For Rigid Inspection.
We, the Nebraska Stock Growers associa-
ton, in a regular meeting assembled, recog-
ntzing the great injury and damage that
reason of the investigation and reports Of
the conditions surrounding the packing
! house products and the sanitary conditions
/ of the packing houses of Chicago, and
| realizing that speedy action is necessary II
! further damage is TO he avcrted hereby
| urge our national congress and especially
the Nebraska members thereof to pass suCn
! legislation as will improve and strengthen
government inspection of all packing house
| meat products and that will prescribe and
| enforce such sanitary regulations for pack
! ing houses as will leave no room for criti-
! cism of their methods.
| We as cattle growers recommend the
pending Beveridge bill be carefully consd-
! cred and revised before being enacted into
/ law. We as stock growers especially OBJ
ject to that provision of the bill which
would levy the cost of animal and meat in
spection upon the packers. Government in
| spectiOn of food products is for the pro-
/ lection of the whole nation and the cost
should fall equally upon all VINO are bene-
hted. The cost as provided i'm the Bever-
idge bill will eventually fall upon the live
stock growers and permit more tribute to
be levied upon an industry already de-
pressed Therefore be II
| Resolved, That a copy of these resolu-
tions be forwarded 70 the senators and rep
resentatives in congress In Nebraska.
