WANTS GAMBLING
IN GRAIN STOPPED.
American Farm Bureau Chief
Asks Congress to End
Speculation.
SETS LIMIT AT TWO YEARS
Clifford Thorne Likens Chicago Board
OF Trade to Monte Carlo-Farmers
Threaten to Cut Yield-Want
Tariff Protection.

y Washington, Jan. 26.-Describing
the Chicago. board Of trade as "the
greatest speculative market in the
world" Clifford Thorne of Chicago
urged before the house agriculture
committee enactment Of Legislation
which would eliminate speculation in
grain futures at the end of definite
period. He appeared as spokesman
for the American Farm Bureau fedora
tion and the Farmers National Grain
Dealers association.
Sets Limit at TWO Years.
Mr.. Thorne suggested that the limit
be set at two years, which, he said,
would give the elevator dealers and
milling interests time in which to re-
adjust themselves.
The witness declared that more than
90 per cent of the trade in grain fu-
lures on the Chicago board Of trade in
Volved transactions In which no deliv-
cry Of the actual grain was intended.
The yearly deals, he charged, tOtaled
81 times the actual grain received and
three times the worlds yearly wheat
production.
1.-THE Louisiana lottery" Mr.. Thorne
continued, "in its palmiest days, did
about $6O,OOO,OOO a year business,
while over Sic, 600, 100000 is wagered
on the Chicago board of trade"
Bigger Than Monte Carlo.
He added that the commissions on
the yearly business at Chicago were
three times the receipts of Monte
Carlo.
With the conclusion Of Mr.. Thorne's
Testimony the committee closed pub
lie hearings pending bills to regulate
future trading on all exchanges, and
will proceed to draft a bill to report to
the house.
Farmers Of the country will reduce
their production If congress fails to
provide tariff protection for their
crops, T. w. Mcneil, a Colorado farm
er, declared before the house ways
and means committee. Mr. Mcneil
urges duties which would serve as a
stimulant to production, saying that
was what was needed, ito put pep into
the agricultural industry"
w. A. Wentworth, representing the
Iowa Dairy council, said heavy i'm
portations Of butter substitutes were
causing losses to the American dairy
linen and farmers, and advocated high
duties on ingredients of such prod
lucts.
