UNFAIR COMPETITION OF THE
STATE MILL

The great capacity of the state
mill and elevator plant at Grand
Forks, and the magnitude of its
operations, are not we'll under
stood by the majority Of the tax
payers of the state. This huge
manufacturing plant has become
disastrous competitor Of the small
or private mills of the state. The
competition thus created by the
state is unfair, and was never in
tended by those who believed the
mill solution of an economic
problem, which would not only in
crease the price of wheat to the
producer, but decrease the cost of
-four to the consumers.
Neither Of these results have
followed the construction of the
mill, which is now running day
and night, turning out immense
quantities OF -four, far beyond the
amount that can be consumed by
the people of this state. The mill
management must therefore sell
the surplus product, and seeks
every opportunity to make sales in
the United. States and In foreign
lands.
The mill is fitted out with the
latest milling machinery. 1t is
said to be the last word in flour
mill construction No other mill
can compete with it.
Those politicians who favor the
midi as a state business industry
clamor to have the mill given "a
fair trial to make it a success
But what is meant by "success"'
is 1t to drive other mills out or

If the proposition was put be-

or lease. or otherwise dispose OF
the mill and elevator. it can hard
ly be doubted that the common
business sense Of the majority OF
our voters would favor it. If the
facts are thoroughly known, every
