Whereas, there has been the indis-
criminate shipping and slaughtering of
live stock in many portions of the West
ern Slope of Colorado. and
Whereas, this wrong has been great
ly encouraged by the inadequacy of the
inspection force in looking after many
localities, and,
Whereas. continuation of these con-
ditions is inimical to the live stock in
dustry, now therefore,
Be it resolved by The Delta County
Live Stock Association. in convention
assembled. that we implore the State
Board of Stock Inspection Commission
that they devise means by which our
crew of inspectors may be increased,
thereby giving a much needed relief to
many localities now suffering for want
of proper inspection of live stock and
hides, and
Resolved, that copy of these reso
lutions be sent TO the State Board of
Stock Inspection Commission.
Whereas, we, the members of The
Delta County Live Stock Association.
have for the last several years, lived in
the double experience of grazing in an
uncontrolled open range and in a con-
trolled forest reserve range. and
Whereas. we have, by our sturdy CO.
operation with the supervisors of for
est reserve ranges. established that in
separable business relation which has
created the revival of prosperous era
in our industry, and
Whereas, we believe in the present
forest reserve administration of our
near future solution of the range prob
lens on the uncontrolled public range,
now therefore,
Be it resolved, by The Delta County
Live Stock Association in convention
assembled, that we reiterate our strong
belief in the substantial doctrine of a
wisely arranged governmental law of
control of our public ranges. and
Resolved, that copies of these reso-
lutions be sent to our representatives
in the Senate and Congress of the
United States.

their resolutions in regard to the recent
tariff law, the Inter. state Commerce
Commission. aud the public lands ques-
ton, and
Resolved, that we continue our sup
port of this great parent organization
as an indispensable influence in the up
building of the live stock industry in
the United States.
Whereas. The Colorado Cattle and
Horse Growers Association. now called
the Colorado Stock Growers Associa-
ton, is an avowed enemy of the CO.
operative administration of the forest
reserve ranges by the Fosest Service
and the stock growers, and also the
policy of wisely arranged law of con-
troll of all our public grazing resources,
and
Whereas, by the introduction of parti-
san politics into the workings of the
old organization, thereby destroying its
usefulness as live stock association,
and
Whereas, it became absolutely neces-
sary that the stock growers Of Colorado
organize an association endowed with
the fixed purpose of working at all
times and in all places for the upbuild-
ing Of the live stock industry in the
state, and
Whereas, being confronted by this
necessity and in pursuance of their
sacred purpose, some of the Colorado
stock growers, did, on the thirteenth
day of January, 1910. in the city OF
Denver, organize The Colorado Live
Stock Association, now therefore,
