Grain Grading Case May Result
in inspection Powers Be
ing Transferred

What further action the state OF
North Dakota will take in the grain
grading cases will be decided by Seth
Richardson, of Fargo, special assist
ant Attorney-General in the cases, ii
was said today by Acknowledgement
Sveinbjorn Johnson.
Following receipt Of word that the
supreme court had decided against
North Dakota in the case originally
instituted by the Farmers Grain Com
pany, of Embden, N. D., Mr.. Johnson
directed a letter to Mr.. Richardson
asking him to look into other pend
ing matters to protect the state
interests. Because Mr.. Johnson was
an attorney in the action of the grain
company, he continued Mr. Richardson
as special assistant encouragement
There is the case Of the Homer
Farmers Elevator Company agains,
the state pending in the supreme
court of the United States in which
virtually the same questions are
raised. Until the text of the opinion
Of the supreme court in the Embden
case has been considered by attorn-
eys, it is. not certain just what may
be the disposition Of this case or what
further action may be taken.
One of the results Of the decision
of the supreme court, according tc
opinion expressed at the state railroad
commission offices, will be to trans
fer the licensing and inspection Of
grain elevators back to the state rail
road and warehouse commission. The
licensing and inspection was trans
ferred from this body to the state In
spector at the Agricultural College
under the grain grading act.
The grain grading act was enacted
by Nonpartisan league Legislature
and great benefits were claimed tt
have Injured to the farmers OF tht
state under it. This claim was dis
puted by many.

new ROAD LAW
IS OPPOSED BY
COMMISSIONERS
Representatives Of Four Coun
ties at Grand Forks Take
Action in Matter

Grand Forks, N. D., Feb. 28.- Coun-
ty commissioners Of Grand Forks,
Walsh, Pembina and Cavalier coun-
ties, in conference here with mem
bers of the North Dakota highway
commission, adopted resolution OPP
posing the proposed North Dakota
constitutional amendment, providing
for a state system Of highways, which
is to be submitted to the voters at
the November election.
The resolution says:
"Resolved, That it is the sense Of
this meeting that we believe it is to
the best interests of the taxpayers of
our state to disapprove the proposed
amendment to the constitution to be
submitted to the voters at the Novem-
Der election, in respect to the system OF
state highways; for the reason that
past experience has proven that any
system of highway construction in
conjunction with federal aid is ex-
ceedingly extravagant, due to an
overlapping of duties and multiple
cation of efforts on the part OF the
federal government and the state gov
ernment. ~
I'VE are satisfied that just as SER
viceable roads can be constructed un-
der existing laws, without constitu-
tional amendment, for so per cent Of
the cost of the roads now being con-
structed with the socalled federal aid
act.
eve further recommend that the
citizens give careful thought and study
to the proposed amendment, in con-
junction with the present federal
aid act, particularly for the reason
that the federal aid act provides that
immense sums of money shall be eA-
pended on not to exceed seven per cent
OF the roads Of the state.
"Be it further resolved that copy
Of these resolutions he forwarded to
the board of county commissioners OF
each county in the state"
