Bill to Kill Grain Gambling Passed

Minnesota farmers won another legis
lative victory, when the lower house
passed the bill to prohibit short selling
of grain and other farm produets. The,
victory was overwhelming, with only Is
votes against the measure and 1Ol for
it.
The farmers of Minnesota. by voic-
ing their opinions, have played the big
gest part in the decisive action Of the
house, L. E. Potter, president of the
Minnesota Farm Bureau federation,
said. F'They asked the legislature te
pass a smeasure to stop short selling Of
grain and other farm products and at
the same time protect hedging. The
house has responded to the wishes of
the farmers.'
The results of the farm bureau feder-i
alton IS statewide referendum on the.
bill, showing the farm bureaus of 62
counties virtually solid in support of
the measure, were laid before every
member Of the house few hours before
the measure, came up for passage,
Speakers upholding the bill stressed
the fact brought out by the referendum,
that 100000 farmers know what they
want there's no guessing about it, they
know.'
The measure now goes to the senate.
The farm bureau referendum was the
first ever taken in the state to ascertain
the actual stand of the rural population
on a matter pending before the legis-
lature.

The action of the council Monday
evening Of cancelling the deal with the
Minnesota Loan & Trust Company for
the disposal Of the $4,000 bond issue,
and reselling same to the Gates-White
Company, was reversed yesterday, as q
result of the finding of an error which
was responsible for the misunderstand-
ing.
At meeting Of the city council We'd
nesday evening, Mr.. Coburn, representa-
tive OF the Minnesota Loan & Trust

that the company had no intention of
Shipping up on their contract

FARMERS WAR ON
Blue SKY FRAUDS
LAUNCHES MOVE
TO CHECK PROMOTION OF
WORTHLESS COMPANIES

st. Paul. March 1O.-"Bme Sky''
salesman and fake promoters have a
new foe in Minnesota.
Sixty thousand farmers, through
their state organization, the Minnesota
Farm Bureau federation, today announ.
ced their intention Of breaking up the
'..skin games'' by which, according to
estimates Of the state securities com.
mission, millions of dollars are ilched
from the citizens of Minnesota every
year.
The state federation today undertook
an intensive campaign to organize blue
sky committees to every county, and in
scores of townships. These committees
are to be made up of farmers. Their
task is to be the investigation of doubt
full promotion schemes in which their
neighbors are asked to invest their
money. Many county farm bureaus al
ready have organized such committees.
The state federation today called on
every county bureau that has not yet
formed such a committee, to do so at
once, and to- urge all its members to re-
fuse to consider any proposal to buy
stock or sign contracts in promotion
schemes that have not been approved
by the farm bureaus "blue sky' COM
mittee in that county.
"Minnesota farmers have been swim
died out of millions of dollars when
they thought they were investing their
savings in sound securities,' L. E. Pot
ter, president of the Minnesota Farm
Bureau federation, said today. "The
time has come to put an end to the
work Of the shady stock salesman and
other bunco men. When the farmer
knows that group of his neighbors
stands ready to investigate all promo
tion schemes, he will hesitate before
handing his money over to some firm
that refuses to be examined
Swindling schemes that are beyond
the reach Of the present laws are being
worked every day in the state, Charles
J. Andre, executive officer of the state
securities commission said.
eff persons, who are approached by
stock statesmen or agents for promotion
schemes will have nothing to do with
them until a committee of businesslike
hardheaded farmers has Investigated
the proposition, the farm bureaus can
save hundreds Of thousands of dollars
for the people of this state by helping
to wipe out the fake promoter" he
said.

the Little Falls Grocery & Coffee Com
pany, will either be sold or the stock

known as a progressive business man
here. He first operated a.retail grocery,
disposins of same to Messrs. Gotta and
Curtis three years ago. He then started
wholesale grocery and coffee roast

in event that satisfactory deal cannot
be made, the stock will be closed out

that someone will take over the bust
ness and continue it, however, as he be-
ieves that such an establishment is an
asset to the city. ~
