John M. Stahl, of Illinois, secretary of
the congress, and Hon. B. F. Clayton, of
Iowa, president.
President Clayton's Address,.
The morning session closed with the
annual address Of President Clayton.
''There are many questions upon which
we should take action. Notably among
them is the enlargement Of the agrtcultu-
raj department. giving it the power and the
means by which it can open up every pos
sible avenue OF trade for American farm
product. and to extend to it the same pro-
lection accorded to other interests.
1.-THE amendment Of our Interstate COM
merce law and antitrust measures, CIV
ing the proper officers the right, and to
make 1t his duty to send for persons and
papers aud compel the attendance Of wit
nesses or to place Them behind the prison
bars regardless Of the millions they NAV
possess. The extension Of free mail de-
livery to the rural districts. the enlarge
ment OF the weather bureau, q more sys-
temattc crop statistics. the reclamation Of
arid and semi-arid lands. and to restrict
boards OF trade to point where they wall
prevent fraud in dealing in options and to
entirely stop the bucket shop disgrace.
I'VE should ask the congress Of the
United States to make sufficient appropria-
ton to prevent the importation Of infect
ed live stock. and to stamp out existing
diseases. You, gentlemen, hatltng from all
parts Of the country. know much better
than I can tell you the Importance. of urg-
ing prompt action regarding every OBJ
stacle preventing the success Of the farm
er. The congress of the United States
when placed In possession of facts have been
quick to eradicate existing evils. We
should demand no legislation; we should
seed to do no damage to other legitimate
enterprises, but we should insist upon the
recognition of our interests. and we
should be satisfied with nothing less.''
