Grain Exchanges. Fight for Existence
Believed Have Been Put Permanently Defensive
The Iantz and Tincher Bills and Their Chances ].

Board of Trade is being raised in Illinois by the
Chicago Board of Trade. When the first of the
Lantz bills passed the senate the fireworks started
Now battle is being waged with the forces of the
board Of trade, the grain gamblers and the banks
on one side, arrayed against the farmers the large
cash grain merchants and practically the entire
producing element of the country.
The menace s-of "Townley and the Nonpartisan
league" is.being used as argument in an effort
to scare the hackers of the Lantz bill into discard
ing it. It is said to be Townley bill by its enc
mics, who claim it's enactment will bring about
"Townleyism." But the Nonpartisan league has no
organization in Illinois, and Townley had no hand
in drawing the measure. -
Perhaps the biggest factor the board of trade has
to fight and which is giving it all sorts Of trouble,
is the large cash grain interests and elevator men
who are opposed to future trading It has been
charged openly in newspapers and on the ex-
changes that agents of the elevator and cash grain
interests namely Armour Rosenbaum and others,
The nonpartisan leader., 1921-06-13

had men working throughout the state in favor of
the Lantz bills. The board of trade claims that it
has been double crossed by the big elevator inter
ests, who, it Claims want future trading abolished
(which will: occur, they say, if the second Lantz
bil5becones a law), to enable them to control the
grain situation with their enormous resources and
facilities. %* ...s
With a battle thus being waged within the ranks
of the members Of the largest trading exchange in
the country, the Importance Of the fight readily
be realized. The board of trade claims that the
second Lantz bill will eliminate it market fac
tor and will force it to either move to some other
state or: to- transact it's future trading through
some other exchanges, preferably Minneapolis,
Kansas City and Milwaukee. This is a funny ar
gument, as the claim has been made that gambling
plays part in the manipulation of the grain mar
ket. IF the board of trade is put out of business
by antigambling acts it will be clear evidence that
gambling does play the most important role. In
other Words it would be proof positive that future
trading is based on gambling, as the second Lantz
bill merely provides that the seller shall be in pos
The nonpartisan leader., 1921-06-13

record shall tall times be open to the inspection of
any representatives of the United States depart
ment Of agriculture and United States department
of Justice and such record shall be in permanent
form and shall show the parties to all such con-
tracts, any assignments transfers Of such con-
tracts, the parties to the terms of such assign
ments and the manner in which said contract is
fulfilled, discharged or terfninated:''1> III
While this bill, if passed in its present FORM will
be stringent the Lantz bill in Illinois, the
grain gamblers have less present fear for it, as its
final strength lies in the hands of the secretary of
agriculture, from whom they do not anticipate any
drastic move as long as the Harding administration
remains in Office =. -~.-'.
AS to the Minnesota "joker" BILL which goes into
effect August 1, is it going to stop gambling? Ask
a member of the Minneapolis Chamber of Com
merce that question and then watch him laugh.
Are steps being taken by the Minneapolis Cham
ber of Commerce and the Duluth Board Of Trade,
as result of the Minnesota act, to prevent agam-
bling" in the pits? If they are. they are not ap-

LANTZ BILLS DESCRIBED;
THEY HAVE REAL TEETH

The first places the Chicago grain exchange, the
largest grain marketing system in the country, un-
der the jurisdiction Of the state agricultural de-
will shortly come before the house, and is reported
to have excellent chances for passage The second
bill which provides that in all future trading con-
tracts the seller shall be in actual potential pos
session of grain, and shall contemplate actual de-
livery, will shortly be given test vote in the
senate.
The second of the Lantz bills, which is primarily;
to eliminate gambling. is patterned after the orig
inal bill which introduced in the Minnesota leg
islature at it's recent session But the Minnesota
bill was amended after hard fight until the "teeth"
were drawn out. -.~ ,: =

and a fairer market place for
grain may fail. The defenders
of the system as it exists have
more than once wriggled out
of as tight a fix. But it is safe
to say that the grain ex-
changes have been perma-
.nently put on the defensive,
and that the failure of the
Lantz and Tincher bills, if they
do fail, will be followed by a
new attempt of agriculture to
get justice. And the. new at
tempt, like the present, will
have better chance of success
than it's predecessors. 1t is
even doubtful if substantial
concessions by the exchanges
in attempting themselves to
eliminate the worst features
of their practices, will head off
drastic legislation within the
next two or three years, al
though the exchanges may be
successful in their fight against
the present bills.
The Leader has commented
on the inadequacy of the re-
cent Minnesota so-called anti
gambling act. The other day
Chicago Board of Trade men,
bers clinched the argument
against it when they announced
that should the Lantz bills
pass the Illinois legislature,
the Chicago brokers would
move a part of their business
to Minnesota. But where will
they move to if the Tincher bill
passes congress ?
Two bills are before the Illi-
nois legislature known as the
Lantz bills, which, if passed,
will place the board of, trade

The Tincher bill is now before the senate at
Washington, having been passed by the house over
the protests of the Minneapolis Chamber of Com
merce and the Chicago Board of Trade This bill
provides for government control over dealings in
grain, including wheat, corn oats, barley rye, flax
and sorghum, and levies a tax of 20 cents bushel

The nonpartisan leader., 1921-06-13

killed the Gapper bill in congress, which sought to
place prohbitve tax grain gambling But the
fight against the exchanges has been renewed with
new vigor, and today the tme-honored practices of
the grain pits are really menaced with extinction.
The Illinois legislature at this writing is ex-
pected to pass the Lantz bills, aimed at the grain
gamblers, particularly the Chicago Board of Trade,
the largest exchange in the country. And the
Tincher bill in congress- to regulate the exchanges
and trading in futures appears to have a much
better chance than it's predecessor, the Capper bi
ever had.
