Washington, D. C., Jan. 16.—Repre­
sentative Stanley of Kentucky, after
a conference with President Wilson,
Introduced late Friday an amendment
to the Sherman law, which would
make illegal monopolization or res­
traint of trade, "in any degree."
It Is designed to eliminate the "rule
of reason," laid down by the supreme
court in the standard oil case.
The amendment abo would invest

prevent violations of the net, 'irres­
pective of the attorney general.
It was drawn to meet the wish of
the president, 3xpr*ssed in his i-'.es
sage to congress to reduce the debata­
ble area surrounding the Sherman act.
Stanleyr discussed the measure with
the president Friday and had previ­
ously corresponded with him on the
subject. iStanley, who was chairman
of the special committee which'inves­
tigated the United States Steel Cor­
poration does not offer the measure
as an administration amendment' but

The Stanley bill would amend the

supreme court injected the "rule of

are inserted.
provision in section four of the
pr esent act requiring al actions be

Stanley, "has .done more to render

times has been a dead letter because
some attorney general happened to
regard it with indifference op hostili­
ty."
The amendment will be taken up by
the judiciary committee when it be­
gins the work of drafting the anti­
trust bill after the president delivers

County Auditor instructed to
Requisition Board of
Control
A good roads movement that is like­
ly to result in the improvement of
every road in Burleigh co»nty by the
use of convict labor next summer, was
inaugurated yesterday by the county
commisioners and the Commercial
club.
During the lunch hour the board
met with members of the club and it
was proposed during the conference
that IfrO federal convicts, who are now
serving their terms in the Minnesota
state penitentiary should be brought
back and put to work on the county
roads. The pian is to have iNorth Da­
kota take these prisoners away from
the crowded Minnesota pen.
Members, both of the cliib and the
board, approved this idea and the
county auditor was instructed to make
a request from the board of control
fcr a number of convicts from the
state penitentiary to work on the roa°
during the coming summer.
Practically all the convicts now in
the state prison are being employed
in the different plants at the ihstitu
tioa and cannot be spared for county
wcric but the contemplated plan is to
to the state through the Action of the
board of control.
In case the request is granted the
commissioners believe that a'vast
amount of county road work can be
dene and at a greatly reduced cost to
the taxpayers.
The matter of salaries for clerks
and deputies for the various county
olfices occupied a great portion of the
day for the county commissioners at
their meeting yesterday.
The offices of the county treasurer,
register of deeds and county superin­
tendent were examined by the board
during the forenoon, and as a result
the board felt that there should be at
least some changes made during the
coming year.
Commissioner Sandry took an ac­
tive part in the discussion favoring
a reduction of the help and also some
