GRAIN GAMBLER THREATS
Threats by the Chicago Board Of
md. made before the Illinois leg
hture recently, that It would take
hu,ipess to Minneapolis or Winni-
=, we're repeated here when the
mae passed the Tincher bill by .
ue Of 269 to So.
The press which owes first al
Gance to the grain combine is
,syvhere attacking this bill, conse-
pnty it is important to note that
i clause most complained Of is that
Iheh gives the secretary Of agricul-.
hr power to admit cooperative
Inner organizations to memberships
Eln exchange.
Grsin men declare that this would
uake handling Of grain on commission
ndically impossible. But what they,
nan Is that cooperative organiza-
ions could save the farmer so much in
be hitherto closed shop business that
beg would in time have most Of the
ainess. Ef
ASIDE from this provision it would
ppear that the gran combine has lit;
h to fear, because the bill makes the
rrtary Of agriculture the king pin
regulating the exchanges and he in
nm is entirely responsible to a presi-
nt who not only owes his position to
reat business interests but believes
+ them thoroughly.
His refusal to alter the federal grain
Tsdes would Indicate the way the
md is blowing.
The senate has not yet acted on the
Fneher bill, and the grain interests,
Fh the press and with the natural
FORMATIONS Of most Of the senator's,
pay secure considerable alterations in
That body.
AN ANTK-ARGUMENT
ne' Of the arguments most heard
en against regulating the grain ex-
Faanges is that the farmers are mere
s'aios who do not know what is
E@d for them. And the chief proof
MS point is that the farmers used
agste against the Minnesota
lsaes, and then when they got the
i Ieeal grades they found these worse
aa n the old grades.
whereas the federal grades were
I Islet9 a political trick to head off
Esaand for grading according to mill
h. h. 'aues. They were of, for and by
h. gam interests. No real, bona fide
|.s s.'usl OF the Northwest ever advo-
A,sa them OF approved them.
h wpes should not run high among
h. Isfs over the vote of 269 to 50 In
|H H. house. The farmers do not have
|s pas many friends or near friends
