GRAIN SCALPINC
IN MINNEAPOLIS
Federal Trade Commission Tells
Congress Practice Should
Be Forbidden.

Washington - Legislation requiring
operation of public terminal grain ele-
vators by railroad companies was re-
commended to Congress by the Fed
eral Trade commission, in a report on
terminal grain marketing. which also
urged improved banking facilities for
the movement of grain in the North
west. Elimination OF the financing Of
commission houses by terminal eleva-
tors, improvement in the methods of
making up cash quotations and the
elimination or reduction of so-called
insurance charges levied on country
shippers at Duluth, were among other
recommendations.
Regarding the practice Of "scalping"
cash grain. the commission declared
that "as conducted at Minneapolis it
has been to a large degree at the ex-
pense of the consignment business and
of the co~nsigners, and recommended
that the employment of the practice by
firms or individuals in any way con
nected with the cash grain commits
sion business should be forbidden.
Some form OF governmental super
vision of privately-issued country
price reports of wide circulation, ii
was further asserted, should be
adopted.

IRELAND GIVEN
FULL SUFFRAGE
Supreme Court is Granted Broad
PoWers--Right of Appeal
Guaranteed.

L~ondon-The draft OF the New Irish
constitution, made public on the eve
OF the Irish elections, gives, as the
document itself states, force Of law to
the Anglo-Irish treaty and declares
any provision Of the Constitution or
any amendment thereto. or any law
enacted under the Constitution, which
is in respect r%epugnant to the treaty,
shall be void and imperative.
The Constitution thus embodies con
nection with the British Crown, as
already established in the treaty, and
generally places relations between Ire
land and the Empire on the same
basis as Canada and the other domin-
ions.
The Constitution requires every
member of the Free State Parliament
TO subscribe faith and allegiance to
the Constitution and swear to be faith
full to the King in virtue of the com
mon citizenship OF Ireland and Great
Britain and Ierland's membership in
the British commonwealth of nations.
The document contains 70 articles
and not only grants female suffrage,
proportional representation, and a
referendum to the people, but also en-
powers the people themselves to int-
tate legislation. II gives to the cham.
Der great power with respect to money
