The following resolution was adopted
and ordered wired to President Roose
velt: -,- -. V
"Resolved, That the sincere thanks of
the entire membership of the National
Livestock association In convention as
sembled at Portland. Or., are hereby
enthusiastically tendered President
Roosevelt for his untiring and success
ful efforts to bring about the building
of the great Panama canal, the comple
tion of which will. In the Judgment of
this organisation, be the crowning
achievement of the twentieth century."
Then followed the- address of Col. A.
C Halllwell of Illinois, on "The Tariff as
It Affects the Stockgrowers." This was
to have been delivered tomorrow. The
address -.follows .j
. Editor KaniweU's AAOress.
Editor A. C Halllwell of the Chicago
Dally Livestock World addressed the
convention on "Foreign Hides and
American Livestock Producers." He
said In part: '
"The proposition to throw down the
tariff bars that now serve to limit, if
even in a small decree, the number of
LBouth American and other foreign hides
that reach this country, la a serious
thrust at the business of the American
livestock grower.
"Whether the cattlemen will only
have to stand the cash loss of I1.2S per
hide, or whether his business would
suffer 1015 per head by the British
and other embargoes that would follow
an outbreak of foot and mouth disease;
or whether his herds would be entirely
wiped out by some such foreign conta
gion are matters that only time could
decide. '
"The one certain thing In a reduc
tion of the duty on hldea would be that
ranchmen and stock farmers would have
to foot the bills. ' .
Taaners Split Leather.
''Boots and shoes cost much less to
make than they used to, but they do
not cost the wearer any - less.
"Modern tanning methods are- such
that one hide by being sliced will pro
duce several times as much foot wear
as formerly, while the common experi
ence is that the modern ahoe often
goes to pieces before the sole is worn
out, to say nothing - about the numer
ous resoltngs the shoes of the good
old days would stand.
"The tanning trust is going to put
hides on the free list if It can.
"There are men who would risk de
stroying countless millions of dollars
worth of cattle for the sake of the ex
tra profits they would make on free
foreign hides.
Kldes Convey Disease.
"It Is only recently that several stock
shows In Argentine had to be aban
doned on account of foot and mouth
disease being epidemic. It has been
repeatedly shown that this dread dis
ease is easily transportable through
the medium of hides, and yet there,, are
Interests that are clamoring for our
ports to be thrown open for the free
admission of South American hides.
"Livestock producers of the United
States have a right to demand that what
they produce shall enjoy as much of
trade protection as is given to those
Who engage in the final processes of
manufacture."
The "Evolution of the Livestock busi
ness" was the subject to have been
treated by Hon. R. W. Hall of Texas, but
he was unable to attend.
Xr. Cotton oa Transportation.
lion. W. W. Cotton of Portland made
an address' on the "Relation of Transpor
tation Companies to the Livestock In
dustry." part of which follows:
"Stage coaches used to be the only
means of travel. A steer could not be
carried in a stage coacli and could him
self walk along the road at about the
same speed that he could be hauled In a
wagon. Prior to the costructlon of rail
roads there were no carriers of livestock.
Later, railroads refused business because
they had no facilities for handling It.
Since then the railroads have made prog
ress and are now great common car
riers." Mr. Cotton spoke of the duty of com
mon carriers and their obligations in
respect to all property. . He showed the
difference between the car service for
livestock and dead freight The rail
roads are not compelled to have special
apparatus for the loading of wheat, but
for livestock there roust . be specially
constructed yards for loading," he said.
"Wheat is carried In cars which can
be used for other freight on the return
trip. Stock cars do not permit of this
and have to be returned empty
gtockmen and Claims.
The speaker referred to the fact that
stockmen are ready to make claims
against the railroad company for every
loss sustained on a hasardoue trip of a
train of livestock. All Injuries to stock

are expected to be made good." All fa
cilities are expected to be promptly .pro
vided. The livestock shipper recalls
more, expects more, and demands more,
than other shippers." ; ' i
Mr. Cotton produced an array of sta
tistics, rates and figures which were re
ceived with great interest by the dele
gates. As the legal representative of a
railroad corporation his statements were
listened to closely. Mr. Cotton was con
sidered successful In making a just and
reasonable impression on the part of the
railroad toward stockmen.
Springer Hakes Comment.
President Springer could not resist an
opportunity to tell a few funny stores
after Mr. Cotton's address terminated.
E. S. Downs of Kansas City read the
address of .Hon. L. A. Allen, entitled
"Discrimination of Transportation
Companies." that gentleman not being
present. In "part this follows:
Mr. Allen's Address.

their stock to market,, but they are
ignored. The railroad agents tell them

The railway magnate !- directs the

trains are delayed at way points ; to

lines refuse to handle the business un

Railroads' Advantages.

' Afternoon Session.
This afternoon, in addition to other
matters, was an address by Dr. J. E.
Stubbs of Nevada, , entitled "What Shall
We Do With Our Graslng Lands r
" President Stubb's Address. r "
Dr. J. E. Stubbs, president of Nevada
State University, spoke on the subject
"What Shall We Do with Our Public
Graslng Lands T" ' In part he said:
"The question of the disposal of pub
lic lands occupies a large portion of the
pages or .law statutes on both sides of
the Atlantlo ocean. The Anglo-Saxon

has acquired, by one means and another,
a gVeat portion of Its domain from for

Florida was purchased from Spain and
Texas came to us willingly. The Cali

Mexico cession from Mexico was ac

the magnificent Oregon country was ac

"I presume,, when we come to Port
land in 1905, to celebrate the expedition
of Lewis and Clark, and make admiring
mention of the ride of Whitman, we
shall do adequate justice. In song and
speech, to the statesmanship which gave
this territory to the United 'States. We
expect to do honor to the heroes of the
expedition. -
Problem of Today.
"While other decades have had their
questions to settle, I oonslder the most
important problem of the present age
Is the settlement of the public land
question. Public lands west of the
Stth meridian are unknown and posi
tively undervalued In the East It Is a
greater question than the Panama canal;
than finances or any other Internal
question of today.
Irrigation a Big Thing.
"The irrigation law passed two years
ago Is one of the wisest ever enacted."
Here Mr. Stubbs discussed, the well
known advantages accruing to benefited
sections under the Irrigation law. In
Nevada, he said, 148,000 acres were b-
lng brought under cultivation by the
government :, He spoke of the broaden
ing Influence of the West upon eitisens,
and recounted the words of President
Roosevelt who discussed the land ques
tion in his last message.
He enlisted on ills side such men as
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, Sec
retary of the. Interior Hitchcock and
Commissioner Kicnaras or the general
land office. He recounted the testimony
brought before the house committee on
public lands and reviewed the opinions
of prominent stockmen of tbir country
with clinching effect.
To Lease Publlo Lands.
"The plan proposed," said he, 'Is to
lease public lands to worthy men, with
wise restrictions." ';
He reviewed the condition In Texas,
where lease laws are working well, and
agreed with President Roosevelt in his
recommendation to have a commission
appointed to examine all lands, classify
them and directing their disposal. '
Ths Australian system of making
variety, of leases, each adapted to cert
tain classes of lands, was endorsed.

"I have the honor to represent a state

of these lands were progressing with

New homes were being established when
suddenly, as a thunderbolt crashing out
from a clear sky, came forth the edict
that certain of , tha public lands were

Taat Official Ignorance.
'1 have various objections to urge
against tha policy of forest reservation
as at present in vogue. Experience has
shown that In the selection of many of
these large tracts so far as pertains to
my own state at least there is the most
ridiculous ignorance as .to their nature
and suitability for the purpose Intended.
Furthermore, they are altogether dispro
portionate in area to the needs which
they propose to remedy. There is a
woeful lack of discrimination and judg
ment In both these respects. When a
would-be buyer, of public lands comes
before the proper officials to negotiate
a purchase, he certifies as to what the
nature of the land is ; whether more
suitable for grazing, or agriculture, or
timber, or coal, or stone, etc. The in

and beyond such perfectly reasonable
requirements; it chooses what It will.
