Thomas Sterling, United States SEN
ator from South Dakota, and one OF
the most influential members OF the
upper house of Congress. has been
asked through the live stock DIVISION
Of the state marketing department OF
South Dakota to draft a bill embody-
ing a plan of placing all packing IN
dustries on an equal footing ana on
a legitimate competitive basis Tor the
available supply. The proposition
will be submitted to both houses OF
Congress as soon as possible after
the opening Of the session in De-
cember.
The bill to be prepared by Senator
Sterling will require all packing in
dustries to secure their supply OF
live stock in the regularly approved
channels of trade. which is to be
under the direct supervision of the
federal and state marketing depart
ments.
II is claimed by those behind the
movement for the enactment into
law of the new plan that under the
present custom of country buying. by
which many independent packing In
dustries obtain their supply, the live
stock produce is placed at disad-
vantage, by reason OF not being ia
Iniliar with market conditions. and
that other legitimate packing indus
tries should have the right to bid for
the supply.
A further claim is made that by the
Capitalization of marketing under
/ supervision Of the state It will elimi-
nate the expense Of an army Of coun-
try buyers which is now being main
cained by many packing industries
It is also said that the proposed
legislation contemplates the stabi1i-

Theodore Roosevelt Is credited with
being responsible for the growth in
presidential secretaries. Being the for
tunats possessor Of able secretaries
throughout his term ss President. he
gradually unloaded on them matters
which formerly had been handled only
by the President personally.
His hrst secretary was George B.
cortelyou, whom he inherited from
President Mckinley, and whom he
afterward rewarded with a cabinet
position. President Roosevelt next
had William Loeb. who served him
faithfully and ably throughout his
second term. It is said that the COL
onel was sorely disappointed when
President Taft refused to place Loeb
In his cabinet. Loeb was made COL
lector Of the port Of New York. and
established great reputation for
himself. He 10 now with the Guggen-

Daniel Lamont. who was secretary to

tho greatest presidential secretary,

tho older observers who contend that
Gen. Horace Porter, who served Presi-
dent Grant throughout his two terms
outshons them all Porter was on
0rsars stan during the civil war and
later IN life vas Ambassador to
Francs. he Was rsputed to bs ono Of
the most entertaining after-dinner
speakers Of his tisno. Lamont was not
only able, but was exceedingly popu-
lar. He, too, wls rewarded with a
cabinet place.
John Hay probably achieved the

had served IN tho capacity Of presi-
dentiai secretary. He was associated
with Lincoln, but no attained his
prominence long after that service.
