 Committee 



Mr. L. R. Pike, Harrison County: Mr. President. I make a 

 motion that we have a rising vote upon this part of the resolution. 

 Mr. J. P. Mullen, Pocahontas County : I second the motion. 

 Mr. President : Gentlemen, you have heard the report of the. 

 Committee on Resolutions with reference to Mr. O. A. Olsen. All 

 those in favor, please rise to your feet. It is unanimously carried. 

 Mr. L. R. Pike: Mr. President, your Committee on Resolu- 

 tions beg to submit the following also : 



BE IT RESOLVED that it is the sense of the Convention that the Legis- 

 lative Committee be instructed to present an amendment to the present 

 law providing all county and district fairs of the state who shall hereafter 

 apply for state aid according to law, shall be represented by a duly 

 authorized representative at the annual meeting of the State Board of 

 Agriculture, and that funds allowed upon application for state aid shall 

 not be paid until December 15th of each year. 



Respectfully submitted, 

 L. R. Pike, 

 H. O. Weaver, 

 Ed T. Austin. 



Mr. L. R. Pike: I will move the adoption of the resolution. 



Mr. W. H. Shipman, Muscatine County: I second the motion. 



Mr. J. O. Lauer, Bremer County: I see by Mr. Corey's report 

 there are just twenty fairs represented here this afternoon. I 

 have told a great many of the fair men of the attitude taken by 

 some fair secretaries and I hope legislation may be enacted to 

 compel attendance at this meeting of all fairs receiving state aid, 

 and that state aid not be paid until after this meeting. That 

 would postpone payments somewhat, but at the longest it would 

 not be more than three months. 



Mr. E. J. Curtin, Winneshiek County: This meeting comes 

 the second week in December, and that would postpone the mail- 

 •ing of these checks until after the holidays, with the result that 

 we would not get our money until about the middle of January. 

 Why not make that provide for the sending out of the state aid 

 immediately after the meeting? Say December 15th.
