Minnesota Grain Exchanges Are
Thrown Open 10 Farmers Sales
Organizations Under New Laws
hin the Minnesota Plan


Although live stock, dairy products,
etc, make up large proportion OF
the products OF the Minnesota farm
ers, wheat still continues to be the
great stable crop OF that state as it is
of North Dakota. ",
Therefore any really comprehensive
plan for removing the obstacles iE the
farmers road to market in Minnesota
must include q plan for the marketing
OF wheat. @ ,T :
With this end in view the Mime
sofa legislature at its last session pro-
ceeded to pass such laws as would
make the way clear as possible for the
marketing, Of wheat on cooperative
basis. To do this they made the Min
dealings OF ofco-bperative wheat mar
keting organizations on large scale.
For some time past the local farm
ers' elevators, usually operated on the
cooperative plan, have played a
prominent part in the marketing of
Minnesota wheat. Last year, for ex-
ample, 400 farmers elevators mar
keted 80 per cent OF the Minnesota
wheat crop. 4,
Limits of Present System.
This system, however, had it's limi-
tations since cooperative associations
were not able to operate on the Min
HedpOAS #CHdMDer OIL com mmerce on aC-
count Of the rules of that organiza-
ton, nor were they in a position to
take advantage of the terminal ele-
vator facilities at, the Twin Cities and
Duluth.
So the Minnesota legislature pro-
ceeded to take some action in this
matter, and the first step was to open
the Minneapolis chamber of com
merce to cooperative marketing asso-
Citations. Up to this time they had
been barred from trading there by a
rule Of the chamber which forbade
rebating. This rule as construed pre-
vented the redistribution Of profits tc
stockholders, especially on a patron
age. basis which was a prime requisite
for cooperative concerns. &

tive to last Jan. 1. It also was urged
freight and passenger traffic; would
prove of real help to business through
savings in freight charges and added
expenses, of travelling sa1esmen.

New Law Passed.

"
To remedy this condition the legis-
lature passed a law declaring all grain
and live stock exchanges to be public
and expressly providing that
any cooperative association which
was willing to comply with any
reasonable rule of such exchanges
should he permitted to obtain mem
bership therein.
And here comes the meat of
the law: "Any rule, regulation
or bylaw of such market which
shall be designated or construed
rs controlling, limiting or n10i1i-
flying the articles OF incorpora-
ton. constitution or bylaws Of
amy association. company or cor 5
poratiOn in the distribution of Its
profits to its & stockholders and
members shall be deemed to be
.unFcas0nable." s..ss
Then to put teeth in the measure
it is provided that any chamber of
commerce or board Of trade which
shall violate this. law or. refuse, or un-
reasonably delay the admission of any
such applicant for membership. or by
refusal to trade with such applicants
shall be guilty of felony and may
be- prosecuted as provided by law.
Also. the exchange in question may be
closed up. PSI i,.
The statute is drawn in such Ian
guage that its evasion would seem to
be practically impossible.
How About Big Biz:
Remember this law wasn't
passed by the Nonpartisan league.

merce what he thinks of the new
law.
This law will probably be. fought in
the courts by the chamber OF COM
merce forces, but the members OF
the Minnesota administration are
constitutional. ID
This means that any combination
of cooperative concerns which may
see At to go into the marketing busi-
ness will be able to go into the Min
neapolis exchange and compete with
the companies now doing business
there. If they can give the service
they will get the business.
Service Will BE Test.
Under the cooperative plan COM
missions which have formerly been
paid to the old line brokers can be
paid to the farmers own companies.
and will be paid back to the men who
ship the wheat. after the necessary
cost of selling has been paid.
The new law will throw the Min
neapolis market open to the new
farmers selling agencies now in pro-
cess of formation throughout the
country If either Of them wishes to
use 1t. ~
incidentally 1t is dificult to
see how the chamber Of COM
mcrce can practice anything re-
serlbling extortion when it has to
compete with the farmers own
companies. The only way it can
get the business will be to give
better service to the farmers
than the farmers can give them
selves. If it can do this 1t will
deserve the business.
