PRESIDENT SPRINGER ATTACKS
TRUSTS.
MEMORIALS TO CONGRESS
Urging That Laws for the Better Pro-
lection of Stock Interest
Be Passed.

John w. Springer's attack upon the
so-called beef trust, and the passage
OF memorials to congress urging that
laws for the betterment of live stock
conditions be enacted, were the feat
ures OF the first days session of the
sixth annual convention of the Ma
tional Live tSock association.
President springer's Address.
President Springer, after declaring
that 'the American stockmen pro-
poses to take care of himself" served
notice that chose interests must re-
ceive protection from the congress of
the United States just as long as the
finished products made from our raw
material are heavily protected"
The sentiments were received with
applause.
Memorial Sent to Frye.
One memorial, which was tele-
graphed to Senator Frye tonight, was
as follows:
"Your petitioners, the National
Live Stock association of the United
States, representing the feeders and
handlers of live stock in the United
States, desire through you to call the
attention of the senate to house reso-
luton 1922, a bill which provides
the secretary of agriculture with au-
thority to prevent the spread of on
tagious diseases in the United States
and to establish rules and regula-
tions for the inspection Of live stock
to be transported through the United
States and your petitioners would re-
spectfully present that there is an
immediate and imperative necessity
for the passage of this law. We
would therefore urge the senate to
consider this bill at an early date and
we respectfully request that the said
bill be enacted into law"
The Anti-Shoddy Bill.
Another memorial was addressed
to Chairman Payne, of the ways and
means committee of the house, and
urged that the Grosvenor anti-shoddy
bill, now being held up in committee,
be reported.
An address by L. G. Boyle of Kan
sas City, upon "The Mortgage Law
as 1t Relates to the Live Stock Indus
ary' aroused a lively debate among
the delegates. Mr.. Boyle told the
stockmen that they do not exert the
influence in legislation that their
wealth and power should exert. He
advised that a lobbying committee be
appointed and instructed to visit the
legislature of every state and terri
tory to secure uniform legislation af-
fecting live stock interests.
Suggestion Is Endorsed.
The suggestion was endorsed by
other speakers and vas referred to
the committee on laws. Among the
delegates who participated in the dis
cussion were Cooley, of Idaho, and
Johnson of Oregon. One of the speak
ers suggested that the lobbying COM
mittee should also try to have uni
form inspection laws passed, as mo
two states have the same inspection
laws
A resolution urging that congress
impose the same advalorem duty on
imported peits and skins as is now
imposed on cattle hides was passed.
1t was further urged that picked
hides, skins and pelts and the splits
of the same be placed on the dutiable

IOWA LAKE CASE SETTLED.

Involving Title TO Lake Bed.
Des Moines, Jan. 26.-The supreme

Ing the title to the bed of Iowa Lake In

andered in the government survey of
1919. Professor Kent and others took
possession of the lake some years ago.

m then he and his associates pleaded
1t was swamp land aid obtained a title
thru the state and county. Owners of
adjacent land claimed thu lake bed on
the ground that it was formed by accre-
ton to their land. The supreme court
holds the meander lines were improp-
erly surveyed, and the land should new
er have been set aside as a lake, and
hence the adjacent property owners
have no claim to the bed OF it. But the
court also denies the land has ever been
declared swamp land by a proper au-
thority, and hence the claim Of the
owners Of the lake bed. John j. Carr
and G. w. Bryan, is held invalid. "A
re-survey will be necessary before the
land can be designated as swamp land
and the state can conve title. This
survey will probably be asked by the
governor, and then the question will be
settled.

Rally and the County Seat Contest.
Special to Times Republican.
Britt, q 26.-The people of Han
cock county were Saturday entertained
by the citizens of Britt, Iowa at a
great mass meeting called for the pur-
pose OF outlining a curse Of action
in the famous court house fight which
has been just recently been renewed
after a silence OF five years. A free
dinner was. given to the farmers after
which followed speeches in the opera
house by Britt's leading citizens. The
western half Of the county want the
county seat relocation to be sub
mittcd to the voters, but this is bitterly
opposed by the east half. Five years
ago Garner took 1t for granted that
the supervisors could designate q new
location for the court house, and the
citizens OF that town built a building
for that purpose costing $4,000 which
has been unoccupied since it was built
in 1897. They later learned to their
sorrow that a relocation couldb made
only by the voters, and yeti they are
afraid to let the matter be admitted
to a vote for fear the re-loc;. ion will
be made at Britt.
A number of prominent Garnerites
were over to see what was going on
at Britt, and they We're cited upon for
speeches and asked pointed questiona
as to why they were not willing to
submit this matter to a vote. But tn.
Garnerites were loaded for such ques-
tons and talked all around the point,
but no " to questions could be
obtained. A Garner lawyer in par
ticular who was asked this question.
replied that when he was a young man
he always made it a point to answer
all questions fairly and sQuarely, but
his later experiences in life had taught
him to ponder carefully and replied by
saying that IL the party who asked the
question would call at his office next
week he would try to give him an an
.swer.
A free supper was also served aftes
which occurred a free entertainments
at the opera house consisting of stere-
opticaIi views and a lecture on Lin
coin. Not one-third OF the farmers
alone could gain admission altho the
house seats 500. Britt submits an offer
to the county OF a $4,000 court house
absolutely free If the relocation Ia
made here. The money is all subscribed
and all Britt wants is a decision of
the matter by a vote.
