Prof. Thomas Shaw of the University of Minnesota discussed "The Dual Cow," or cow bred for her milk and meat. Prof. Eu gene Davenport of tho Illinois Experiment station declared that stork was Judged from too many viewpoints. "Stock Is Judged," said he, "from tho standpoint of tho butcher, tho feeder, the breeder and the fanclor. A more general system of Judging should be used." What to Expert of Congress. "What the Live. Stock Interests of the United States Can Reasonably Expect of Congress" was the subject of the address of Hon. William M. Springer of Washing ton. He told of the troubles of the con creseman. "Congress Is a very busy place," said the speaker. "To get a bill through it must be a good bill; you must bo united behind It, and you must come to Washington and work for It. I have known bills to rest In con gress for years when nobody was opposed to them. Washington Is full of pigeon holes, and the rtgeon holes are full full of bill which are sleeping tho sleep which knows, no waking. If you stockmen want to work measures through get to work; get n stenog rapher, a typewriter nnd a press bureau, and send your best men there. You have been neglected by congress, but If you get busy matters will improve. Last session thoro wero 22,12$ bills Introduced In con gress, so you seo that If you want your particular bill considered you must get be hind It nnd push hard." Dr. D. E. Salmon, chief of the bureau of animal Industry, spoke of "Federal Inspection for Interstate Shipments of Live Stock." O. A. I'roul)'" .Vimie IlrlnK Aplanr. C. A. Prouty, n member of tlfo Interstate Commerce commission, was npplnuded when bis name wns announced. Ills subject was "Needed Changes In the Intorstate Com merce Law." Ho said tho commission had been roferred to as the "Judicial It." Tho present law upon which the commission Is founded and by which It acta should bo wiped off tho slate nnd n now one enacted. "The time Is fast coming," the speaker declared Impressively, "when thcro will bo no competition between railroads. Tho cost of bringing a steak from Texas to Vermont Is now only nbout 1 cent a pound. This Is due to competition among the railroads. This competition among cattlemen wo ' should try to promote. What Is the pur pose of these railroad combinations? To make money. It is not tho reduction In operating expenses whereby the roads ox ,pect to Increase tholr dividends. It Is by ' forcing moro freight money from the pub lic." T, NtrrllitK Morton' Aildrea. Hon. J. Sterling Morton's address today before tho convention commanded cenerol Interest. In hie Introductory remarks Mr. Morton dwelt upon the power of levying and the purposes of taxes, during the course of t which ho said: "Tho very first and the Inexorable requirement as to lawful taxa tion Is that It shall a levied exclusively for a public purpose" Proceeding hf ettld In pari; Is. the tax upon b.itterliie and olromar garlne. proposed by the Grout bill, ex oluslvely for n public purposo? Is It not a cunning device for using tho power to tax for tho purposo of destroying one industry In order to encourago mut build up an other Industry? In the first section of the bill tbero is an attempt to dolegnto the powor to regulnto commerce betwoen the elates by mnklng "ull articles known us nloomnrgarlne, buttcrlue, Imitation butter or Imltntlnn cheese, or nny substance In the semblance of butter or cheese nnd not made exclusively of pure ami una dulterated milk and crenm, transported Into any state iv territory, nnd remaining tbero for use, consumption, sale or storage therein, shall upon the orrlvnl within the limits of audi slate or territory; bo sub ject to tho operation nnd effect nf tho laws of such state or territory enncted and to tho exercise of Its police powers to the tamo extent and tn the same manner ns though such articles or substances had been .produced Ilk such stnte or territory, and shall not bovoxempt therefrom by reason of bolng Introduced therein, In or iginal packages or otherwise. Involves CunnhieT Scheme. Would not this provision enable anv state to Interrupt mid nbsolutely destroy tho rc-shlpnient of theso eommodltlns out of Its boundaries, provided thev bad been held therein, oven temporarily, either for consumption, snie or storngeT Aim is not thla suction n plausible attempt on the part of congress to delegate its power to regu late Interstate commerce to the several states nnd territories? This legislation Is sought not by farm ers, uut oy manuiaciuring una commercial dairymen, it naa very properly ana quite naturally originated In th state of Ver mont, whence came the Morrill protective tariff, and where the 'majority of the land owners and. farmers bnve persistently Im poverished themselves by clinging to the fallacies of protection. And Just as we have been asked to believe that the vast lobbies maintained nt Washington for the purpose of securing higher duties on Cer tain foreign articles Imported to the United Htntes nrc entirely philanthropic an to their motlven. nnd that the sole object of high protective tariff laws Is to make certain American manufacturers pny higher wnges to their employes, nnd at the same time compel them to sell the products of the labor of those employes at lower prices, so we nre now requested to tnx our credulity nnd believe that the un selfish dairymen of the United Htntes, In corporated nnd otherwise, are keeping nnd paying n lobby nt Washington, solely for the puhlle purpose of raising revenue for the government by imposing this to-cent tax on yellow-colored butter substitutes. Tnxes for I'rlntc Objrct. The speaker, maintaining that the levying of taxffl is Invested In tho legislative bodies, condemned that portion of tho Grout bill which applies to taxes on tho ground that It sought to levy taxes for the benefit of private persons and not for public purposes. Contrnuins he said: If the Grout bill can become a law of the land thero Is no reason why It should not oe followed by hundreds of similar bills, each one seeking lo build up soma par ticular Industry mid to tenr down another. Tho moment the American people permit tho use of tho tnxlng power Indiscrimi nately for other than public purposes that moment' they have determined upon tho downfall of Justice, cquntlty nnd decent fsovernment on this continent. In nil his itstorlc career, under nil forms of govern ment, man has demonstrated that when over tho law-mnklng power has come to be manipulated for special Interests nnd for their pecuniary advantage the deteriora tion, decay nnd final overthrow of that government hits logically nml speedily en sued. It certainly is not the business of a repubtlcnn form of government to prescribe privileges nnd emoluments for one class of citizens by cxtortlonntely taxing other classes. Tho machinery of government should operate like tho iitmospherc which Miirroiiiids us. bearlnc entlnllr its weight .upon ull, but oppressively upon none. The national live stock convention adopted resolutions voicing Ibelr satisfaction In the fact that a man who understands the cattlo Interests sits In the president's chair nt Washington. After lamenting the death of President McKlnlcy the resolutions wns read: Henri Greetlnic tn the Prealclrnt. "Whereas, tho Inscrutable will of tho Divine ruler of nations has seen fit to tako from us the beloved and deeply lamented president,' William McKlnlcy, and has ele vated to this position Hon. Theodore Roose volt, who has taken the reins of government with a firm hand and has. In his message to congress, displayed a keen Insight Into the needs of the people and has voiced In vigorous tone tho demands of the people for progess, In the right direction; therefore, be It "Resolved. That we sent greeting to President Roosevelt, assuring him of tho loyalty and support of the stockmen of tho country In all his undertakings for tho good of the people. We recognize In our chief cxocutlvo one who Is familiar with tho Industry wo represent, who has wielded a lariat and branding Iron and knows per sonally of tho Joys, tho hardships and the fatigues of llfo on tho ranch and range. The cowboy on tho range and the stock man on tho ranch, nil feel that tn President Roosevolt tho nation has a loyal, honest and fearless ruler ond the livestock Industry has n friend nt court In the person of one who knows the needs nnd necessities of that Industry." Gov. Smiine Addresses Convention. Governor Savage of Nebraska spoke briefly In prnlso of Chicago and gave stockmen credit for much of the city's greatness. Prof. Frederick V. Covllle, botanist of the department of agrlculluro, spoke on "Pois onous Plants on the Range." Prof. Covllle spoke In part ns follows: In tho early daya of the range stock In dustry, when gras.H was abundant, profits wero enormous, nnd nnnual losses of 10 or 15 per cent, through hard winters nnd other cuuses, were considered trivial, little at tention wns paid to the death of nnlmnls from poisonous plants. Hut now, when tho range Is closely grazed, competition Is nctlvo nnd winter feeding has entailed n new expense, tho prevention of losses from contagious disenses, from wild animals and from poisonous plants become Important factors In successful stock ruining. Thero Is n widespread assumption nmong ranchmen that all the poisonous plants may by some wltchcrnft of science be ex terminated from tho range. On the basis of past experience, however, there Is no reasonable hope that such a method of denting with n wild pin nt can be success fully devised nnd cnrrled out. To accomplish tho desired results It Is necessary for the department and the stockmen to act together, tho one to secure the facts, tho other to npply them. In closing let me mnke one practical sug- fn'stlon, that every sheen owner require his lordcrs, and every cattle owner roqulro at least one of his range riders, to know the poisonous plants of his range. This knowl edge and nn Intelligent npptlcatloti of It will do moro thnn nny other one thing to obviate the losses to which you nrc ordi narily subjected. Resolution Adopted. Resolutions were then presented to the convention and adopted: That Arizona and New Mexico be admitted to statehood. That duties on hides be retained so long ob the man who manufactures them Into different articles Is protected by the tarlft. That by treaty between this governmc.it and Germany that the latter government romovo tho ban on American meats and that If the German government will appoint Us' on Inspectors to send to this country the National Llvo Stock association will B.)e to tho paying of their salaries, provldtng that meats bearing the stamp of the inspectors ho recolved into Germany without piotest. That an Inter-state law for the prosecution of horso thieves and cattlo rustlors be enacted.

Tho only discussion over the resolutions was, precipitated by the death sentence asked tn be passed on buzzards. The discussion was brief, however, nnd tho assertion that the extermination of the cnrlon bird wns a move In the direction of scientific advancement resulted in the pas sage of tho resolution.
