SOUTH AMERICA
HAS MANY TRUSTS
COMMITTEE FINDS THAT NEAR
LY ALL COMMODITIES ARE
CONTROLLED BY THEM

BUENOS AIRES.-A committee Of
the Chamber of Deputies has dis
covered after more than years in
vestigation that Argentina is affiet-
ed with trusts" Wine, flour, lime,
potatoes, meat, and oil and naptha are
described in a recent report of the
committee as under the control OF
trusts which have been able to
flourish and high prices chiefly be-
cause of high protective tariffs or
favorable railroad rates, it is charged.
The committee finds that the "most
typical trust" in Argentina (the
word "trust" is put in quotation
marks throughout the report) is the
''wine trust" in the great grape-grow
ing province of Mendoza on the slopes
of the Andes. It1s charged that this
combination of wine producers is an
"official trust organized by the law
of the province" which is able to pay
the cost of the greater part of its
administration out of "the local privi-
lege created by the monopoly of
wine"
Destruction of grapes and wine,
expectation of wine at low price and
maintenance of high price in Ar
gentina are alleged. The ''trust" is
able to exist, the report says, by
virtue of high customs duties which
discourage the importation of ordin-
ary wines and by the aid of the ma
tional banks. Reform in the admin
istration of the banks and in the
tariff laws is demanded.
The committee names the Standard
Oil Company, of the United States, as
the "trust" which controls kerosene
and naptha in Argentina. The report
sets forth that this trust norteam-
ericano del petroleo" has in Argentina
a powerful subsidiary company, di-
vided in it's legal aspect into one sec
tion of production, another of market
ing and transport" J"
''The comercial practices of this
trust" says the report, "are those
of a monopoly which wishes to ex-
tend even more and consolidate There
is no proof that the trust has de-
termined upon increasing the price of
kerosene and naptha in the country,
but it is certain that its prices repre-
sent relative increase, that is to say,
with relation to the cost of produc-
tion.''
Argentina's defense against this
and almost worldwide
the committee, says, con-
sists of encouraging commerce in and
production of all other materials cap
able Of producing light and heat and
developing the production of petrol
cum as a government enterprise /
since every private enterprise will
be annihilated or absorbed by the
trust
Dealing with meat, the report says |
hat the expectation of this commodi-
" is "in the hands of great companies
which are subsidiary to still more
powerful foreign companies tending
,oward capitalistic monopoly" fFhe
committee recommends that Atgen-
ina organize it's own meat industryl
With municipal and regional cold
storage plants and enter into direct
elation with the great foreign mar
,ets of consumption.
Finding that milling trust exists,
he committee declares that laws
4gainst extortionate capitalistic COM
inations are necessary and that 1--WE
hould educate ourselves economically i
nd politically for the socialization Of
his industry"

uRQuHART BUILDING
SOLD FOR $4,000
LAMPHERE & BUSH BUY MOD
ERN BUILDING ON THIRD

A deal which has been under way
for several weeks was closed today
when G. N. Lamphere and Ben Bush

for cash consideration. The building is
a modern one of comparatively recent
construction, two stories high with

rooms on the first floor, occupied by
the Novelty Shop, Bratton & Paul
sons grocery and the Bon Ton. The
second flood is divided into office
rooms. All are occupied. The build
ing is steam heated throughout. All
are occupied.
This is the third big deal in Mos
COW property within short time, the
three deals totalling $78,000 In ad-
dition to this the sum of $120,000 is
being spent by the First National
Bank and the First Trust & Savings
Bank in remodeling the formers and
erecting a $4,000 bank building for
the latter. Moscow business property
is being recognized as good invest
ment and is also regarded as safe,
from an income standpoint, because
the future of Moscow is assured.
Mr.. Bush recently sold a farm of
280 acres in Latah county and is in
vesting part of the money received
from this sale in Moscow real estate.
Mr.. Lamphere owns the building di-
rectly back of the Bon Ton, and oc-
cupied by the Moscow Publishing
Company, and is merely increasing
his holdings in Moscow, where he ex-
poets to make his permanent home
and in the future of which he has the
utmost faith. The Urquhart build
ing pays $3.50 per month in rentals.
