? the support
Preseri otions Limited.
Physicians are barred from pre-
scribing any indicated alcoholic bev-
erage, or from writing for any person
more frequently than once weak
prescription containing mere than one
half pint, with 80 per cent limit on
the alcohol contained.
Meanwhile the senate temperance
committee is holding public hearings
on the constitutional prohibition bill
passed by the house last week.
The public hearings before the SEN
ate committee developed the fact that
the vets would center their efforts on
a movement to obtain an extension of
the date on which the law would be-
come effective by popular vote from
January 1, 1920 to January /, 1921.
1t is freely predicted by the drys
that the bill will pass the senate by
a vote of at least 81 to 80. and then
become law.

SUM-.

New York-At the moment declines
in the stock market do not provide an
accurate measure of Wall street senti-
ment. That sentiment is not at all
pessimistic and there appears no rea-
son to believe that the Wall street
mind will move into a narrow groove
or that panicky ideas will supersede
common sense. Caution and conserva-
tism are exercised through the trying
period that may be ahead for this
country. If the public becomes fright
ened and sells its stocks, the ethics Of
the professional trader in the stock
exchange will encourage lower prices,
but where the public may sell, the big
men of the street will come in to buy.
Money market conditions remain I'M

commodation reported.
