To Cancel Incorporation
At the opening Of the meeting,
which VAS attended by the full board
Of control and President klug as mem
Der eN-ot'icio, the board members
crossed swords with Mr. Klug over
the matter Of retaining the associa-
lions name. Sir. klug at first refused
point blank 10 sign petition 10 the
secretary OF state for the anullment
Of the grant OF incorporation papers
to the Colorado Stockgrowers' Asso-
clation,' with klug. Houts, Good and
others as sclf-constitutcd directors.
He finally agreed to sign the paper,
however, nd when the signatures of
Mr.. HOuts and one or two other "di-
rectors" are secured the petition will
be presented TO the secretary OF state
and II IL believed that official will act
promptly in canceling the incorpora-
ton certificate.
Those present at yesterdays meet
ems, Field Bohart and Frank Squier as
members Of the board of control, and
{. J. farr, of Flaglcr. J. c. Temple, of
Hayden, Il. c. Callen. of Silt. A. II.
Webster, Of Monte Vista, and W. A.
Snyder, OF Denver. There was a
gOodly measure Of plain talk" on the
i
klug was confronted with many spe-
cine facts which the board of control
regarded as of I nature to unfit him
10 continue as president of the state
body.
klug Says He Will Stick
AltLo Nh. klug acqiesed in the call
Of the meeting OF the executive COM
mittee, he declares it TO be his inten-
tIon to retain the presidency of the
association no matter what the action
of the executive committee might be.
He asserted his belief that the associa-
tlon's affairs were in splendid shape,
and that if everybody would cooper
ate with him the organization would
make splendid progress.
Lack of interest thruout the state on
the part of member associations was
evidenced by the report of the secre-
tary OF the association that funds were
virtually exhausted. Five of the
stockmen present contributed S25 each
to the association as a loan to pay the
secretary's salary ond the Office rent.
The date of the special meeting of
the executive committee will be de-
termined by the assembling of the
State Board of Stock Inspection Com
missioners IN Denver next month.
Under pending plans to hold a joint
meeting with the New Mexico board,
the Colorado board may not meet here
until late in August. August 81, it
is suggested, may be selected as the
date of the executive committee meet
ing.
