GRAIN STORAGE IS LAUDED

Nonpartisans Control Senate;
Their Views Are Therefore
Made important
Reaction to the message which
Governor George F. Shafer. Wednes-
day, presented to the legislature was
regarded as generally favorable ia
the success Of the administration leg
islative program.
Independent leaders, with many Of
whom the governor conferred pre-
vious to drafting his message, were
outspoken in their support Of the
ideas contained In the message.
/. Among the Nonpartisan leaders.
however, expressions Of qualification
were ttnged with an element Of doubt
that some Of the suggestions con-
tanned In the message would receive
the support which the governor might
expect.
This idea was epitomized by one
League senator who remarked that
my guess is that some Of the things
contained In the message Of the gov
ernor win receive more support from
his political opponents than from his
friends. On the whole / thought the
message was very fine"
The ideas in the message which
most warmed the Nonpartisan hearts
were those pertaining to support for
cooperative marketing and for stor.
Ing grain on farms in such manner
that the farmer can obtain some
thing for his grain while It Is still in
his hands instead Of having to deliver
It to the elevator as at present.
League Reaction Important
In view Of the fact that the Non.
parttsans control the senate by an ap-
parently safe majority OF three votes.
the reaction Of the Nonpartisan sen.
ators was regarded as important.
The Independents. while expressing
qualification at the text and tone of
the entire message, were particularly
enthusiastic about the administra-
ton program for tax reduction and
Tor the promotion Of industry. They
also saw prospects of real progress
toward solving the marketing problem
In Skaters suggestions for support of
cooperative marketing and home stor-
age Of grain.
i thought 1t was a splendid mes
sage" said Edwin Traynor, Independ-
ent, speaker Of the house. II was
particularly impressed with Governor
Shafer's analysis Of the farm situa-
ton. and believe that his sueres-
lions In that connection should be
most beneficial"
1T was conservative. well thought
out message" said Lieutenant Cover
cor John Carr. Governor 6hafer
has evidently been giving real study
TO the problems raised by the Bank
OF North Dakota and the state mill
ana elevator. I think his suggestion
tor safeguarding the sinking funds Of !
the bank Is most important. His plan
Tor the management Of the mill and
elevator should take that enterprise
out Of politics 50 far as is possible |
under present conditions"

of Z. I. Twichell. Independent floor |

Il think that Governor shafer,s
for surveys OF the STATE |
