W yoming Senator | Says Livestock Industry Sound Bills Pending That Will Elim inate Many Difficulties, 's Speaker Tells Livestock Men at Meet Here. i - “Some people have talked about the livestock Industry going to pieces.” declared Senator J. R. Kendrick, Wyoming, addressing the national convention of the Livestock assncia tion, "but remember this—the live stock Industry is not going to do any such thing. It is going to con tinue. Some men in the livestock businea may go to pieces, but the business will go on Just the same, and is going to be saved.” The senator la a member of the agricultural and forestry committee and a large livestock owner In Wyo ming. The meeting on the second day of the convention was in Hotel Fontenelte. Bills Before Congress. He declared that tifrre are hills be fore congress now which will affect livestock interests. The Norris-Sin dalr bill, he said, will stabilize prices on grain. Hearings on the Norbeck bill Indicate that there are agrlcul tural sections in tile northwest that are In the same condition as pictures of Russia had been painted. "A bill is certain to be Introduced by the railroad committee, looking for the repeal of section 15 A of the transportation act. and also to lessen xcessive Pullman fare. “Any relief to the livestock Inter ests must come from within. Con gress Is willing lo help in every pos sible way, hut the real help must come from the master minds of the industry. You must work out your own problems. Just ns every other industry has done before you. Organizations Crged. “There must be local organizations and through them general organiza tions. These will finally solve your problems.” Speaking on the packers’ control act. Senator Kendrick said that It took thrr* years to draft and pass the present bill. If the packers suc ceed in having the section giving the government access to their books de clared unconstitutional, congress will pass another hill in one tenth of the time which will provide a remedy and place the books before the public-. S. H. Cowan, attorney for the American Livestock association, Fort Worth. Tex., scored section 1f> A of the transportation act as destroying the original benefits of the Hepburn bill for shippers and substituting ar bitrary statutory rule to produce s certain revenue whether or not the shipper suffers. “The consolidation of the railroads permitted under the present act, will result In elimination of competition and this outweighs any possible ad vantages to flow from such consoli dation. Valuation anil Kate Making. "Another feature of great impor tance pending before congress is a Muestlon of valuation to be used for purposes of rate making. Certainly It is impossible for the railroads, if their ^gga'eords are correct, to make the ag gregate sum of money provided for In sect'on 15 A, based upon the per centage upon a valuation closely ap proximating their book value. These valuations, of eoyrse, Include un earned increment In enhanced value of real estate, terminals and right of-way. and certainly a limitation will lie necessary to be placed upon these valuations also the day of regulation. In the way of rate making so as to reduce the rates to what is reason able to the agricultural business ol the country, is at an end. It is a matter of extreme difficulty to formu late a basis of valuation if valuation is to be used as a hasis of rate making on specific commodities, which never lias been the case and, in my opin ion, can never be the case with respect to commodities." R. C. Pollock, managing director. Livestock and Meat board, Chicago, ridiculed the propaganda, allegedly spread over the United States, against the use of meat as food. "We do not demand that people eat more meat,” he said In the course of outlining the work of the Ment board," but we do show from scien tific tests the value of meat as part of the menu." He spoke on the "Advancement of the Livestock and Meat Industry." Today W. B. Greeley, forrester, Washington, will speak on "Grazing Fees on National Forests.” "Intermediate Credit Banks," Is the subject alloted to J. C. Underwood. Underwood, Wyo., Carl Gray, presi dent of the Union Pacific, is scheduled l^to talk on "Railroad Rates." Humphrey Out for Senate. Lincoln. Jan. 16.—George C. Humphrey of Grand Island today en tered the race for state senator from the Twenty-fourth district by filing his nomination with the secretary of state. Humphrey is a republican.
