said Mr.. Dawson. 81 am perfectly will
ing TO recommend that these voting
trusts be dissolved. The voting trusts,
as such have had no more 10 do with
the real management Of the business
than the Pujo committee
Mr.. Untermyer brought out that the
votes Of two of the three trustees Of
the Bankers and Guaranty companies
could dissolve the trusts, and that Mr..
Dawson was a trustee of each com
pany.
The lawyer placed in the record dOcu-
ments from the files of j. =. Morgan d
Co. and the New York Stock Ex-
change to show that in 1903, when the
voting trust agreement over the South
srn Railway was extended, 1900
shares OF the former voting trust GER
tificates that were not filed for the ex-
tension were stricken from the Stock
Exchange list.
MIR. Dawson said he was sure no
wrong was done 10 the minority hold
ers
Morgan & Co. Could Do No Wrong.
oh" observed Mr.. Untermyer, you
think that j. r. Morgan could do no
wrong
Il think" replied Mr.. Dawson, that
j. p. Morgan & Co. could do no wrong
If the circumstances permitted them to
do what they wanted 10 do. 1t is a
policy Of the house to protect minority
holders.
Mr. Dawson said he did not know the
circumstances Of the transaction and
he could not give the details.
Was that a defensible thing de-
manded Mr.. Cntermyer.
Il state that II was defensibie

Importance of Iowa Swine.

Iowa has more than fourteen per
cent. of all the swine in the United
States, and in value the amount more
than exceeds seventeen per cent.
Iowa's population is only two and a
quarter million, so that the people of
this state consume only small per
centage of the pork produced. At
the Iowa State Fair there has always
been great deal of attention paid to
swine, because of the fact that swine
are such an important factor in the
livestock business of the state, There
are more swine breeders and more
buyers in attendance at Iowa's state
fair than at any other fair or live
