lambs are months old they are worth
about 81 per head. Placing them at

because we do not market lambs IN
Texas like is done in other parts Of

A Great Industry in Texas

and Goat Raisers and the Central Wool
Storage association at San Angelo.
against removing the tariff on wool and
mohair. submitted to the ways and
means committee by Claude Hudspeth
OF Ell PasO. was as follows:
In behalf Of the Texas Sheep and
Goat Raisers' association and in pursu-
ance of resolutions thereof adopted
unanimously at a meeting held in the
city of San Antonio, March q. 1911, we
most strenuously oppose the removal
OF the tariff on wool and mohair, and
also the placing Of meats upon the
free list, as by doing the latter would
reduce greatly the price of our NUT

list and the tariff removed from wool.
the sheep business. an industry second
only to the production Of cotton in the
United States, would be utterly de-
stroyed, not only in Texas, but
throughout the entire United States,
and we do not think the statement
will be questioned when we state that
Texas can produce cheaper wool than
any other state in the union: yet the
business in Texas will ultimately per-
ish from the face of the earth, as was
amply demonstrated during the period

HUDsPETH PRESENTS STRONG PROTEST
AGAINST REMOVAL Of TARIFF On WOOL

1894 to 1897, when sneep decreased in

And, mind you, as far as my recollec-
ton goes, the price of clothing re-
manned the same as it was under

free wool advocates to the contrary
Notwithstanding.
Not a Selfish Spirit.
against free wool we do not wish the
impression to go abroad that Texas
is exhibiting e narrow, selfish spirit,
but being loyal to and a part of the
union, legislation inimical to Texas is,
usually detrimental to the entire union;
and with that broad, generous spirit
that permeates the heart and governs
the mind and thought of every true
Texan, we declare taht the removal of
the tariff on wool would ultimately de-
stroy this great industry throughout
the broad confines Of the United
States; for, as is fully attested by the
numerous statements from practical,
and in many instances lifelong, sheep
men in Texas, as herein set forth, the
cost of producing wool in Texas is
from 81 to s1.25 per head per annum
while the sworn statements of every
sheep grower at the hearing on the
Payne AIdrich tariff bill 19OS-19O9
was that in every other state outside
Of Texas it cost TO produce wool diff
ferent sums, ranging from the mini
mum of S1-25 per head per animal to
the maximum of SO per head per an
mum. Therefore, we say 10 you thai

chuckle up their sleeves and say why
is this? Under protective tariff Of
II cents a pound your wool brought
one cent less per pound than the tariff
levied Now the answer to that il
this: The tariff levied is II cents
specific on imported wool in the grease.
This would mean 33 percent on scour-
ed and A cents compensatory on the
manufactured cloth Now, in many in
stances, as to foreign woods. it does
not amount to more than cents per
pound specific to the producer in the
United States, and in many instances
nothing Why? For the reason that
the woods Of the United States shrink
SIS 2-3 percent. while that OF foreign
woods only SO Is percent, or one-half
that OF this country. and in many in
stances South American woods shrink
as low at II and Is percent So in
stead of the producer in the United
States getting the benefit Of a 11-cent
duty, he in reality gets 51z percent,
and in many Instances I and 2 percent,
and in many other absolutely nothing

sheep in Australia, and can figure out
the amount of tariff TO be levied very
readily It may not amount to as
much as the II cents specific If not
the sheep men of Texasawould stand
the reduction, while I doubt seriously
that the sheepmen Of other parts Of
the union could maintain their industry
on less than II cents specific duty
And the sheepmen of Texas most earn
estiy urge that If a reduction is made
in the duty on wool that 1t be made
on the specific basis, and not ed valor-
EN-. for the reason that it would be
very uncertain from year to year what
the tariff would be based upon, for
the ad valorem basis would be fixed
upon the market value in London. and
when wool was lowest in London we
would most needssaS tariff. and when
the prices were higher In London we
would least need same. And again,
evry opportunity would be sought to
impose upon the appraiser by designat-
ing fine wool as medium and medium
as coarse, which system works ma
teriaIly to the detriment OF the pro-
iucer in this country.
Now. the question will doubtless be
asked. Why can England produce wool
on a free trade basis when the United
atates cannot? The answer is that
England runs her sheep loose. Most
Of her woels are coarse. She raises
sheep mostly for mutton, and England
has not produced a pound of merino
wool in 40 years. The market price of
mutton in England is about twice that
of the United States. Her sheep ma
ture quicker and grow larger. The
average price of a nine months old
lamb in England is about So per head.
In parts of the United States, where
they mature them and sell them that
early. It is about So or $3.50. The
supply Of mutton in England nothing
like EQUALS the demand In Texas the
lambs are not sold for slaughter, except
in the rarest Of Instances Mutton
sheep do not mature in Texas suffi
Gent to go to the slaughter pens until
they are three years DID, When lambs
from Texas go to market at all, 1t is
from the feed pens, after a heavy feed
bill has been incurred. The wolf is
not found in England to destroy sheep
like he is found in large numbers in
Texas and other portions of the United
States There being no herder to pay
and feed in England. the cost of hand
ling sheep Is about one-third, or at
least one-half of that of the United
States.
1.-THE above reasons clearly. to my
mind. answer why we cannot raise
sheen under free wool along with Eng
land It is we'll known fact that
Australia 1evies a duty on imported
wool along with the Argentine repub-
lie. yet we are asked to open our
ports to wool produced by pauper Ia
Dor in those countries.
Can the sheep business survive un-
der free wool in Texas? We answer.
no: and as a practical sheep grower
of Is years experience In Texas. I
submit the following itemized state
ment, which is absolutely the very
lowest cost at which wool can be pro-
duced in my state. This I consider
a very conservative estimate, and I
appended hereto kilograms from cred
liable men, showing that 1T costs. in
