"The annual report of the Vermont
cattle commission" remarks the Bellows
Falls Times, snakes instructive reading.
A careful study of what the commission
has been doing during the past year
ought to convince all that it is doing
commendable work, work that should
receive the moral and financial support
of the people of the state. An aggress-
i've campaign against the continuance
of the commission has already been
inaugurated in the present legislature.
But if it succeeds in abolishing all re-
strictions OH the spread of disease among
cattle it will infict a public calamity"
To which the Rutland Herald adds:
The farmers represented in the legisla-
ture have no notion of abolishing all re-
strictions on the spread of tuberculosis.
They simply do not want their cattle
slaughtered without adequate compensa-
ton. We have great sympathy with the
farmers in this movement and hope that
the law governing the commission will
be so modified that herds cannot be
wiped out without adequate compen sa-
ton to their owners.
