We recommend that this associa-
ton send a committee 10 Washington
which shall endeavor to have a speed
minimum clause added to the present
federal law (known as the "thirty-six-
hour" limit, which governs the ship
meut OF livestock and provides for
their humane treatment
We heartily commend the efforts OF
the American Humane association In
behalf OF legislation along these lines
and take this opportunity to express
our appreciation OF Dr VIM. o. Still
man. its worthy president. for his un-
firing efforts to secure the enactment
of humane legislation
We recommend that our committee
be instructed 10 cooperate with the
American Humane association in Sc
curing the enactment Of the "16-mile
speed limit" legislation recommended
by the association.
We further recommend that this
committee should also appear before
the Interstate Commerce commission
for the purpose of obtaining an equit-
able reduction of the minimum rate
on carload lots Of sheep and particu-
larly lambs, and also bringing before
that commission the fact that the
present freight rates on wool are ex-
cessiye and wholly out OF proportion
with the rates on other commodities
in carload lots.

Our industry having received the
recognition due its Importance in the
protection afforded it by the recently
enacted Payne-Aldrlch law, and fully
realizing that nothing so quickly de-
moralzes sheep husbandry as tariff
tinkering. we therefore strongly OPP
pose any attempt by any one whomso-
ever to amend schedule TX" We eX-
press our appreciation to all members
Of the United States senate and con-
gress who so earnestly worked for the
legislation so necessary to mako wool
growing with profit possible to the
nockmasters OF this nation And es-
pecially do we commend Hon. Theo-
dore Justice for his valuable assist
ance in bringing about this condition
We recommend that the National
Wool Growers association employ
every means within its power to en-
courage the future development of
the wool industry in the United
States. Production should be fostered
In all sections OF the country and the
industry natlonalized.
Nothing would do more to encour-
age the industry on range and farm
than TO impart a feeling of confidence
and certainty in our ability to protect
ourselves against unwise legislation
and adverse conditions.
The United States is the greatest
wool using market of the world. and
1t is therefore the duty of the Ma
tional Wool Growers association to
exert every possible effort to supply
the ever increasing demand of our
country's consumption of this staple
product,
