CALL MEETING
TO TALK PLAN
FOR ELECTION
Republicans of First Con
gressional District Will
Gather Here Sunday.

Gunder Olson, national committee
man for North Dakota OF the Republi-
can party. today issued a call for q
conference OF the members Of the state
central committee, and the county
chairmen of the counties within the
First congressional district, to be held
at the Waldorf hotel in Fargo Sunday,
May 8, for the purpose Of considering
steps preliminary to the special cleo
ton that will be held to name a sue
cessor to the late Congressman II. 4.
Helgesen.
The law fails to make any definite
provision for the conduct of such cleo
ton. or the handling of the prelimin-
airy details. such as the nomination OF
candidates. and that fact is responsible
for the call that Mr.. Olson, as national
committeeman, has made.
The counties comprising the First
district are Richland. Sargent, Ran
som, Case, Trail, Steele, Ramsey
Nelson, Grand Forks, Walsh, Cavalier,
Towner and Pembina.
It is expected that the conference
will be presided over by Mr.. Olson.
At least, he will call 1t together.
Methods of making the party nomi
nations will be considered as the most
vital issue concerning the Republic
cans.

|UNIFGATION OF
CANADIAN RAILROADS
Plan 70 Prevent CONGESTION Of
Canadian Roads Made
Public.
cay Associated Press.)

Ottawa, Ont, May 3.-4To avert far
reaching railway congestion, a plan
providing for unihcation of all the
Canadian railways. except the Cana
dian Pacific, into single sytem under
the name of the Dominion Railway Co.
is, urged in q report made yesterday
by the royal commission appointed to
inquire into transportation conditions
in Canada.
Voicing strong protest against
government ownership. which it fears
would not conduce to international
harmony" the railway commission
finds as the only feasible solution of
the Canadian railway problem, the
merging OF the Grand Trunk, Grand
Trunk Pacific and Canadian Northern
and their operation by q board Of
trustees. who would acquire the stock
OF the three companies and maintain
the rights OF bond and debenture hold
ers undisturbed."
The government, II Is said. would
undertake towards the trustees, the
obligation to find any necessary
margin between axed charges and net
operating income. 1t is also proposed
that the inter- colonial and the national
trans continental railways now
operated directly bv the government
be handed over to the trustees and
operated as part OF the dominion rail-
| "
trustees. be prohibited from making
any general reduction Of rates until
their property earns a reasonable net
return.
The belief is expressed that much
new capital expenditure can be avoid
ed by combining the three companies
into a single system. The report finds
that the Grand Trunk needs immedf-
ately 70 expend $51. 100000 to provide
adequate service and that it L. entire
IY unable TO carry the burden which
it has undertaken in respect to the
Grand Trunk Pacific: further that the
Canadian Northern would require $70,-
100000 of new capital within the next
five years.
A summary Of the financial require
ments OF the companies mentioned
shows an estimated annual defcit Of
$12.500.000 20 be met &C the present
tlme.
The report declares that more rail-
roads have been built than are war;
ranted on commercial grounds under
present conditions. It points out that
while the development Of Canada
justified two trans continental lines 1t
did not justify three and that the
Grand Trunk and Canadian Northern
systems should have been amaiga-
mated.
Il Is said more than three-fourths
Of the CAPITAL OF the Canadian North
ern and nearly two-thirds Of that Of
the Grand Trunk Pacific has either
been provided or guaranteed BY the
dominion and provincial governments
and municipalities. DESPITE this as
sistance. the two companies cannot
meet their liabilities from their re-
sources. The liability OF the Grand
Trund railroad under its guarantee
to the Grand Trunk Pacific amounts 20
Sc. 100000 per year and its accumulated
