NEWS OF THE STATE HOUSE Items of General Interest Gathered From Reliable Source at State House. tVstern Newspaper Union News Service. What la ii public grain warehouse? This question has been answered by tho Btato railway commission in a manner that waB a aurprlso to some, but In accordance with court deel hIoiis. Tho last leglslnturo passed an act declaring that any warchouso or elevator that keeps grain on hand In storage for owners for a period longer than ten dnys shall be declared to bo a public warehouse and must comply with tho provisions of the stato law povcrnlng grain warehouses. Such houses can charge not to exceed ono and one-half cents a bushel for tho first fifteen days and not to exceed one cent a month thereafter. The Van Wluklo Grain & Lumbor company of York, which owns moro than ono elevator, submitted to tho state railway commission n contract which It proposes to mako with own rsrs of grain. Tho company proposes to buy grain to be paid for at a futuro date ngrecd upon and to deduct thrco fourths of ono cent a bushol from tho prlco agreed upon, tho deduction to bo made to cover storage. The prlco to bn paid Is to bo tho prlco which tho company Is paying on tho future dato agreed upon at any particular elevator owned by tho company des ignated In the contract. Tho railway commission decided that under this contract tho grain Is pold nnd the titlo passes to tho ele vator company nnd therefore tho ele vator Is storing It own grain and not tho grain of others and Is not a public warehouse nnd need not comply with tho wnrohonso law. Sovcral elevator companies that do not care to comply with the public grnln warchouso law are said to hnvo decided to buy grain under contracts similar to that of tho York company. Primary Day April 18. Researches mado In tho statutes y Secretary of State Pool show that tha codo commission of 1913 amended the primary law governing presidential preferenco elections, so that primary day next spring will be April 18, in Htcad of April 21. Tho old law tho one passed by tha 1011 legislature sot tho tlnio at "for. ty-flvo days before tho first Monday iu June." Tho codo commission's law fixes tha time at "tho third Tuesday in April" Tho codo commission's report was adopted In blanket form by the legis lature of 1915, and thus tho primary law Is amended in regular fashion al though specific measures changing It were never enacted by tho legislature. Tho law creating tho codo commis sion empowers that body to elimin ate obsolcto and unconstitutional mat ter from tho statutes, and gives It a right to" change laws to correspond to "common custom and usage;" hence it is believed hero that the change of dates was within its rights. It Is said In defense of tho action that Tuesday Is commonly regarded ns an election day in this state, and that "forty-flvo days before tho first Mon day" would mako tho day fall on Frl day.
