present time 10 to 10 per cent more
han we consume
"Hence a market must be provided
for this excess. In other words, IL we
are not permitted to offer this surplus
on equitable terms to continental Eu-
rope the meat producers of this coun-
try will suffer from an over-supplied
market and the transmississippi dis
trict will bear the principal burden OF
this condition.
Government Inspection
Our present government inspection
of meats and meat products, which is
we'll known in all parts of the world,
shoMld cause such products to be
sought by the people of all meat-eat-
ing countries of Europe. All the live
stock producers ask is an opportunity
to offer those people their surplus on
: equal terms with the remainder OF the
world.
Our agricultural department has ac-
complished much in the improvements
it has brought about In the livestock
business. To reap the real benefit.
however of all this marked improve
meat, we must have adequate laws
looking to the introduction of our live
stock on the hoof into continental Eu-
rope, and not until 1t is accomplished
will we, the livestock producers of this
country in general, and the transmits
sissippi district IN particular, receive a
fair price for our products.
with special efforts along the. live
stock producing line, the number of an
imals produced in the United States
can be doubled; in fact, this country
can produce sufficient meat to, feed
three times the population of the Unit
ed States IL proper encouragement is
given to this particular line of busi-
ness.
Demand Recognition

transmississippi district will demand,
during the next session of congress,

In the tariff revision which will be un-
dertaken in the sixtieth congress, and
from this time the livestock interests
not only of the transmississippi dis
trict but of the entire United States
will demand equal consideration with
all other interests of like Importance
in reciprocal measures adopted by the
United States, and l sincerely trust
this organization will impress upon
those who represent them in congress
the Importance and necessity of proper
consideration for this great industry.
1t, is second to none in the United
States in point of Importance, because
1t represents one of the prime articles
of food products

who spoke in practical terms of the
merchant marine and it's shortcomings.
