ance Of what is supposed TO DO foot and mouth
disease in Kansas has created universal alarm
throughout all the grazing regions west, and
has rendered most careful investigation
necessary either to prove thai no such disease
exists or that IL should be oxtirpated at once.
1t would be difficult for any one to state how
such investigation could possibly injure the
cattle trade of tho country. Nor can tho
provision for the destruction of diseased
cattle have other than beneficial effect on
the industry. Whatever may be tho plan
of condemnation and slaughter and
compensation contained in the bill, tho
act itself, if legally conducted 10
simply tho policy Of every enlightened
nation on earth when exposed to similar
danger. The system mas worked well where
over tried-notably in Massachusetts, whose
prompt action in 1860 not only removed all
removed all the existing disease from that
state, but set an example of promptnoss and
thoroughness which may well DO initiated,
either by the states alone or in connection
with the national government If called on to
avert national calamity. While, therefore,
there may DO constitutional questions in
volved in the bill not easily adjusted, and
while opinions may differ as to how far the
federal government can cooperate with a
state government in abatng national
nuisance, there can be no doubt whatever Of
the economic value of the measure which has
passed the house aud Is now before the senate.
The Chicago committee arc liable to be-,
charged with other motives than interest in
the cattle trade of the country when thoy
appear here to cooperate with the opponents
of tho bill, who resorted to every expedicnt
to kill it in the house. The doctrine of state
rights may stand in the way, but no business
consideration can possibly do so, unless it be
the interest of transportation corporationso or
cattle spectators, who arc entirely inditlor-
ent to the health or quality of the cattle they
ship to tho eastern market, and who, in their
devotion to Texas cattle, insist on the as
sumption that they havo infectious and con-
tagious disease, and must consequently be
shut ont of the market by the provisions OF
the bill. CATTLE RAISER.
