were keeping out Of Idaho, how
ever, the scrip interests based
on the worthless lands of other
states were getting in so that
when the recent forest reserves
extensions occurred within our
borders, the scrip, timber and
stock interests had already Sc
cured control Of almost every
stream now in the forest reserves
which is capable of floating a
sawlog, thus securing to those
interests very cheap stumpage at
their own time and practically
without competition. The gov
ernment now protects these in
terests by keeping fires down,
and all but the favored livestock
are excluded from the reserve.
Moreover, the legal steps looking
to patent of scrip land, | am in
formed, are suspended by the
forest reserve act itself, thus de-
nying to the state a vast taxable
resource, and still permitting a
tentative ownership to the scrip
holder. 1t has also suspended
the common schools interests in
sections 16 and 36 without grant
ing it the common privilege ac-
corded other holdings in forest
feserves-the act Of retaining the
valuable subdivisions of lands
and making lieu selections for the
worthless ones.
"Not only the states interest
in sections 16 and 36 is excluded
from the reserve, but also all OF
the governments applications fol
surveys which fall within then
boundaries, and out of which il
was proposed to make selections
for the various educational anC
other state institutions. This ex.
clusion of the states interest has
been done Notwithstanding two
appropriations by the state, tC
the amount of $50, 900, to cover
the expense Of making such sur
veys, and moreover, the expendi
ture of much larger sums in con
J structing wagon roads to open VI
these prospective resources of the
state. To be cut off from these
selections now would certainl!
work a hardship on our taxpayers
Another serious feature O.
