Mlnn. Laws Aid Farmers 10 Own
Market Machinery But Bar Such
Schemes As G. y. Stores Company
ofA ntheMi
The Second in Series 81 Articles 81, the Minnesota Plan

s Minnesota decided that the middle
mon were getting too much of the
farmers profits, Therefore it was de-
1cided to make it possible for the
farmer to become his own middle
man. 1s 4 u
The method chosen to make this
possible was that of cooperation. The
farmers were to own the marketing
machinery thus ensuring protection
for their, interests. rather than en-
bark on a program of state ownership
which would result in the farmers be-
ing left helpless while a hostile ma
jority manipulated the marketing sys-
tenn through political domination. q. L,
5 So the problem which Minnesota
faced was that of working out a co.
operative program which would give
the farmers the control of their own
marketing system.
Law Enacted.
The first step to be taken was the
enactment of a law which would botl1
make lit possible for the farmers to
combine comparatively for all proper
purposes, and which at the same
time would give the greatest protec-
ton to- the individuals thus combin-
ing.
Minnesota already had a good CO.
operative law. passed by the legisla-
ture in 1919, but the 1s21%session saw
that it could be improved, and pro-
ceeded to- act accordingly. The result
! is a law which ensures real co-opera-
ton. II
And Minnesota profited by the mis-
takes which have been made in North
I Dakota. No such, joke on the farm
lers as the notorious Consumers Unit
Fed Stores Co., with which the farm
ers of North Dakota were victimizeo
by, some iofsA. C. Townley's associates
Is possible under the Minnesota law.

One Contract siened.
Only one contract has been signed
out of the 81 houses built by the
Home Builders' association. This was
on the first house built For Mr..
Adams. the contract being signed be-
fore he was employed by the asso,ia-
ton. This house was built long te-
lore the regular program, which be-
gan last year, was started. In addi-
ton the Home Builders purchased
four houses. Contracts will be pre-.
sented Tor Signature in the near fu-
ture, it is said
who have home builders houses re-
vealed that none had written 4; con-
tracts. but had been given estimate.
when the houses were to be built,
which they declare are verbal con-
tracts. When they learned, only re-
Gently, that the costs would far ex-
ceed the estimated figures they began
to consider means Of action.

Although complete figures win
not be available until recheckfnc

builders have learned ! of their
costs. Here arc some cxamnles.

There were two projects outside of

The. Method Used.
The method used by the Home
Builders when the program wa3 put
under way has caused a great deal of
the present trouble. A man wanted
to build a house. He went to the
I1oMe bul1ueTS ana looked over stand
ard plans. He was given an estimat-
ed cost. Usually contractors figure
that the final cost will not differ from
the estimated cost more than per
| cent. The builders Of houses, relying
on this custom. figured the cost OF the
houses at approximately the esttmat-
ed cost. Many of them were forced
to strain themselves to figure out
means of paying for the houses at the
estimated costs. Now that the cost
is so far greater they do not know
what they can do. Only few stand
ard plans were on file. The builder
| was permitted to have this plan alter
ed to meet his wishes in the building.
such as having fire place installed,
French windows, etc. These were
called extras" The builder would;
be given an estimate on the cost OF
the extras. Many OF them now ind
that the verbal estimate given on the
extra" is far below the cost which
the Home Builders has determined.
With Judge Euessle having given
an informal opinion in the Lemke
! hearing here yesterday that the per-
sons who had houses built by the
Home Builders are tstuck" for the
actual cost, and builders preparing to
wage a court battle, it appears that
