BACK UP FARM BILLS
Minnesota Farm Bureau declarations
In Referendum Strongly Favor
Legislation Admitting Them
To Trade Membership.

st. Paul-The Minnesota Farm Blu
reau federation has announced its sup
port of the three measures involving
marketing methods pending in the leg
islature, after receiving reports of the
first primary referendum conducted in
the state.
AS a result of the referendum, rep
resentatives of the state federation
will appear at joint hearing of the
house and senate committee. They
will urge passage of the public mar
ket bill compelling boards of trade or
chambers of commerce to admit far
mer selling agencies to membership as
cooperative associations, and the flu
ture dealings bill, which defines gamb-
ling contracts in the sale of wheat and
other farm products, declares them
illegal and provides for the enforce
ment of the act by fines or Jail SEN
fences. The state federation also an
nounced its support of the resolution
requiring the board of grain appeal to
restore Minnesota grain grade instead
of the present federal grade.
Returns from the counties that have
reported to the federation calling for
a referendum were unanimous in their
support of the grain gambling and
board of trade bill Only one county
farm bureau voted in opposition to the
establishment of Minnesota grain
grade.
While the referendum still is under
way in many counties, the unanimity
of the returns received up to now con-
WINGED officers of the state federation
that its $4,000 members were prac-
tically unit in their demand that con-
tracts for future sales of farm pro-
ducts. without intention of actual de-
livery. be declared illegal
Both a socalled grain gambling bill
and the bill to admit co-operatives to
the chamber of commerce were passed
without opposition at a mass meeting
of 500 farmers at Hastings.
Among the counties that have re-
ported unanimously are: Waseca,
kittson, Dodge, Traverse, Blue Earth,
Yellow Medicine, Becker. Otter Tail,
Carlton, Dakota. Rice and Benton. The
Yellow Medicine county bureau adopt
ed a resolution stating that punish
ment for violation of the grain gamb-
ling bill be made more drastic and
providing that gambling in future
grain be made felony punishable with
at least one year in the state peniten-
tiary."
The House marketing and the Sen
ate agricultural committees will hold
a joint meeting to consider the bill to
make the grain exchanges open mar
kets, opening them up to cooperative
associations of all kinds The two
committees will consider the anti-fu-
lures bills.
Following two public hearings the
two committees will consider the meas
ures and make their reports to their
respective houses. It is expected that
the House committee on marketing
will report the bills in the near future.
Minneapolis grain men are prepared
to protest against any measure which
will open the Chamber of Commerce to
any type of cooperation organization.
regardless of the method by which it
distributes its profits.

ORE TAX COMPROMISE
Authors of Tonnage Tax Bills Get To-
sether In Effort To Draft Single
BilI-compromise Bill Ex-
pected Within Week.

st. Paul-The house committee on
taxation indicated at the opening of
this weeks session, that it viii appoint
a subcommittee of five to draft COM
promise tonnage bill for submission to
the house.
A motion to this effect was present
ed to the committee at the session
early this week, but was withdrawn
temporarily so mining men coulC APP
pear and conclude hearings on the ton
mage tax which is in progress.
Representatives c.. M. Bendixen and
A. C. WEIGH have had conferences re-
garding a compromise on their bills
and both said that an agreement had
practically been reached.
Friends of the tonnage tax want me
to strike out provision in my bill
making the proposed tax of 8 per cent
of net profits in lieu of all other state
taxes" said Mr. Bendixen. II inserted
this because the tax commission and
Governor Preus both felt that ton
mage tax bill would be unconstitutional
without this provision. However, am
for a tonnage tax and whatever the tax
committee and judiciary committee
may agree upon will be satisfactory"
The committee probably will frame
its bill and have il ready for introduc-
ton within 10 days.
Conscientious DIRECTORS" who were
forced to serve in the army will not
share in the benefits of the Minnesota
soldiers bonus law.
The house once more made this
plain, when it buried by vote of SO
to % the bill by Otto d. Nellermoe,
Minneapolis socialist, removing the
limitations placed by the 1919 law on
sharing in the bonus. The vote fol
lowed the most peppery debate Of the
session.
Gladiatorical combats between man
and beast would be an offense against
the law under a bill backed by the
Minnesota Humane society, which is
to be introduced this week in the leg
islature. The bill is prompted by the
wild west show at the State Fair last
fall, which aroused considerable adj
handling of steers by the cowboys.
Prairie chicken hunters may have
their inning this fall. The senate in
committee of the whole recommended
bill opening the season for 1921.
Fishing season would open May Is in
stead of May 1. under another bill
given favorable consideration. The
object being to protect fish in spawn
ing season.
Even though the house defeated a
bill changing the weight of corn on the
ear from 20 pounds to so pounds in
October and November and rs pounds
in December and January, the senate
unanimously passed the measures, af-
ter an amendment providing that buy
ers may" take these weights This
means the bill will come up again in
the house, and with the compulsory
provision stricken out, probably it will
pass.
