Gov. McCreary will endeavor to
secure the appraised value of the
cattle that must be slaughtered in
this state. If the amount is reason
able, he will likely give assurance

The Secretary Of Agriculture
at Washington WAS very firm in re-
pudiatlng the suggestion Of Com
missioner J.LW Newman that-the
federal government should pay the
whole value Of the slaughtered cat
tie, according to a dispatch from
Washington. He said Kentucky
was the first state through a duly
authorized official. to suggest any
plan other than the alf-and-half
whereby the government and state
are each to supply equal portions
of the cattle redemption fund.

conceded should that unfortunate
condition arise"
The Secretary told Senator James
that lie would be dead against such
:, hill, and the Senator remarked
later that there was consequently no
Eope OF procuring the legislation
with the Secretary in that frame of
mind. Mr.. Houston said that he
considered the half and halls plan
satisfactory and that congress has
heretofore approved it. The Sec

the efficacy OF AN extra session Of
the legislature on the grounds that
it would take too long to accom-
plish the purpose desired. la this
connection, the Secretary in his tel
egram suggested that the matter can
be handled another way.
Governors of all states have
given assurance of reimbursement
by state, which has been accepted
by people," he teiegraphed. Can
Won not do this? On second thought
isis seems to be absolutely the only
solution"
