WASHINGTON, Dec. 3-The decision of the
United States Supreme Court that Cer;ifi-
Gates of inspection by the United States Blu
reaU If Animal Industry are not sufficient
to insure the Shipmcnt of cattle from State
to State. regardless of local inspection and
certificate, has very much disturbed the
cattlemcn of the Southwest.
The National Live stock Association has
been following the matter closely and has
taken stcps TO secure legislation which wi |
enlarge the powers Of the Federal inspec-
tors in this business
The rist Of the Supreme Courts decision
WAS thai in the act OF establishing the Bu-
reau of Animal Industry. Congress did not
specifically authorize it to certify cattle as
sound Cor the purpose of interstate COM
merce. but confined the proper powers of
that bureau to Investigating and stamping
out contagious diseases.
Where the State inspectors work in har-
mony or do not demand an additional GER
sufficient. but under tn. present law. as
construed ny the supreme Court. the Fed
cral certificate ~ absolutely void If objec-
lion is made by a State. and an additional
local inspector and certificate are de-
Inaudeti.
TIE Live Stock Association, through its
attorney. Judge Springer. will present Il
I'LL to this session of Congress which 1t
hopes to have acted upon speedily. the eff
is required, that from the United States
Bure.u Of Animal Industry.
II being at present in the power OF each
State to demand an additional certificate.
the ca;tleEltn contend that animals in
transit through a number of States are de-
lared and the shipper put to unnecessary
trouble and expense.
