GRAIN STORAGE BILL
AMENDED, APPROVED
FOR SENATE PASSAGE
Administration Of Act Placed IN
Hands of Commissioner Ap-
pointed by the Governor
eliminate RAILROAD BOARD
Sets Up System Whereby Farm
or Can Borrow Money on
Grain Stored on Farm
ELIMINATE RAILROAD BOARD

Passage OF the administrator bill
to provide for the storage Of grain on
farms under state supervision was
recommended by the senate state at
fairs committee today.
AS amended today administration
Of the act is placed In the hands Of
q commissioner to be appointed by
the governor. At the request Of the
state railroad board its connection
with the bill was completely severed.
Members Of the board said the act as
originally drawn imposed certain OBJ
legations upon them without giving
them power to discharge the obliga-
tions. They asked that they either
be given complete administration Of
the act or divorced from It complete
ly. The committee accommodated
them by eliminating all reference to
the railroad board.
What part. II any. the railroad
board should have In the administra-
ton Of the measure has bcen the
subject Of considerable discussion
since the farm storage bill first came
up for consideration. Certain Nom
partisans wanted the railroad board
charged with administration Of the
act. Supporters OF the governor held
that he, or \ commissions to be ap-
pointed by him. should be given COM
plete control.
Enables Farm Loans
The measure Is intended to set up
q system whereby farmers can store
grain on their farms and borrow
money on the security afforded by
storage tickets to be issued by the
state.
It sets up q new department Of
government which would administer
the act, appoint field inspectors. grade
and test the grain and issue the
storage tickets.
The committees action ended three
weeks Of work and negotiation by
committee members, representatives
Of the Farmers Union and the gov
ernor, all Of whom were interested In
the proposal.
A Farmers Union representative
asked early action by the North Da-
kota legislature since the union Is
urging the Kansas legislature to pass
similar measure and they want the
influence Of North Dakota's example.
Two Measures Killed
Another bill seeking to effect the
same ends was killed and third will
be killed or withdrawn, the commit
tee agreed. The bill as recommended
Is expected to pass the senate with
out difficulty.
The 6perry bill authorixing the
state board Of administration to sell
the experimental Ignite briquetting
plant at Hebron was held up pend
ing information as to how much the
city Of Hebron will pay for the build
ing. The committee was told that
Hebron wants to use the building for
IN electric plant.
The Brosteun bill, permitting the
counties Of Slope, Billings, Golden
Valley and Mckenzie to turn county
lands over to the federal government
for park purposes was recommended
for pas-age. It Is one Of the bills In
