also asked whether this state could

character Of interstate rates and val
nations against Nevada producers and
consumers. or whether IL would be con-
fined to the findings II the federal

condition Of the association to be
healthy. Cne Of the great achieve
ments of the association. In his opinion.
he said. was that a cooperative agree
ment with the Southern Pacific railroad
whereby the railway stock car service
was greatly improved. lie said that In
1919 hundreds of thousands OF dollars
were lost to the livestock raisers by
the fact that when they brought their
stock eff the grass ranges to the rail
road they were unable to procure cars
for shipment. by the agreement reach
ed 30 stock cars could be sent through
en- the main line each day during the
shipping season and the stockmen were
allowed to book orders for cars up to
that amount. This lie considered
great benefit and he said that after the
agreement had been reached subsequent
TO the enormous loss In 1919 and dur
ing the year 1929 ,le did not know of
a single complaint from this source
on the part of a shipper lie said that
the association hoped to make n SINH
lar agreement for next year with the
Western Pacific. He referred TO agree
ments with the officers of the several
national forest reserves in Nevada by
which advantageous rules had been
adopted TO meet the peculiar condi-
tions under which livestock must be
operated In the different sections OF
Nevada. He said the state association
had adopted n policy of dscoura ging
the establishment of game preserves
10 the extent of suggesting TO the
governor that before any pieeemeal
Withdrawals were made some definite
policy be agreed Upon which will pre-
vent too large Withdrawals In any
particular section of the state. which
might result In one or q few localities
having to stand the burden of raising
game for the entire state. he took the
position that every acre turned over
TO the raising OF game means an acre
lost to the production of livestock,
which loss not only falls on the stock
man but makes that mucn less taxable
property In the state and just that
much less business for the business
men In tn, state.
