President of Livestock Asso.
citation Talks of Shippers
and Railways
WANTS PRESENT LAW ENFORCED
Says Shippers Must Assume the Duty
Of Seeing That They Are Enforced
Present Laws Adequate if Railways
Obey Them-International Associa-
ton Meeting at Denver.

Denver. Jan. 22.-President Murdo
Mackenzie's annual address was the
main feature of the opening session OF
the tenth annual convention of the
American National Livestock Associa-
ton, which reassembled here today.
The delegates were welcomed in a
felicitous address by Governor Buch-
tel
In his annual address President Nc
Kenzie referred to previous grievances
the stockmen had against the railroads,
saying one OF them was exorbitant
freight rates, had been corrected by
the passage of the rate bill, but the
only way shippers could derive any
benefit from the measure was to carry
their complaints of unjust rates to the
interstate commerce commission with
out delay. He told of efforts to have
amended the law which requires that
live stock in transit be unloaded for
feed and rest every twenty-four hours,
and said that only partial success was
had. Continuing Mackenzie said:
During 1906 there have been more
complaints of poor service by the rail-
roads than in any year in the past, and
unless something is done to compel
the railroads to give reasonable speed
limit to perishable goods in transit,
such as live stock, it will create such
a loss that ultimately the stockmen
will have to abandon the business
would suggest that all shippers who
are members of this association keep
a record of the rate Of speed made by
railroads of all shipments of stock in
transit, and wherever it is found
loss has been incurred thru failure on
the part of railroads to make reason
able time, suit should be instituted for
damage sustained by the shipper.
There is another question which
has forced itself upon our notice dur
ing the past year, and that is the abb
solute failure of many railroads to
supply cars for shipment of stock upon
proper notice.
"The bill is pending in congress, I
believe, that will give us necessary re-
lief The said bill penalties the rail-
roads for failure on their part to sup
ply cars upon receiving reasonable no.
tice, and also provides for penalty
of $25 per car per day for every day
in which railroads fail in this respect"
Mackenzie characterized the question
of administration of forest reserves as
one of the most important on which
the association should take action. A
cooperative live stock commission
organized by stockmen for
the purpose of fighting the advance
in commission rates, is a success, Mac
kenzie declared. He was confident it
would be of lasting benefit to stock
men. Mackenzie said he never expected
again to see a man in the agricultural
who would personally pay
so much attention to the live stock
interests of the west as did Secretary
Wilson.

rates are low to the Pacific coast, Den
YER people paying much more tnan
those at tide water. He stated that
jobbers are being forced to close up
their houses, because they are unable
to get into competition with other ter
ritories on an equal basis. similar
cases over the entire west are hinging
on the result of the Denver inquiry,
ana the decision here will govern 9TH

PROTECTION EQUAL
Santa Fe Railroad Does Not Pay For
improvements Not Contemplated
When Stock Was Purchased, Out OF
Its Earnings.

Topeka, Jan. 22.-The Santa Fe Rail-
way Company does not pay for I'M
movements on the system, which DO
not come under the head of mainten-
ance. from it's earnings, but issues ad-
ditional stocks and bonds to pay the
bills, according to the statement OF j..
%. Hurley, general manager of the
system. Hurley appeared before the
state board of railroad commissioners
yesterday to explain the proposed is
sue of $9S,OOO,OOO in bonds or stock.
He said that this plan was followed to
equalize protection to the bond and
stockholders. The stockholder is en-
titled to the money he has invested,
and it is not proper for the company
to take funds from its earnings to pay
for additional improvements, which
were not contemplated when stock was
purchased.

He declared that he recognized the
force and wisdom Of the movement to
bring the election of senators more
nearly to the people by primary law
such as that indorsed by all parties In
Iowa. But he said that in Iowa the
old system had worked fairly we'll. The
forefathers had supposed the legisla-
tors would be elected by the people and
the legislators would then elect sena-
tors; and they could not have foreseen
a time when, as in western state. the
legislators were financed by one In
dividual and they had been to register
their votes for him.
while in Iowa for fifty years we
have had the old system working we'll, "
he said, "yet think that everybody Is

of senators from the capitol to the
townships, where it rightly belongs"
The senator declared he had not tried
to influence the election or defeat OF
any member Of the legislature in his
own interest, nor had he used money
or in other Objectionable ways sought
to secure his election, but had relied
on the good will of the republicans of
Iowa.
In conclusion he wished for the Sem
bers of the assembly fruitful session
and for Governor Cummins and those
associated with him in the government
of Iowa he desired the most abundant
success.
During the4caucus Emory H. English
