great depression mas rested upon the
stock rGising industry Of the state, Snd
being DESTROYS Of siding IN eYary possible
WY the nasteniug of 6 return to prosper
GUS times, iGdorse the following sugges

Congress of the Uaited States two bills,
the passage Ct which will seriously CT D.
pie the industry and tend 10 still further
reduce cattle values in our state. One Of
these Is the Springer Oklahoma bill and
ire ether the amended Palmer bill
The first Cantemplates throwing open TO
settlement Of large portion Of the Indian
Territory in violation of ssCred treaty obli-
gators Can we afford TO sit idly by sDd
permit this violation Of treaty sdpuls-
tons? The other bill is an attempt to
usurp control of the Bureau Of Animal
Industry and place the work of controll-
ing the movement of southern cate in
the hands Of men who have heretofore
made preteXE of disease to shut our cat
tie out from the markets of the country
Therefore, we, Representatives of the

Range Association to be held in Denver,
Col, on the 28th day Of Msrch, there to
unite with the range people Of the whole
country in an earnest protest against the
passage Of the bills referred 20 above.
The passage of these bills means millions
Of dollars loss 10 Texas. We believe that
by union of action at Denver that dire
calamity may be prevented. Let every
man go who can possibly do 50.

we are prepared to say that the Fort

las made the exceedingly low
rate of $40 for round
trip ticket from Fort Worth to Denver
