    A person, firm, copartnership, or corporation engaged in

 not, with the intention of creating a monopoly or destroying the 
 business of a competitor, discriminate between different 
 localities, of this state by purchasing grain of a particular 
 grade and condition at a higher price or rate in one locality 
 than in another after making due allowance for the difference, 
 if any, in actual cost of transportation from the locality of 
 purchase, to the locality of manufacture, use, or distribution.  
 Violation of this section is unfair discrimination, punishable 
 by a fine up to $700 or by imprisonment in the county jail up to
