The Albany County Wool Growers

station and the State University to es-
tablish a pathological and bacteria.
logical department with an adequate
laboratory, both for instruction and for
the investigation Of the diseases and
sanitation of human beings and live
stock.
To Define Powers of Board.
2. Realizing, a We do, the value OF
definite, u%nquestioned and ineligible
regulation, we desire to impress upon
the coming State Legislature the i'm,
portance Of passing an act which will
with c%learness and precision define
the powers of the state board of sheep
commissioners.
8. We petition the congress for the
enactment of a law which shall compel
interstate railroads to transport live
stock between feeding points at a
speed of not less than twenty miles an
hour.
Commends Tariff on Wool and Hides.
4. We assert that wool and hides
are the finished products of our great
live stock industry and that the pro,
ducers thereof, so far from being no.
MAIDS, are without exception residents
and taxpayers of the state and have
made themselves homes in the desert
with the permanency of the said indus
try in view. We, therefore, commend
the present tariff rates on wool and
hides, and %depreciate any attempt to al
ter or modify them.
Federal Control Should Cease.
5. Whereas, the federal admins
tration of the public lands has for
many years been unintelligent, unin-
telligible and hostile to public and pri,
vate interest; we hereby resolve that
this association will heartily support
any plan whatever that will remove
the remaining public lands or any
part thereof from the federal control.
MondelI Bill Endorsed.
6. We accordingly endorse the bill
introduced by Congressman Frank
Mondell providing for the sale of gov
eminent lands within the limits of the
railroad land grants.
Protest Against Pinchot Policies.
Z. Approving as We do any sincere
measure adapted to preserve the for
ests Of the west, we here record our
