Disease Eradicated
Resolved that we commend the I'M
firing ell orts Of the Federal Bureau
Of Animal Industry for its ccopera-
tiou with the State Board OF Sheep
Commissioners In the eradication of
support. and
Be 1t further resolved that We re-
commend to the State Board of Sheep
Commissioners that 1t insist upon the
enforcement Of the law relating to
dipping and the eradication Of the
disease known as Scabies. and
Be 1t further resolved that we
recommend that sufficient funds be
placed at the disposal of the State
Board of Sheep Commissioners for
the year 1924 for the purpose of the
eradication Of ticks and diseases, as
we feel that unless this work is con-
tinued curing the year 1924, the
crs' in the year 1925 and the years
to follow will be- materially increased.
Assessed Valuations Of Land
Resolved that we recommend that
tho assessed valuation OF the grazing
lands be reduced as they have been
assessed disproportionately high as
compared with other classes OF
property and the earning power of
said lands.
Grazing Lands
Whereas grazing upon the Nation
al Forests now produce a revenue
to the Federal Government amount
ing to two million dollars per an
mum in excess OF all expenses con-
nected with grazing administration
Of the forest. and
Whereas the idea Of commercial
izing the grazing Of the National
Forest Is based on wholly inadequate
and ERRONEOUS conception of the re-
lation of the livestock industry to the
country rs a whole. and Is entirely
unprecedented In principal. and con-
trary to the principles Of our gov
eminent. and
Whereas we consider that 1t Is very
unfortunate and unnecessary that
this question shall have been agitated
over 50 long a period Of years.
Now. therefore. be 1t resolved that
we consider the plan of commercial
isinE the National forests As unwise,
unjust and injurious to the livestock
industry. and
Be It further resolved that we
earnestly request the Secretary Of
Agriculture and the Forest Service
to continue the administration OF
grazing along the same lines Of gen.
eral broad policies As has been ap-
proved as fair by the stock growing
interests.
Predatory Animals
Resolved that we commend the
work Of the Biological Survey In the
destruction Of predatory wild animals
and
BE Il further resolved that we re-
spectfully urge our delegation In
Congress to secure liberal appropria-
lions to enable the Biological Survey
to increase the working force and
thereby enable It to exterminate pred
atory animals more rapidly.
Truth In Fabric Bill
Resolved hat we commend the
honest the sale OF manufactured
goods under tho trade names OF all
WOOL and pure WOOL" which goods
are manufactured from reworked
wool commonly known as shoddy.
And be II further resolved that

double their efforts to secure the
early passage OF said bill.
