What the Nonpaisan of
What Has Been Done Garry These Promises

The car shortage threatened to interfere with the
securing of gravel, the railroads could not fur
nish us with gondola cars, but we succeeded in
making arrangements with the Northern Pacific for
the of their work train and with it hauled 5000
yards of gravel from Melvin, Mimi, 35 miles
away.
"We secured IL carloads of steel and million
feet of lumber in spite of the shortage in these
terials, and have completed the forms for the en-
tire buildings.
Contract was signed with the Lehigh Cement
company for the 10000 barrels of cement required
at excellent price, 81 barrel below the present
market, and deliveries were to begin in May. The
Lehigh company to secure this cement from
factory at Winnipeg. The Winnipeg factory is
equipped to turn out 1000 barrels day. On ac-
count of the shortage and the coal shortage
however, the Winnipeg factory was unable to get
the eastern coal which it equipped to This
made it necessary to use Manitoba Ignite With
the Ignite coal the factory able to turn out only
little more than half it's usual capacity and instead
of furnishing the Lehigh company with 5000 bar
rels day their quota cut to 1000 barrels. Of
this amount it agreed, following conferences at
Winnipeg and at the Lehigh company headquarters
in Iowa three weeks ago, the Grand Forks elevator

dealer should be revoked for any improper or illegal
action.
Doctor r. r. Ladd, president of the North Dakota
agricultural college and one. of the leading grain
experts Of the nation, placed in charge of the
administration of this law. Doctor Ladd estimated
that in the one year of 1918 this law saved the
farmers of North Dakota $12, $500 0O0s y*
4 In the 1919 session Of the legislature this law
was re-enacted with some additional provisions
One Of the most important of the new provisions
was that buyer, in purchasing any kind of grain,
must either pay the farmer for all dockage of value
Qess the cost Of cleaning) else return the dock
age, which the farmer could use for feed. Another
provision allows the state authorities to determine
the proper margin of profit which country elevators
may make, just as the interstate commerce commits
sion and the state railroad commissions are author
lied to determine the margins of profits which rail
roads are allowed to make
The stringent provisions of the grain inspection
act, amended raised the wrath Of the members Of
the Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce. A suit
brought in the federal courts and three federal
judges, sitting in Minnesota at the behest of the
grain buying interests, issued an Injunction re.

ing the law before the case could be heard on it,

was to get 400 barrels day. Under this agreement
the Grand Forks elevator, three weeks ago, to
be supplied with 10 of cement at once and two
cars q day thereafter. s555#
"It proved impossible for the Winnipeg factory to
fill this order promptly, but 12 cars are hand
and more are coming.
sWe will rush work with all possible speed so as
to complete all buildings which are to be equipped
with machinery before cold weather sets in. Dur
ing the winter the machinery can be installed and
the bins can be completed early next year, that
the entire plant will be ready before the 1921 crop
sets in.
q do not feel that there is any effort on the part
of the cement companies to cripple the Grand Forks
work. Contractors everywhere have found it next
to impossible to get cement and throughout the
Northwest dozens Of paving and construction jobs,
planned for 1920, have been abandoned or put over
for another year because of the npossbilty Of get
ting materials"
u Mr.. Lykken said labor on the Grand Forks job
had not only been plentiful but stvery good" The
workers are taking almost much interest in the
state-oWned elevator as the farmers of North Da-
kota, who have worked and fought for the big inn
provement year after year
Up until year ago it was impossible for the
League to take any steps toward construction of

legislature it would be
impossible at the present
time to go ahead with
work on the big mill and
elevator.
Plank No. 2 Of the
Z que platform is:
estate inspection of grain
and grain dockage." "
b.. The first step toward
carrying out this pledge
was taken at the legisla-
tive session of 1917. In
spite Of the opposition in
the upper house the
Leaguers forced through
a bill establishing the
state grain inspection de-
partment. This law pro-
vided a licensing system
for all country elevators
and other buyers. 1t pro-
vided that in case of a
dispute over the proper
grade, the state should
fix the grade and that the
buyer must pay the price
for the grade determined
by the state. 1t provided
that the license of any

join 1t is going to elect men to Office pledged in
advance to make laws that the farmers need" said
ToWnley. "This is what our men are going to be
pledged to carry out" and he showed the farmer
slip of paper that said:
sNoNPARTISAN LEAGUE PROGRAM
State ownership of terminal elevators, flour
mills, packing houses and cold storage plants.
State inspection of grain and grain dockage
Exemption of farm improvements from taxation.
Estate hail insurance.
Rural credit banks operated at cost"
And the farmer usually said: '"That sounds good
to me-" and signed up member of the League
Nearly $4,000 farmers in North Dakota had affirm
ed their faith in this program of five simple panks
before the primary election of 1916, year later.
The original program of the League has been left
unchanged to the present, except that it has been
generally agreed that packing plants and cold stor
age plants not to be started until the terminal

RAILROAD PARALYSIS AND
COAL SHORTAGE DELAY WORK

Overcoming all difficulties caused by the car
shortage and difficulty of securing materials, the
contractors have collected all necessary gravel steel
and lumber, built all needed forms and were ready
to proceed June 1 with the actual pouring of con-
crete-but the cement failed to appear
For more than two months the job has been de-
layed by the nonarrival of the promised cement,
during the period when work should have been
