The committee appointed by Presi-
lent Hagenbarth, of the National
livestock Association, to prepare de-
ails OF a plan for a reorganization
Il the association at the Denver meet
ng. week of january 9. have devel-
oped a plan. which will be presented
% the convention. 1t provides for a
radical change from the present or
ganization.
AS it is desirable that the new or
ganization should be actually and lit
orally national in scope, it is proposed
TO base the organization upon the
various branches or interests of the
Industry, regarding each branch as a
unit, and the representation of each
branch will be regarded as represent
ing the whole of that branch or inter-
est.
The primal representation OF each
branch will be through a committee
to be selected by those interested in
that branch. This committee will be
known as the general committee" of
the branch selecting it. II will be Sc
iected and organized as those inter-
ested may determine. Each of these
general committees will have full
authority to represent the branch or
interest appointing it, but its execu-
tive authority will be confined to mat
ters relating to its own branch OF the
industry.
The sole executive authority of the
National association will be confined
TO an executive committee consisting
of one man from each branch of the
Industry. This committee will be
known as the central committee, q"
and each central committee will select
one of its members to represent its
branch or interest on the central
committee.
By this method each branch of the
industry will have a general commit
tee and one representative on The
central committee. The genera. COM
mittee has only authority as regards
Its own branch, and speakr to the
other branches through Its members
of the central committee.
Delegate Conventions are dispensed
with. and in Mace there will be an
nuai meetings. e. which all the gem
eral commits 1heet in joint session
to hear rsppr4 Of officers and make

h making the rounds of the state,
getting out rural route catalogues
containing names of all patrons OF
the several routes and ADVERTISE
ments OF the home mcrcha nts, is
selling the list of names TO the big
department stores at Chicago, and
that the rural route patrons are
often deceived into the belle that
they can buy cheaper from
Chicago than they can at home.

home merchant to advertise, make
