THE OREGON WOOLGROWERS
Published In Full From Official Record of 15th
Annual Convention of State Association,
Held at Vale, Oregon, January 34,
1913, by Order of Dofegates
Resolution unanimously adopted by
the Grepon Wool tirower'a Association
at ila fifteenth annual convention held
at Vale, Jan. 3.J4, In full ere as iol-lowa:
the precedent of th pure tooi lejiig

deduction of Tariff
Economic thought teaches ard ln-.si-nesg
experience proves that pn per pro
tection must be given to every Amtri
can industry bated on the difference in
cost of production at home and abroad.
Reverses under reduced tariff rates
on wool in 1S93 absol tely demonstra
ted that a too radical reduction in rates
meant the sta nation if not the ruina
tion of the industry.
To this end that rates on wool be not
only a equate, but absolutely fair,
maintaining a pioper parity between
the raw material and the manufactured
article, an4 that full but impartial
justice te done every branch of the in
dustry, we reaffirm our endorsement of
a non partisan tariff board as the pro
per medium for determining: the diff
erence in the coat of prodcution at home
and abroad and the establishment of a
just and sufficient rate.
Inasmuch as our product, in pll mark
ets, is valued on a scoured basis, com
mon justice suggetta, and we insist
that the present system of levying
duties on the g ease basis is wrorg in
practice, and that a specific scoured
basis is not only scientifically correct,
but is the only system that insures an
equitable and permanent adjustment of
the tariff question as applied to wool.
The growing of wool is a business in
and ot itself ar.d for tariff purposes
should be so considered, but we favor
proper'protective.di.ties for the manfac
turer. We are no supplicants of
special favors, but in the strength of
American citizenship representing our
industry, involving enormous capital
Injury In Shearing
Whereas, practice in vogue at many
of the shearing plants in Oregon in
voked to promote speed in shcarirg
have resulted in general injury to the
sheep being sheared; and
Whereas, proper care and attention
in many cases is not given to the hand
ling of a fleece by the sh"arer after it '
is taken from the sheep's back: and
Whereas, the sheep sheraers are paid
the highest wages of any laborer in
connection with the handling and mar
keting of either wool or sheep: be it
Kesolved, that this association rec
omrrend to the owners of the shearing
plant that they require each shearer
employed by them to take all possible
ca'e to prevent the injury of sheep
while being sheared and the fleece
while in the shearing pen; it being the
sense of this association that the shear
ers should use both hands in catching
and placing the sheep in position for
shcarirg, thus necessitating the stop
ping of tiie machine and freeing the
hand used in holding the snearer; and,
be it further
Resolved that the president and sec
retary of this association communicate
with the Oregon Humane Society and
request that the attention of the Sheep
Shearers' Union be called to the laws
of the State of Oregon governing the
treatment of dumb animals.

uct : be it
Resolved, that the Oregon Wnol Gro
wers' Association express its hearty
appreciation of Mr. Holiday's visit to
its fifteenth annual Convention and of
the instructive address delivered by
him.
O razing Fees In Forest
Whereas the primary reason for the
creation of a national forest was for
the protection of the timber and water
supplies of the United States, and that
the charg of grazing fees is but in-
in lands, flocks and eauipment, bearing
constantly heavier expenses for labor j cidental ; and
and supplies, giving of our indust-y Wherea?, the grazing
er.ersv and our best business effort in : instances, are more
the production of a necessity of life.
We urge that our industry be treated
fees, in some
than sufficient to
pay the expense incident Ci both the
protection of the timber and water
from a business and not a political-' supplies, as well as the supervision of
standpoint and that any revisions of
the tariff be placed on sound, economic
principles rather than that of mere
sentiment.
Shoddy in "Woolens
Whereas, the use of shoddy in tht
manufacture of wool goods is an im
position and fraud upon t'e purchaser,
an J unjustly displaces the use of a
proportionate amount of raw wool; be
it
Resolved, that congress, following
grazing of stock therein: and
Whereas, the greater part ot the
revenue received by the national forest
from grazing fees is paid by the sheep
raisers: and
W hereas, sheep are the greaest pre
ventative of forest fires Known to the
forest service : and
Wtereas, the grazing fee charged
the sheep-raiseria too high when com
pared with the fee required of cattle
raisers and horse-raisers: be it
