Consolidated Work of Grain In
spection, Accounting and In.
spection of Weights and
Measures
LUND APPOINTED HEAD
Former Auditor Of Board Of
Administration Is Named by
Commission.

A consolidation of the ~ork Of the
grain inspection, elevator accounting
and weights and measures depart
ments will be effected by the state rail-
road commission under plans drawn
by the commission for the resumption
of the supervision and inspection of
grain and elevators, which was ter
minated at the passage Of the grain
grading act, according to Chairman
Frank Milhollan.
The commission decided to estab-
lish what will be known as the grain
department Of the state railroad com.
mission. Ole Lund, formerly employ
ed as an auditor by the board Of ad-
inistration was chosen to head the new
department. His duties, 1t was stated,
will be to supervise the entire grain
inspection and accounting work.
The grain inspection and weights
and measures departments will be NOV
ed from Fargo to Bismarck as soon
as possible. Chairman Milhollan said.
Mr.. Lund, successor of w. c. Palmer,
of the state agricultural college, who
was chief grain inspector under the
grain grading act which was held un-
constitutional by the supreme court Of
the United States. Since that decision
Mr.. Palmer has continued to head the
department temporarily established by
the railroad commission under a stat
ute revived as q result of the decision
nullifying tho grain grading act, with
out ray. The elevator accounting de-
partment recently was moved to Bis
1narck. ]. l. Brady will continue as
head of this department, and an in
spector of weights and measures Will
!, be appointed. .
According TO members OF the rail
road commission, study Of the ad-
ministration Of the grain grading act
disclosed that there was much overlap
ping of work. An inspector of one de-
partment, it was said, would follow an
inspector of another department into
a town. 1t is planned to maintain a
corps Of inspectors who are familiar
with elevator accounting methods SO
that they can both inspect grain ana
the accounts Of elevators, it was said.
All inspectors will be required to ob'
tain federal licenses, it was said. Tne
consolidation order may reduce the
number Of persons heretofore employ
cd in this work.
Quarters for the department will be
provided on the fourth floor OF the
Bank of North Dakota building.

CL0TURE FOR
SENATE URGED
AT CONFERENCE
Speed-up Methods Upon Tariff
Bill Are Proposed BY G. o.
p. Conference

Washington, May 26.-Cloture as
means of cutting down debate on
the tariff bill was proposed at a con.
ference of Republican senators and
was discussed later in the senate. Op-
position to the suggestion developed
on both sides ofthech amber, Demo-
Gratis giving formal warning that any
effort by the majority to put over a
"gag" rule would be resisted to the
utmost.
The proposal will be discussed
further at second majority confer
ence called for Saturday. AS drafted,
the rule would apply not alone to the
pending tariff bill but to all revenue
and appropriation measures. 1t
would not apply to any other legisla-
ton and would leave senator's free to
discuss the. soldiers bonus, ship sub
sidy and any other subject Of special
or general legislation. A majority
vote of the senate only would be nee
essary for adoption of the rule.
Dissatisfied With Progress
Many Of the leaders on the Re-
publican side heretofore have op-
posed cloture and today number of
the majority senators expressed
ttFoubt as to the advisability of IN,
jecting cloture contest into thu
tariff situation, believing that it
would delay rather than expedite ac.
tion on the tariff bill.stAdvocates Of
the cloture rule contended, however
that time would be saved in the end
and it was indicated that determined
effort would be made to have the
conference approve the proposal
Senate discussion of the cloture
brought varying estimates as to the
time that it would take to pass the
bill, Senator Kellogg and some others
on the majority side estimating that
at the present rate Of progress it
would be from one to two years.
