We were branded as anarchists by
some of our members of congress and
others holding political offices, but we
rejoice to say that all these questions
received national consideration n
had public approval and congratulate
the association for it's success and
for having been a forerunner in these
reform movements. We declare our
appreciation of the accomplishments
of President Roosevelt in the inter-
ests of the people in the favor of good
government and sound principles"
The resolutions urge:
That the Interstate commerce COM
mission be given absolute power to
regulate transportation companies do
ing an interstate business.
That the government make its in
spection Of meats and packing
houses even more rigid and that the
expenses Of such inspection be borne
entirely by the government.
That James Wilson be commended
for his wise administration of the de-
partment of agriculture.
That efforts be made to cur the
enactment of the Doran speed limit
bill by the next legislature.
That the president OF the United
States be empowered to make such
reciprocity treaties as will be bene-

That a nonpartisan commission be
appointed to investigate the tariff with
