The first resolution for the solu-
tion of the marketing problem to
come up before the 1921 state legis-
lature was prepared for introduction
in the house of representatives this
afternoon by Representative Swan
son of Brown county
He would memorabilia congress to
fix a cost price of grain production
duction each year; authorize farm
ers to store their grain in elevators
and borrow on certificates of storage
up to 80 per cent of that cost price.
He would have a board of trade
dealing, regulated to eliminate
gambling but would not prohibit it
entirely
Anti-saloon forces have prepared
bill to present to committee adj
justing the question of sacramental
wine sale to churches. The present
law allows retail druggists to secure
permits for the sale of sacramental
wine, believing that no difficulty
would arise But two retail drug
gists in the state took out such per-
mits.
The bill, proposed to cure the con-
sequent difficulty in getting such
wine, would authorize any whole
sale druggist in the state to ship
sacramental wine direct to ministers
or designated church officials on or
der from the state sheriff. The limit
will probably be fixed at IL gallons,
the amount agreed to by representa-
tives of all churches at the special
session last year and the profit on
such sales will be limited to Is per
cent.
Minnehaha county boasts the
youngest member in the present ses-
sion of the South Dakota legislature
in the person of D. J. Richardson,
newly elected member of the house
of representatives.
Richardson was born in Sioux
Falls June 4, 1896, being just over
the age limit at the time Of his elec-
tion.
He is an ex-service man.
