Chickdsha Trades
Council in Favor
OF Warehouse Bill

The Chiekasha Trades Council
favors the adoption of the Ware
house bill now pending before the
Oklahoma legislature.
Views of the council are set forth
in a resolution unanimously adopted
by the council through its legislative
committee. The resolution is signed
by W. II. Gilroy, c. L. Bond, Walter
Thompson, A. A. Cabbiness and VIM.
Ferguson and reads as follows:
Whereas. There is now pending
in the Oklahoma Legislature, bill
providing for an appropriation Of
$2,O00OO0 for the erection of ware
houses in which to store farm pro-
ducts, and,
Whereas; We believe that an ar
rangement whereby the products of
the farm may be placed upon the
market, gradually, all through the
year as the needs of the people may
demand, would be a great benefit to
all classes. And,
Whereas; 1t is a matter of COM
mon knowledge that under the pres
ent system the farmer is compelled
to dump the product of his years
labor upon the market within the
limit of few months, thus, placing
him at the mercy of Money Sharks,
Spectators Food Profiteers and
Board of Trades Gamblers, who
take advantage of this situation to
depress prices paid the producer.
And who, later, manipulate the mar
ket in such manner as to force the
ultimate consumers to pay abnor--
mally high prices for the necessities
OF life. Therefore be it,
Resolved; That we heartily en-
dorse the Warehouse Bill now be-
fore the Oklahoma Legislature and
urge our Senators and Representa-
tives to use all reasonable effort to
secure its PASSAGE
After red-hot debates, featured by
the most profound political and par
limentary tactics and several roll
calls, the state senate yesterday af.
