(By Che Associated Press. }

Washington, Sept. 6.-The federal
trade commission was sharply assailed
and vigorously defended in the senate
today for it's recent report to President
Wilson recommending that the gov
eminent take over control of the
packing industry so as to break up
what it termed a monopoly of the
meat business.
The debate, in which Senators Sher-
man of Illinois, and Smoot of Utah,
led the attack on the commission, was
precipitated by, Introduction by Sena-
tor Gore of Oklahoma, of an amend
ment to the emergency agricultural
appropriation bill carrying out the
commissions recommendations. The
amendment later was Withdrawn.
"a Political Organization"
Senator Sherman declared the COM
cutting agency" made up of business
failures" while Senator Smoot of
Utah, charged that the commission
from the beginning has been a politi-
cal organization and has been used as

Senators Gore and Kenyon defended
the report, declaring 1t largely justi-

members of the commission desired to
know what the people thought of
them, they had only to offer them
selves for office and would be beaten
by vote of four to one. He referred
to members of the commission as self
appointed business men who have done

HOLLY NEEDS MORE HOUSES.

There is great need in the town Of Holly for
more residences. There is not today a dwelling
house Of any description which can be rented in
the face Of constant demand Almost daily pros
pective investors or residents are clamoring for
homes to live in.
The high cost Of all building materials and
labor are constantly pointed to as the reason but
in view Of the insistent demand and the prices
which will be paid readily for modern small homes,
is this pretext going to fully answer solve the
problem? It is irrational that business or other
men coming to Holly expecting to engage in bust
ness Of locate permanently, should be faced with
the alternatives Of living in tent moving on to
some other town9
There ought to be a way out of this dilemma.
since there are those here undoubtedly who have
the means to build houses, and since they are as
sured Of permanent tenants at remuneratiye
rental even before the houses are erected.
