' ' • Mention Thie Review when you write. _^^ 



Officers, who otherwise might have been 

 slow in hearing of the matters. I per- 

 sonally followed these notices with cor- 

 respondence with each member, urging 

 the desirability of uniform laws and 

 suggesting the substitution of the Bos- 

 ton bill if legislation could not be 

 avoided. 



"Bills were introduced in fourteen 

 states during the last winter, only 

 'ibout five of which became laws, in- 

 • luding the New York state law, which 

 I understand has practically passed 

 both houses. Some of these were com- 

 >»aratively harmless, but all were intro- 

 'luced by men not familiar with the 

 requirements of the seed trade, and for 

 that very reason would, if enacted into 

 laws, fail to meet the very conditions 

 they were designed to cover, while the 

 so-called Boston bill was carefully 

 thought out in every detail, our counsel 

 and some of our most experienced and 

 interested members having given their 

 time and study to many of its pro- 

 visions! On the other hand, its pro- 

 visions were agreed to by the very men 

 in whose hands the protection of the 

 .J)eople lay. r,,.^ t 



'^AJ t^^^^^ TffiifQxm Laws., 



"Doubtless the uniform law might 



be more acceptable with some slight 

 changes, but, considering that bills of- 

 fered in some of the states would prac- 

 tically put the seedsmen out of business, 

 if enacted into laws, we can welcome 

 this proposed uniform law as being one 

 that we can comply with as honorable 

 business men, without jeopardizing our 

 business or disturbing our conscience!. 

 I therefore wish to urge upon our mem- 

 bership that every effort be made, 

 where legislation can not be avoided, to 

 see that we have such legislation as 

 will eventually become uniform through- 

 out the various states and that will be 

 along the line of the Boston bill. If 

 bills are introduced, offer this as a sub- 

 stitute and see that the lawmakers are 

 supplied with copies. 



"It looked at one time as though our 

 busy national legislators would have 

 their hands so full that such a minor 

 thing as national seed legislation would 

 be overlooked. If pure food laws have 

 been good, then pure seed laws should 

 be equally good, and just as easy to 

 comply with, in the opinion of some, 

 even if one does represent an entirely 

 manufactured article and the other is 

 one of nature's products. Congressman 

 James R. Mann, whose bills have been 

 before us at other times, prepared a 



draft of a bill that was printed by con- 

 gress, and then, ac.cording to promise, 

 submitted to Mr. QreeD, chairnum of 

 Our legislative committee, for his criti- 

 cism. Some of its provisions were such 

 that it seemed best to call the legisla- 

 tive committee together for consulta- 

 tion. This was done, the committee and 

 some others meeting in Chicago, at La 

 Salle hotel, February 9, 1910. The work 

 done there was only secondary in im- 

 portance to that accomplished at the 

 Boston meeting, and will be fully re- 

 ported by Mr. Green. 



' ' Those of you who have followed the 

 work of these committees during the 

 last year will readily see the amount of 

 time and thought that has been ex- 

 pended in the work for the trade in 

 general, but more especially for the 

 association, and your thanks are surely 

 due these gentlemen." 



Speaking of the tariff, President Rob- 

 inson expressed the trade's satisfaction 

 with the principle of specific duties em- 

 bodied in the present law. 



The Association's Attorney. 



"At our last annual convention, re- 

 sponding to a strong demand of circum- 

 stances amounting to a necessity, this 

 association employed counsel from April 

 J, 1909, to July 1, 1910. It is hardly 

 necessary to repeat what those circum- 

 stances were, because not only the offi- 

 cers of our association but also indi- 

 vidual members were more or less justly 

 alarmed by the wave of so-called pure 

 g|i^_ legislation which was sweeping 

 niMilgh the4©|Milative halls of tha vari- 

 ous states. So many of these"^eei bills 

 appeared unreasonable, and showed
