came to load my cattle = was surprised
to be told by the railroad officials nat
they could not move my cattle until some
Kansas state inspector coulu be broug..-
there TO inspect and release the cattle.
Then I started on a hot trail after this

All this line my cattle were in the pens

At Arkansas City there is stationed a
federal inspector who is an expert and a
thoroughly scientific man, and his in
spection ought to be enough, but in a4ui-
tion a farmers boy from SouJn Haven
had to give his weighty ouinion, which
opinion was brought to light by the state
IS glare through the Dars of a cattle car.
Further, the state inspectors viii not CO.
operate with the government inspectors
as they do in every other state, for if in
the absence of the state official, -4e fed
eral inspector sAould pass on any cattle,
the state man would lose LIS fees Worse
yet as the state inspector is paid for his
time and all expenses by the state, it
stands him in nand TO get as far off as he
can from where the cattle are waiting
for him, and thus increase his per 0Iem
and mileage. Now, I sincerely hope -
if it is possi~-e, the State Live ----- San
itary Board win so modify this useless
and ruinOus law so that its operations
viii not so seriously delay cattle in tran
sit and thus work a very serious hard
ship on Slippers. BY its regulations, no
cattle Of any graue or class can enter
Kansas from 1ne south, or even be ship
ped through to Kansas CI.y without first
going through this farce. If this law
must be enforced to give some broken
down political heeler a job then why not
have the inspectors at convenient points
where we can get at them quickly and
easily? One of my cars was billed to
Kansas City, where the cattle were to ve
slaughtered at once. and not to be sent
to the country or on the ranges. nc idea
of preventing the spread of Texas fever
is. Of course. laudable, but the United
States government has already attended
to that IN a most per -ect system, ana
any how even a state law, -eIieve, could
be devised that would not subjec, the
shipper TO such Aarrassing delays and
loss of money. We want more cattle in

kept out by sue legal and legislative
barriers"
