REVOLT OF THE sTockMEN.
From Carbondale Item.

From Carbondale Item.
a feeling of disgust and open revolt
at the legislature in killing the AM
mons bill, No. 50, which required the
railroads to fence their right of way.
pervades the rank and file of the stock
men of the state
The stockmen as body requested the
passage of the stock inspection bill and
the railroad stock killing bill-which
was all they wanted. These measures
were asked to be made laws as a matter
OF protection to the stock interests of
the state.
The stockmen were and are entitled
to this legislation at the hands of the
Lawmakers of the state and should
have.had it. The bills were carefully
framed and covered the premises in an
equitable way, and why they were de-
MED fair treatment ut the hands of the
Legislature surpasses the average un-
derstanding of ordinary fair-minded
people.
1t may be remarked right here that
there is hereafter. 1t is also well to
remind those legislators, who so mis-
represented their constituents, that the
stoekmen have not suddenly died and
that there are those who can be sent to
take their places at the capitol building
who will do justice to one of the great.
est industries of the west.
The names of those members who
have knitted these bills are posted on
the wall for ready reference.
Those members who imagine they
can fly in the face of public sentiment
and outrage the rights or those who
sent them to the halls of legislation to
enact beneficial laws, and who have
proven recalcitlant to pledges given,
should and will be relegated to the OBJ
scurity and scorn which belong to such
cattle-and they will get theirjust dues
at the proper time.
Appended are the names Of the mem
bers Of the lower house who opposed
