State Weighing
Still in Force
COURT ORDER KEEPS FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT FROM INTER
FERING WITH HOME CONTROL.

| Who's who in regulation of the
South St. Paul livestock market is
still a puzzle.
State weighing, demanded by the
almost unanimous voice of the live
stock producers of the state, is still
in force. All supervisory work of the
state railroad warehouse commission
is going on as usual, in spite of the
| fact that the federal law has been held
constitutional, and the United States
department Of justice has declared
| the federal law entirely supersedes
state control.
Under this ruling, state weighing
| would be knocked out, and all state
| supervision, which is supported by the
| weighing fees, would be destroyed.
But the state has checkmated the
federal authorities. A temporary
| court restraining order prevents the
| federal government from interfering
| in any way with the enforcement of
state supervision and weighing.
Meanwhile, Minnesota farmers are
| urging the agricultural committee of
the lower house of congress to get
behind pending bill designed to pre-

ervision and weighing by the federal
government. County Farm Bureau
directors and officers in every import
ant livestock producing county in the
state have voted unanimously in fav-
or of the bill.
Two other cases involving the right
of the public to supervise distribution
of its food also are marking time.
The courts have yet to decide wheth-
er the state has the right to enforce
reductions in livestock commission
rates and charges for hay and bedding
on the South st. Paul market. The
railroad and warehouse commission
several months ago ordered drastic
reductions; the orders have been tied
up in the courts ever since on appeals.
In the meantime, the private commits
sion companies were directed by court
order to set aside in trust fund the
difference between the commission
rates they charge and the rates ord
cred by the commission. The stock
yards company was given orders to
set aside in similar fund the differ
ence between prevailing charges for
