Under the existing law it is wholly impossible to secure satisfactory results.
Let me repeat that under the present law there is practically no method of stopping these abuses if they should be discovered to exist.
A law is needed which will enable the inspectors of the general Government to inspect and supervise from the hoof to the can the preparation...
In my judgment the expense of the inspection should be paid by a fee levied on each animal slaughtered.
