BEEF eARoNs WILL QUIZ
Will Dissolve Trust to Save Expense
of Litigation.

Washington, July 27-The dissolu
ton of the Beef Trust was informally
accepted by Attorney General Wick
ersham yesterday with the under
standing that the terms of disinte-
grafton shall be presented to him
formally at an early date for his rati
fcation. Pending the receipt of the
document, which the counsel for the
trust promised to furnish, the De-
partment of Justice will not institute
the suit that had been threatened un.
less dissolution took place before Au
gust l.
One of the striking results of this
disintegration is that it restores the
component parts of the trust back
under the injunction issued that year
by Judge Grosscup. 20 believed
that as a consequence of this con
dition, If further efforts are made
by the separated company to reunite
the government will have recourse
simply to contempt proceedings
Judge .Kenesaw Mountain Lands
who imposed the $29,000,000 fine on
the Standadr Oil Company, is now
Chancellor of the District Court in
which such proceedings would come
and IL is thought the trust officials
will hesitate to try their fortunes be
fore him.
District Attorney Wickersham and
Ralph Crews, attorney for the pack.
ers, had a protracted conference on
the dissolution question with the At
torney General today. Mr.. Wicker
sham informed Mr. Crews that he
would approve nothing but an actual
dissolution of the National Packing
Company, through which the Beef
Trust has been operated.
1t is asserted that the disintegra-
ton of the National is more COM
plete than the government could
have obtained by suit. The pack
ers' independence of each other is
restored and this is condition that
permits and invites competition. If
competition does not result it will be
because the packers enter into q new
deal for restraining trade and fixing
prices
If II develops that the packers are
uldhlu6 new agreements, Tue BONtIu-
ment will prosecute them.
The packers are afraid of Judge
Lands. In fact, it is said here that
the dissolution of the National was
FASTENED by the realization that they
are at the mercy of Landis They are
the future. Moreover defending
eager to convince the government
that they intend to obey the law in
trust prosecutions is expensive. The
recent trial of the packers cost them
$4,000. it is said, and their total
expense in fighting the government
in ten years is estimated at more
than 100000.

The Enosburg Standard has just

is a continued marvel to the news
paper men of the state how Messrs.
Rose and Tyler, the editors and pro-
prietors of the Standard, can get out
SO good a paper in village no larger
than Enosburg Falls. 1t is a better
paper than many in towns of twice
the size and proves what those
who know Enosburg Falls have long
suspected, which is that not only is
that village one of the cleanest and
most attractive communities OF Yer
mont but also one of the most public
spirited. The Standard states that
all but three of the business places
in Enosburg Falls are advertisers in

best institutions and the one which
does more than all others to main

Concrete Policies Look To
Material Progress.

The policies which Hon. Allen M
Fletcher proposes to carry out, when
he is elected governor of Vermont,
are not glittering generalities, nor
yet are they theories of an imprac,
ticable nature that merely look good
on paper.
The list includes such practical
and desirable propositions as the
scientific and methodical develop
ment of water power in different sec
lions OF Vermont, not for the profit
Of outsiders, but for the benefit OF
our own people; the development OF
our forestry interests whereby our
hills that have become barren may
be made to again become a source OF
revenue as well as storehouse OF
moisture for the feeding of our
streams: the promotion of our Green
Mountain regions attractions for per
manent residents as well as tourists
and for outside capital; the adoption
of a system of taxation that shall
encourage the development of Yer
mont's natural resources, particularly
our soil. and thus encourage the sons
and daughters OF our farmers TO stay
in the old state; cooperation be-
tween the states agricultural depart
