INJUSTICE HAS BEEN DONE

Washington, Aug. 18.-The senate
committee on agriculture and forestry
has issued a statement on the agricul-
tural situation which emphatically as
serts the need of changing wheat
grading rules and discounts which it
is claimed if, unchanged may rob
wheat growers of from so to rs cents

bushels Of wheat and which will deny
the producers even living wages. The
statement has the endorsement of the
entire committee and has received the
unqualified support of the national
board Of farm organizations and the
national Grange which have a COM
bined membership Of approximately
three million producing farmers. The
senator's and farm organization repre-
sentatives say that the wheat, though
shriveled owing to the unusual heat of
the summer, is Of the highest milling
value and will enter in large measure
into the production of the high priced
patent nours and be sold to the con-
suming public at prices based on No. I

With all his pack of Big Business

cause of war conditions. The Bis
marck city commission had held that
under the company's franchise raise
in rates could not be granted. The
district and supreme court had up
held the capital city board. Ployhar,
seeking relief from this condition,
had introduced in the senate, OF
which he was a hold-over member, an
elaborate public utilities act which
placed all rate-making powers in the
hands OF the state railway commits.
siOn
This act dragged along until the
last day of the session when, between
battles on the Brinton newspaper bill
the house took it up and passed it
Somewhere along the line, someone
appears to have inserted In this act q
clause which DEGREES that the public
utilities Of North Dakota shall be
assessed for purposes of taxation
upon valuation arrived at by the
state railway commission, after its
experts shall have made a careful
survey Of the property Z tl1sAr'.s3
This fact was not disclosed until
last week, when the Burleigh county
commission jumped one Bismarck
utility 40 percent and another two
or three hundred percent The util
tiles concerned had no representative
at the meeting Of the. commission
when it sat as a board of equaliza
ti0n, and the commissioners had 6
very good time of it. Now, attorney:
claim, the new valuation fixed by the
county, commission isn't worth
tinker's pet cuss-wordsdi0uh sl4tqey.
County commissions senerally,s es
pecially in those where the league 4
in control, have had an idea that pub
lie utilities were doing some tibbine
about their valuation, and these
values. as returned by city and village
boards, have been boosted quite lib
orally. The boosts may stick, bu
only If declared correct by the engi
neers and accountants of the NORTH
Dakota railway commission. If th'
railway commission finds that thu
valuations are higher than heretofore
granted, then it must concede tha
the earning power of the utilitie!
should be increased, and rates to con
sumers will go up.
