not paid but because the law that
prohibits driving and pasturing OF
livestock on the reserve without a
permit is violated.
Now the stockmen of Colorado
who do not believe that a fee is
authorized by law wanted to test
the matter in the courts but the
Forestry Bureau instead of admit.
ting that there might be some
doubt on the subject placed itself
in the attitude of threatening the
stockmen with all sorts of pun
ishment and disaster, in the pres
ent and in the future, if they took
any steps to test the matter in the
courts. A special United States
Attorney went so far, a few days
ago, as to threaten the stockmen
with prosecution for conspiracy if
they continued to agitate the
question. Think of that in a
free country! Citizens threatened
with arrest, punishment and i'm
prisonment department to tax
them when Congress has never
given the Department specific au-
thority to do it.
Now the question as to whether
it is proper to provide for a graz
ing fee is an open one with argu-
ments on both sides. Personally
| all inclined to think that if it is
lawful it may, under certain con-
ditions, be entirely proper to do
so, and 1 told Mr.. Pinchot at the
time | opposed his legislation, two
years ago, that if he would wait
until the matter could be discus
sed by my people at home l might
not object to a reasonable charge.
The question the stockmen desire
to have settled is whether a charge
is, at this time, legal and lawful
and surely the people who have to
pay that charge have a right to
know. And when a Bureau of
this great government threatens
men for attempting to test that or
any Legitimate question things r
in a bad way.
In this forest reserve matter |
am not in sympathy or harmony
with anybody that takes an arbi-
trary stand. 1 appreciate the fact
that stockmen are at times, some
of them, unfair and very insistent;
that some complaints are made
against the Forest Service that
have not much foundation, but ]
do know that there is much legiti-
mate and proper criticism of the
administration of the reserves, and
L believe that nothing but con-
slant criticism, fair and ISL
able, will keep the Service any
where within reasonable bounds.
Very truly yours,

RANGE LEASING
Some very sound logic from the
pen of Hon. F. W. MOndeIl
on this Matter.

OOi. u. L. STdWlOTu.
Saratoga, Wyoming.
My dear Colonel:
1 have read your letter of April
8 carefully and with intrest.
l do not believe there can be
too much discussion of the sub
ject of the use of the range if
people really desire and insist up
on a change of methods. 1t is
true that there has been altoga-
Their to much misinformation Civ
en- out on the subject and it looks
very much to me as though in GER
tain quarters the effort were to
muddy the waters;" to becloud
rather then clarity the real issues
which are:
|. Shall we continue the use of
the range practically as at pre-
sent? or
2. Shall we inaugurate a leas-
ing system under state or federal
control under which individuals
may lease definite areas and pay
for the same by the acre? or
3. Shall we turn over to the
Secretary of Agriculture absolute
control over the public lands with
authority to say who, when and
how they shall be utilized? In
other words apply, as suggested in
President Roosevelt's land mes
sage, the plan of range control
now in vogue in. the forest re-
serves to all Of the public domain?
The two last named plans are
entirely incompatible one with
the other, but some of the breth-
rem insist on confusing the range
control system advocated by the
Department of Agriculture with a
leasing system. The two are en-
tirely dissimilar.
I do not fully understand the
local forest serv troubles to
which you refer in your letter but
my position in regard to these
matters is that 1 shall not allow
the fact that l am favorable to a
proper, fair and reasonable nation
al forest reserve policy to deter
me from very plain spoken criti-
cism of the overbearing indiffer-
ence to the rights of individuals
and communities and general
highhandedness which character
ize, in some localities at least, cer-
tain features of the forestry pol
icy.
Eternal Vigilance is the Price
of Liberty and eternal kicking
seems to be the only way in which
a government bureaucracy a be
kept anywhere neal fair and SEN
sible. If it had not been for the
criticism in Congress last winter
we would not have had some of
the reforms which are taking
place in some localities and it is
very apparent to me that the gen.
tlemen of the Forest Service need
considerable more prodding up.
AS illustrating the disposition
of the Forest Service to browbeat
and bulldoze let me remind you of
what has been taking place in Col
orado among stockmen who OBJ
ject to paying the grazing fee.
1t was my privilege, on two diff.
ferent occasions, to prevent the
passage of Legislation desired by
Mr.. Pinchot authorizing a grazing
fee. When he was unable to Sc
cure such legislation he succeeded
in getting an opinion from Attor-
ney General Moody to the effect
that the Statutes providing for
forest reserves carried with them
the right to charge a grazing fee,
Now there are many people who
do not believe this decision is
sound but it is an exceedingly diff
ficult thing to bring al action to
test it because one can not secure
a permit to go on a with
out paying the fee and if one takes
stock on a reserve without a per-
