BLANKET TAX
ON ELEVATORS
Warehouse Rates Discussed at
Hearing Held BY State
Railroad Board

Bond and licensing laws and grain
receipts as provided by the state
board of railroad commissioners for
grain warehouses and elevators came
under the fire of representatives Of
warehouse at conference on the
official grain standards issued by
the board in 1913 and which remain
in force with the 1919 laws declared
unconstitutional A vigorous SEN
timent in favor of a blanket tax for
warehouses was expressed.
Frank Milhollan, president Of the
board Of railroad commi ssioners,
requested that those present file
briefs or memorandums giving sug-
gastions as to the rules to be pro-
mulgated. These suggestions should
be filed within Is days.
Officials Attend
Repre- sentatives present included:
George c. Lambert, Equity Cooper
alive Exchange, Minneapolis; C. j..
Murphy, attorney for the Wheat
Growers Association, Grand Forks;
X. L. Taft, Wheat Growers Associa-
ton, Grand Forks; W. H. Gooch,
Minneapolis Elevator companies; w.
p. Oertli, Farmers Grain Company
Of Embden; c. f. Mitchell, Minneap-
oils Elevator Company; P. A. Lee,
secretary, the Farmers Grain Deal
ers Association; w. II. Stutsman, at
torney for the Minneapolis elevator
companies; and F. G. Towsley, Nc
Donald and Wyman Company.
Mr.. Stutsman, who was railroad
commissioner when the 1913 grain
laws we're issued, said he was in
favor of uniform law compelling
elevators to charge uniform rate
and so eliminate discrimination. Line
houses feel that the statutory rates
should be compulsory, he said, and
that the rate should not be permitted
as a basis for buying and selling.
He declared that elevators in many
instances are not charging the rate
allowed them by law but rate that
is much lower. Sentiment was ex-
pressed by others present that the
rates charged for storage are 1ar too
low and not profitable. The feeling
was that they should be increased.
Wants Blanket Bond
Mr. Stutsman also declared himself
in favor of a blanket bond, say
100000 for 20 elevators, or $1,000
each, which would be small enough
and adequate enough to cover the
elevators without having to resort toI
individual bonds. Companies would
much rather issue a blanket bond
than separate bonds since the risk is
much lower, said Mr.. Stutsman.
The section relating to bonding of
public warehouses itself came in for

a great deal of discussion which &C.
cupied large part Of the three-hour
conference. 1t was the sentiment
that changes should be made in the
section which follows:
The proprietor, lessee, or manager
Of any public warehouse, elevator
or flour mill, or any individual buy
ing or shipping grain for profit in
this state, and who does not pay
cash in advance for the grain SO
bought shall file with the commits
sioner of railroads bond to the
state with good and sufficient sure
ties to be approved by such commits
sioners in the penal sum Of not less
than five thousand nor more than
seventyfive thousand dollars, in the
discretion of the commissioners, con-
/. ditioned for the faithful performance
of their duties as public warehouse
men, and the compliance with all the
laws of this state in relation there
to- One bond only need be given for

cation Of each elevator, mill or ware

cient amount to protect the holders
of outstanding tickets.
Section 3lO7 defines a public ware
house thus:

IN VEN TI0NS
ARE REJECTED
DIR. M. w. Roam, Home From
East, Tells of Big COnven-
tiGn of Physicians

After an absence Of almost ;
month on a tour to the Atlantic
coast, d. and Mrs. NJ. w. Roam ant
daughter, 223 Park. street, returned
yesterday.
Many points of interest were vas
tied by the Roans and the doctor
gained some valuable information a
well as became acquainted with the
leading physicians and surgeons OF
the United States, England and Can
ada at the convention of the Ameri-
can Medical association held the
week Of May 25 at Atlantic City, n. j.
Dr. and Mrs. Roam will be hosts to
Dir. Roan's nephew for a few weeks
He is Charles F.. Roam, who has just
completed his third year in the medl-
cal school of the University of Hi
nois and who accompanied DR.. and
Mrs. Roam on their return trip from
Chicago.
Starting their journey by going to
Fargo, where they attended the state
meeting of physicians, May Is and
10, the Roans then went TO Chicago,
where Dr. Roam formerly lived. The
city clinics were visited by the doc
tor during a stay of three days and
then the journey continued to Allan
tic city.
More than 5000 doctors from al
over the world were registered at the
national convention. Conservatism
was stressed by the speakers, the
sentiment being that modern life IS
too hurried and that we grow too
fast The physicians took stand
of ignoring new inventions" in the
medical world, claiming that the
public will realize for itself that it is
being duped.
From Atlantic City the Roans went
to New York and later were the
guests of Col. Frederick Airport
Dale, formerly of Fort Lincoln, now
in charge of the government hospi-
tails at Fort Hamilton in Brooklyn.
The colonel, who is known to many
residents of Bismarck, has fine
home, Dr. Roam said.
The Roans then returned to New
York and saw a ball game and polo
game, both of which they greatly
enjoyed. After u stay OF several
days in New York, DR.. and Mrs. Roam
entrained for Niagara Falls and took
in the sights there as we'll as at
Detroit. From there DR.. Roam mo-
tored to Chicago and st. Paul.
Federal Judge Andrew Miller was
host to the Roans at Detroit, Mimi.
Although DR.. Roam lived in Chi
oago for fifteen years, he says that
New York is the only big city in the
country where he would like to live.
He likes the spirit of New YORK and
thinks the East is fine.

AT THE CAPITOL

A new motion picture genius has
come to light who obtains more tre-
mendous dramatic values, with drama
filmed under the blue sky as his
studio, than the average movie OBJ
tains with million dollar sets and
elaborate costumes. Salvation Hunt
ers," heralded as the sensation Of
the year in the way of motion pic
ture realism, is the attraction at the
Capitol Theatre, coming Monday and
Tuesday. This is the film produced
under exceptional difficulties by
Josef Won Sternberg and which lifted
Won Sternberg from obscurity to envi-
able heights in the motion picture

The number of farmers ,who are
keeping books on their business has
Increased remarkably In recent years,
but the number of buslnesslike farm
ers is woefully small when listed
alongside the sum total of the farm
ers in the country.
Inventory is indispensable
The basis of any system of farm ac-
counting is the annual property list
or inventory 1t Is the starting point
of the farm records. One must take
into consideration decreases or in
creases in the value of all properly
owned to gauge the progress OF the
bus ness. Lacking facts as to the
value of his property, no business man
can form an accurate estimate of how
he stands financially. Increased cash
may be due to property which was
sold or increased debts may be due
to improvements made. If farmer
is falling behind. the inventory will
emphasize this fact. OFTEN when q
man is discouraged and thinks he rs
making no progress. his inventories
will tell him that he is better off than
he thought.
At the end of each year financial
statement is drawn off This is the
farmers rating and no farmer with a
good financial statement need fear
walking into bank and asking for =
loan.

BANKERS HELP

A bank in Monrovia, Ind. tests seed
corn for farmers. A basement room
was fitted out last season for the pur-
pose and $4,000 ears were tested for
fifty-six farmers. One-fourth OF the
seed tested last year was unfit for
seed. This year the percentage will
run even higher. The work is done
under the supervision of the high
school agricultural teacher. He reports
that the community will have a sur
plus of seed corn this year.
The banks of Conway, Ark, have
offered prizes for the most marketable

The work of the Hunterdon coun-
ty Public Health Association, with
Mrs. C. f. Wagg, as Vice-President
of the southern district and Mrs.
f. w. Hunt as local chairman for
Lambertville has greatly increased
the sale of Christmas seals for tu-
berculosis prevention work, with
net receipt of S134.48 for the Tu-
berculosis Fund of our Branch.
One of the most important phases
of the work of the year has been
that of tuberculosis prevention. The
three clinics held during this period
have attracted both adults and
children who are actual cases of tn
berculosis and also those who are
likely to develop into such cases
if not given careful direction.
Grateful acknowledgement is made
of contributions of coal for the Red
Cross Room from George w. Mas
sey and C. A. Niece, and of an extra
electric light installed by Percy
Skillman; also of the kindness Of
George R. Kline in furnishing ar
ticles for the soldiers kits at cost.
An ice box was presented by Mr..
Philip Faherty TO the Third Ward

on the part of our citizens shows
increased interest in the work.

Method of Obtaining
Neu Plant From Old

A simple method of propagating the
rubber plant is by messing. A branch
Is selected with ripe wood, or In the
case of lanky old plant with long,
bare stem the top may be rooted and
cut off, In either case making use OF
cluster of leaves that will make we'll
shaped young plant
Make slanting cut upward half
way through the stem with sharp
knife. SLIP match or other small
stick to hold the wound open. Then
wrap moss around II. You can get a
little sphagnum moss from any florist
or scotsman. 1t should make knob
about as big as ones fist, Tie II in
place with string and keep Il moist but
not dripping wet. In few weeks
many new roots will have been formed
lust above the cut. Then the moss
can be removed, the stem severed at
point below the roots and the plant
potted In the usual way.
The operation is best performed IN
a room where the temperature remains
at nearly 20 degrees and where there
Is considerable moisture in the air; In
other words the Kitchen.
