Trade Commission Report to
Wilson Recommends Taking
Over Car Lines
NOW HELD BY PACKERS
Alleged Present System Results
in Discriminatory Service
to Dealers

Washington, D. G., Aug. 26.-De-
claring that the step is necessary to
control the business OF the five larg-
est packing companies, the federal
trade commission in a special report
to President Wilson recommends that
operation of refrigerator cars and of
cars used for transportation Of meat
animals be declared government
monopoly.
1t recommends further that the
property concerned including icing
stations and other facilities as well as
the cars be acquired by the govern
ment and the railroads to thereafter
be licensed to own and operate them.
The big packers, the report says,
row own 80 percent Of all the refrig-
eratory equipment in the country suit
able for the transport Of fresh meats.
'"The prompt and efficient handling
of the traffic in meats and other per-
ishable foods is Of great public con-
Cern," the report says, "and it Is also
important that all shippers should
have equal and adequate service. The
recommendations are made to correct
present inequalities Of service and
rates as well as to prevent the dan
gers of monopolistic advantages.

The appointment aof Frank T.

Grant county, to be the third Judge in

only surprise contained in Governor
Frazier's list of new district judges,

ately upon his arrival from tour of

The appointment Of M. j. Englert Of
Valley City to be the third Judge in
the first district and Fred Graham of
Glendale to be the third judge in the
third, had been generally forecast.
Lembke may be regarded as more
or less of a dark horse. He had not
been prominently mentioned" in con-
nection with the surplus judgeship in
the sixth district. E. P. Totten of
Bowman. Les Simpson of Dickinson
and H. L. Berry Of Stanton we're all
considered more or less active candi-
dates. Lembke is comparatively a
newcomer to the Slope. He has been
regarded about Elgin, his home town,
as Give wire" He showed his first
burst of political speed last fall wien
he defeated Col. I. N. steen of Carson
for the states attorneyship of Grant
county.
NJ J. Englert of Valley City has
long been a prominent member of the
North Dakota bar. He is regarded as
a good lawyer, and friends predict he
will make a good Judge. He became
interested in the Nonpartisan league
about six months ago, it is said. Fred
Graham of Glendale is considered a
substantial practitioner, and the selec.
tions generally are said to have been
much more satisfactory than original.
