Association of Iowa has just returned
from Denver. where he went as rep
resentatiye of the Iowa organization to
attend the meeting of the different
stockmen's associations Among the
matters of business transacted was the
appointment of an executive commit
tee and preliminary action in regard to
securing an amendment to the anti
trust laws and increasing the power of
the, national railroad commission. The
executive committee was formed by APP
pointing representative from each OF
the ten associations present at the

appointed representative, and may
not for the reason that while the cattle

ends to gain and in all cases these ends
do not coincide. The stock raisers of
the west are particularly interested In
obtaining reduction of railroad rates
In this the men OF the corn belt are
also interested. but most of their Ell
