TWO fopuiist members Of the sanitary COM
mission. George Munger, regent. has
been here for two days for no other pur-
pose than to brace up the administration
on the matter. He and johnson had a talk
to-day.
Chairman Johnson claims that the nron-
er way to dispose Of the cattle is 70 send
them TO Kansas City packer for imma-
dfate slaughter If the cattle prove TO he
all right. then let the packer pay the re-
gents the market price for beef cattle If
any of them are affected with tuberculosis
as the PoDulist regents loudly contender
until they decided to sell the herd. let them
go to the tank. Mr.. Johnson is opposed
to having the cattle scattered around over
the state and run the chances of their
spreading tuberculosis. He says that every
a''.A-ioA Sis'oSAttieu dt tNc recent test
proved to be affected
The test of the animals now living ard
to be saddled off at the sale was made by
the students. Regent Munger admitted
this tonight, although he said it was done
under the direction of the expert veterinar-
ians. who were not present all the time.
Just what excuse the PopuIists have to
Johnson's plan of getting rid of the cattle
cannot be learned. Mr.. Munger refused to
say, when asked point blank. Then, if the
cattle are all right, the question arises.
why IS 1t that the Populist regents are So
anxious to get rid of them when they mus:
turn right around and buy another herd OF
cattle. Only a few weeks ago in order to
make political capital for their party, the
regents spread the report broadcast thai
the cattle were rotten with tuberculosis.
and that the people of Manhattan were
SICK on account of using the milk from
the cows. Now they want to sell the herd.
and are advertising that it Is freer from
that disease than any other herd on earth.
when. only a short time ago, upon post
Hortem examination every animal killed
was found to be affected.
Chairman johnson will file his protest in
behalf of the cattle interests of the state.
The Cattlemens Association Is bitterly op-
posed to the sale.
