be made in an itemiEed form, that
this be printed two weeks prior to each
annual meeting OF the association, and
that copies be mailed to each member, so
that when the association met the mem
bers would have at hand convenient refer
ence to the receipts and expenditures.
The reading of these resolutions and
the remarks made by Nh. Frewen, caused
a lengthy discussion, particularly from
those who championed the executive
committee. The question at issue was
quite generally begged by these speakers,
who INDUCED in long ~eulogies on the past
excellent work of the officers of the asso-
citation. Thos. Sturgis made a brief
speech Judge Carey did not leave the
chair, but he made a long speech oppos-
ing Mr.. Frewen's resolutions. He re-
viewed the work of the executive commit
tee, showed how much had been saved to
the association by the careful inspection
and reduced transportation to market, as
supervised by the executive committee,
and compared the condition of the live
stock business, as improved by the com
mittee, to what it vas a few years ago.
The committee had worked hard, faith
fully, without pay or hope of reward; it
had saved to the associate n $780, 600 dur
ing the past year, and he did not consider
it just to cast any doubts upon its work or
its motives, even by implication. He
wanted the committed to have unlimited
power. Mr.. Carey's speech was often
applauded, and several times was cheered.
Mr.. Frewen explained that in view of
the fact that a tax of two cents per ami
NAL would create a larger fund han the
committee said would be expended, and
in view of the fact that he had expressly
stated that he did not wish to c%ritieise the
work of the executive committee. he
failed to understand why the committee
objected to a limitation which gave it a
larger fund than it would use.
Mr.. McShane said that the Wyoming
members really paid less than the Nebras-
ka ones. Unless some better arrangement
could be made, the Nebraska members
would quite probably withdraw from the
association.
Mr.. Frewen inquired about his resolu-
tons, which seemed to have been lost in
the rush of business. Col. Babbitt set
tied that business BY moving that the res
