It may be well at this point to turn aside from my line of remark to say that there is now a bill before this House (House bill No. 890. reported by the gentleman from Missouri. Mr. HATCH) upon which I hope favorable action may be had in connection with the bill under consideration. which. to my mind. is of more vital importance to the country than the proposed revision of the tariff. the legislation for the control of interstate commerce. or the suspension of Chinese immigration. I refer to the bill creating a bureau of animal industry. the object of which is to protect the livestock growers of America from the contagions which are a constant menace to their industry and to the entire wealth of the country founded upon stockgrowing. I would prefer a more radical and farreaching measure than the bill reported by the committee. a measure as effective as House bill No. 5817 which I had the honor to prepare and introduce.
