 The price at present of good cattle
 IS fair, much better than a year ago
 and the general feeling is that the
 combine or big four have got alarm
 ed in regard to the onslaught made

 The cattle growers want this move ment to succeed; they want every state to !egiSlate. 1 have heard men m Texas, Colorado and New Mex leo cp@nly acknowledge having shipped cattle to market for fear of their dying on their hands, and that these cattle were sold in Chicago.

The state legisla- lures have got to take this thing up this winter. Just think of few men fixing the price of $i00,GO0,O0O of property every year. The cattle men are bankrupt simply for the reason that the combine is robbing them.n
