NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
Senator Warren Of Wyoming Succeeds the Late
Judge Lawrence as President.
Warm Controversy over Vice President Benefits "Bule-
tn"-New Constitution and Bylaws.

The National WOOl-growers' associa-
ton yesterday held a one-day conven-
tion. during which the association was
reorganized into a society that cOntem-
plates embracing every -oOl-grower,
large and small, throUgho, the coun-
trg. Brand new constitute, and by
laws were adopted, bur these seem to
have proven no more satisfactory than
the old ones, for when the newly APP
pointed executive committee met in the
evening, it decided TO ask the president
to call meeting of their committee to
draft new constitution and bylaws, to
be presented TO the next annual con-
vention, where the work of-reorganiza-
ton viii begin again
The convention brought together be
tween 600 ana 200 sheepmen- There was
a sprinkIing Of visitors in the galleries,
but the uoof-growers alone played to
no such crowded houses as had followed
them when they assembled as portion
of the National Livestock association.
But for all that the sessions were none
the less lively The regular business
was interspersed with band music, and
in the afternoon the vice president
found himself and his magazine, the
National shepherds Bulletin, the center
of a lively tilt.
The discussion of the constitution
and bylaws developed a condition OF
affairs existing in the old organization
by which membership in it was secured
by subsCrib bling 80 cents to the Bulletin

Some Heavy Sales of BIGOded Cattle Made

The new constitution and bylaws were
SO framed as to continue this order or
things but before the convention got
through with them all reference to the
Bulletin was raked out and a resolution
passed declaring that the treasurer
should pay out no funds towards sub
scriptions to any publication. After the
convention adjourned the executive
committee took the matter in it's own
hands. made the Bulletin the aSsOcla-
tons official organ. and instructed the
board of control to find ways and
means of paying for it.
This. however. was the only tilt IN the
convention. and the remainder of the
proceedings passed off harmoniously

Some School Difficulties That Need Leg
isIdtive Consideration.

To the Editor of The Herald:
Now that the legislature is in session.
people living on the ranches are anx-
ioUs to have a few changes made in the
free school laws. so as 10 prevent a
deal Of friction between the several
school districts.
First-Persons having ranches in
other districts than the ones in which
their winter homes are located, wish
to have their children enumerated in
the districts in which their children go
to school in the winter. but the trus-
tees believe ii lawful and right to emu
merate them where they are found;
then there is d row. and frequently the
children are enumerated in both dis
1 trIcts- Three or four years ago the
late DR.. Park laid down the rule that
the stale and county appropriations
must follow the child" But the pres
ent law reads thai a transfer of funds
may be made from one district to an
other in order TO follow the child" but
school boards, and the result is that
few changes are made.
SecUnG-PersOns living in one school
district move into a larger town for the
purpose Of giving their children better
school facilities than they set in their
own small school. II the funds follow
the child the small districts are sadly
put about fer funds. and have to levy
| local taxes to pay their teachers This
| 5 a hardship on the small districts. /
presume the spirit of the free school
system is that the wealthy should help
/ the poorer people to educate their chill
dren: then the Weather districts
should also help the poorer ones, and
allow such children as above mentioned
to attend their schools without the ap-
preparations following the child, W
which would be very little detriment to
the larger districts, but a severe strain
on the resources OF the smaller ones.
Third-There is another class of peO-
pie who are eternaIly moving about,

and their children may be enumerated
IN one district and be obliged TO attend
school in another outside the county,
probably. This Is smother disturbing
element in the business OF the school
boards. who cannot often determine
what funds they can depend on to pay
their teachers.
Fourtn-SuH another class exists:
Well-to-dO people who pay a heavy
school tax and have no children of their
own, often, TO get eVen,' let two or
three of their relatives children live
with them during the winter in order
TO attend school in "a better equipped
district, and 50 disturbing the poorer
district in which they may have been
enumerated
To remedy some of these minor evils
it would be, I believe, better to have
two enumeratiOns made; one a week
or two before school opens in the
fall. and a second just before the
schools close in the spring, the
spring enumeration TO stand for the
present july one; then, to even up
when the children come in to attend
school, IN the fall Indeed, the smaller
districts should have a little encourage
ment to ena bic them to employ higher
priced teachers. say, if they enumerate
fifteen or twenty pupils. to allow them
appropriations 10 the amount of tWeny-
five or thirty pupils
W e. IN the IhIniy populated dlSJflctS-
have found deal of trouble from these
little disturbing elements in the schools
and probably the same exist in the
larger districts Cannot some of our
big-hearted legislators spend a few
hours of their surplus time in deViSinS
means and ways to have these matters
eQUalfzed. and thereby give all children
of school age something like equal free
school DrivilegeS2
PeopIe owning ranches have to move
their boys away from school early III
the spring far too often. and should be
stopped. if possible, without causing too
much of a hardship to the parents.

New CoMMITTEE RrEETs.
Orders the Preparation of New Con-
stitution and Bylaws.

At $50 last evening the new executive
committee held a meeting in As
sembly hall. The session was exec
utive and none but members was al
lowed in the room. Vice President
Bennett occupied the chair and II.
Carlisle was made secretary of the
meeting.
The first business to come up was
the choosing of a secretary and a
treasurer for the association. A. J.
KnOlltn of Idaho was the choice for
treasurer, but the secTetaTy's appoint
ment was left to a committee of three.
which will notify Senator Warren of
his election as president and confer
with him on the selection of a secre-
tary. This committee of three is Gem
posed Of Jesse NJ. Smith, J. II. Kirk
patrick OF Utica, \. Y, and Vice Pres
ident Bennett
The committee also authorized the
appointment by the president of a
beard OF control.
The next point decided was that Mr..
BENEFITS magazine the National
Shepherds Bulletin. which had been
torn from the constitution and bylaw;
and trampled upon in the convention.
should be made the official organ of
the association. the board of control to
decide how il should be paid for. This.
It IS thought by some, Will prove a
rather difficult task. as the convention
instructed the executive committee 60

The constitution and bylaws adopt
ed yesterday wssc not considered sat
isfactory, and the president is re-
quested to call a meeting of the execu-
tive committee to draft a new constf-
tuition and bylaws to be presented at
the next annual meeting of the asso-
citation. The executive committee also
decided 10 resolve itself into local sub
committees to make suggestions for the
Improvement of the association and tO

Inspection of Sheep.

No committee being ready TO report
when Mr.. WalIace's paper had been
read, the chair asked +. q. uagenbarth
of Idaho to give the convention his
ideas on government Inspection OF
sheep. which he was. down on the bro
gramme to speak on in the afternoon.
Mr.. HaSenbarth advocated that tine
federal government be placed i'm charge
Of all state inspection of sheep for sea b.
The state appointees- he held, were too
often inefficient. while the bureau of
animal industry was well equipped with
good men. His advice was that the
sheep men go to their legislatures and
have them enact laws giving the feder-
al government Jurisdiction over the
state inspection. At the close OF his ad-
dress he read a list of resolutions on
this point, copies Of which sh1urf be
sent to all state legislatures and to the
bureau of animal industry. The resoIu-
tons were referred to the committee.
An adjournment was then taken until

Long Wrangle over the Associations
Official Organ.

The committee on bylaws was not
ready to report at the opening of the
afternoon session. and Assistant Score
tary Monroe read a paper by Cornelius
Hedges on the Forest Reserves"
The paper touched on tie leasing of
public lands. holding that it could not
but prove unsatisfactory. 1t advocated
the paSturing of sheep in the forest
reserves. The sheep, il argued. would
act as scavangerS, benefit the soil and
the heTderS could be commissioned TO
act as guards in preventing the devas-
tating fires that do 50 much to consume
the forests.
The forests" said the paper in con-
clusion. besides serving the purpose

ers of the sky, should serve every. pub

This provided that any wool grower or
