OIL INSPECTION
PLAN ? IS HIT
Communication to Legisla
ture Declares 1t Ineffi-
cient

Severe criticism Of the method Of
oil inspection in the state was voic-
cd by G. P. johnson, city auditor Of
Nolthwood,, Grand Forks county, in
a letter read to the House Of Repre-
sentatives and ordered printed. in
the Journal. az ts5t
I'm connection with the city light
plant have had some experience
with the oil inspection department
and this sets me to believe that the
law is either wrong OF; the admins
tration Of it is. not what it should
be-" the letter read. D. e>q
Some ye;N' ago it was the Gus
tom Of the oil inspection. depart-
mcDt to take samples of the tank
car of oil as it was shipped into the
state. In our case sample, of t.ae
oil would be taken at Wahpeton and
a report of such inspection would
reach US about the same time that
the car would arrive at the railroad
yards here. The purchaser then
would be in q position to know
whether or not the grade of oil pur-
chased was being shipped. ~ &C..
''As the law operates at the pres
ent time the inspection is not done
in that old wsy.' The. inspection de-
partment does not take samples
from the tank cars as they are ship
ped into the state. If the purchaser
wishes to have the oil inspected: a
sample must be sent to Fargo and
then it will. be necessary to have a
lot Of patience to wait for the in
spector's report. II the oil is ac-
cording to sale made, all well and
good. If it does not come up to
grade then you're out Of luck SO
fat as getting any adjustment is
eohSefned, as the report is so long
in coming that the tank car is most
~ used up by that time"

GRAIN GRADE
BILL PUT IN
Senator Storstad PrOpOsS s
Measure to 'Stick" in
Courts

North Dakota is making another
attempt to pass state grain grad
ing law that will "stick" with the
Supreme court of the United States
Senator A. G.. Storstad, Cass coun-
ty, yesterday introduced such bill
in the senate of the state legisla,
ture here. in line with the indie
pendent policy.
It differs from the former Law
which the supreme court found un.
constitutional, mainly in that il
leaves out certain portions.
The supervisor of grades, weights
and measures is empowered to guard
against unjust discrimination as in
the old bill but the term "unrea,
sonable margins of profit" hps been
stricken from that section.
The ternl> of the supervisor has
been cut from 4 to 2 years and the
salary from $4,000 to $4,000.
The supervisor shall maintain hit
office in Bismarck, says the new
bill, as opposed to the law which
placed it at the Agricultural Col.
lege at Fargo. Provision is made
however that the college authorities
and especially those of the state
experiment mill at the college, shall
cooperate with the supervisor.
He may demand $4,000 of public
warehousemen to guarantee their
faithful performance Of dutiss'
but not "the compliance with all the
laws of this state in relation there.
to- as the law added.
The law calls for honest and cor
rect weighing and grading but not

rules and regulations made here,

composite Of all the best features OF

that nothing seemed to have been
