COUNTIES OVERLOOK
WAREHOUSE ACT
URGES PROMPT AC-
TION IF FARMERS ARE TO
BENEFIT BY LAW

4 A statement has been issued from
the office of Governor c. G. Moore
! calling attention to the provisions of
the terminal warehouse act passed by
the 1928 legislature and expressing
the fear that the law will be of no
use to the people of the state unless
prompt action is taken by the several
boards of county commissioners.
Under the provisions of the law the
state is divided into three terminal
warehouse districts, each district be-
ing made up of a certain number of
counties. Before a county can be-
come a member of the district in
which it is located it must, through
a resolution adopted by it's board of
county commissioners and filed with
the governor on or before September
/, declare its intention of becoming
member of the district
So far, the governor has received
resolutions from but two counties and
he fears that unless more of these
it will be impossible for the state
to take advantage of the law
The counties which have filed re-
solutions are Caribou and Franklin,
both in southeastern Idaho.
Filing of the resolution with the
governor by the counties does not
constitute the formation of the dis
trict, the statement points out. I'm
der the law this is merely formality
which the county has to go through in
order to declare its intention of want
ing to-, become a member of the dis.
trict.
Voters Petition
If, after a certain number of coun-
ties have filed their petitions with the
governor 5 per cent of the legal vot-
ers of any district as shown by the
last vote for the office of governor,
petition the chief executive, under
the law he must issue a proclamation
declaring the district formed
The law was enacted for the protec- |
ton of agricultural interests of the
state and when a district is declared |
formed it shall come under the juris-
diction of the state public utilities
The law makes provision for con-
trolling the districts in the event the
public utilities commission should
ever be legislated out of existence. 1t
says that in this event the governor
shall appoint a board of three direc-
,ors for each district. One of these
directors shall serve one year one for
.wo years and one for three years
md each year after their appointment
he governor shall name a new direc-
or for each district.
Board Locates Warehouses
Districts when organized shall be
corporate bodies and may issue bonds
md build warehouses at whatever
,laces in the district the public util-
ties commission or the board of di-
ectOrs may direct. |
But the law will be of no avail un-
ess more counties than two out of [
4 comply with it's provisions by fill
ng their resolutions with the COVER [
