In the resolutions passed many of
the vital questions before the country
were touched upon in a vigorous way
The resolutions indorse President
Roosevelt's plan Of rate regulation as
expressed in the Dolliver bill While
not specifically indorsing the primary
law the resolution says:
Resolved That we favor the enact
ment of a law by the present Iowa
legislature which will place the NOM
ination as we'll as the election Of all
our lawmakers, state and national and
all our officers in the hands Of the in
dependent voter"
Congress is asked to make sufficient
appropriation for inspection of meats,
as requested by Secretary Wilson. The
law which requires that stock be UNI
loaeIed after being aboard cars twenty
eight hours is condemned and congress
asked to extend the limit to thirty
six hours. The advance in commission
charges by firm in Missouri river mar
kets is denounced. Other resolutions
are as follows:
iNCSOlNCup L uSil we ucHIduu VI luS
Iowa legislature now in session the en-
actrnent of stringent anti-pass law.
Resolved, That we indorse all Of
the recommendations made by Presi-
denl. Ames in his annual address and
the directors are requested to adopt
them.
Resolved. We deem it absolutely
necessary to the agriculture of the
country that we should enlarge our
foreign market for meat products by
reciprocity or otherwise. and we de-
mand that our representatives in con-
gress take immediate action in this
matter.
Resolved, That the legislature Of
the state of Iowa now in session should
enact law which will give to the
farmers, feeders, packers, jobbers and
all business men reasonable freight
rates where the freight is handled by
more than one road. We should have
a joint rate similar to the one now
in force in Minnesota, and which has
stood the test of the highest courts
Resolved. That the legislature Of
Iowa. now in session, should pass a
stringent pure food law.
"F.esolved. That we are earnestly In
favor of properly drawn bill for the
establishment of a mandatory OF
binding Irvine in the state prison at
Anamosa."
The question of utilization with the
American National Live Stock Assoc
citation was debated at some length,
but was voted unanimously. When
it came to the question of raising
more funds to prosecute the work of
the association, as presented by Pres
ident Ames some debate followed, but
all we're in favor of increasing their
resources. The delegates from the
various associations pledged in mem
berships altogether enough to bring
to the association $4,000.
