Cook, a practical cattleman of lOnl experience. was sent by the cattlemer
 in his country to join with me in pre-
 senting the situation to Mir. Pinchot.
 We met Mir Pinchot and Mir. E. w
 Potter, his assistant, in Washington on i May 18th. just at the close of the con
 ference of the governors which I had
 been attending, and presented the fol- i lowing statement in writing: | Messrs. Pinchot and Potter showed 1 every disposition to give the cattlemen
 a just hearing; promised us that no
 blanket grazing permits should be | granted; that the unsatisfactory con- | ditions referred to would be remedied as soon as possible and that an inves- Ltigating commission composed of Mir. Totter. D. D. Bronson and an official 1 of the reclamation service would. dur l ing the summer, come to Arizona, meet both the cattle and sheepmen, f and endeavor to bring about an inn provement in the situation.
 This meeting was held early in Sep | tember, and while the agreement was
 not entirely satisfactory to either cat | tie or sheepmen, I believe it was gen | orally recognized that the agreement reached was an improvement on the existing conditions. and represents an earnest effort on the part of the for estry service to better the situation. I. unfortunately. was unable to at tend this conference but other mem bers who were present will explain to this convention the action taken at the conference referred to.
 Another question which vitally af- fects the cattlemen of this territory is that of railway rates on cattle ship ments.
 As you are well aware, in the legis- lature of 1906 your legislative commit tee. acting under instructions from the cattle growers, endeavored to bring about the establishment of a territo rial railway commission with power to investigate all claims and present them in proper shape to the interstate commerce commission. This bill was defeated, but the need of territorial railway commission is now more largely recognized than in the last session of the legislature. All the members of the legislature from this county are already pledged to support a reasonable railway commission bill, and I understand that members of the legislature from other counties are likewise pledged.
 I am a great believer in encourag ing the railroads, as they are among the very best developers of the eoun- try. but when, as exists here in this community, rates exist which are dis proportionate and discriminatory. they should be frankly and promptly adjusted
 Trusting that we might be able to secure within Arizona an adjustment of these rates before the meeting of the legislature. l have taken up the matter with both the Santa Fe rail- way and the Southern Pacific, and

tives at the National Live Stock asso-
 citation, stated that they wished a def
 mite expression from ti.e practical stockmen of the National Live Stock
 association, as to just what form of | federal control was desired, if any. The answer of the National Live Stock association was expressed in a definite | bill which was endorsed by the Ma | tional Live Stock association by a vote of 396h to 32k.
 l had the opportunity of serving on l the committee of resolutions which | framed this bill. Our meeting lasted many hours and involved a full dis cussion of this important principle. | Many stockmen of national promi- hence served on this committee, among them Senator Carey of Wyo- ming. author of the Carey act; Mir. J. " Vickers of California, and Col. Jas. A. LOckhart of Colorado, who was chairman of the committee.
 The national administration having received so definite response from the stockmen to their request for sug- gestions, adopted the bill recommend ed by the National Live Stock associa- tion, without a change, and it has since been introduced by Senator Cur tis of Kansas under the name of Sen ate Bill No. 3451, and if actively push ed during the next session of congress, should become a law.
 Many men who have previously been opposed to the policy of federal con- trol of the public range believe that this bill is so fairly drawn and so thoroughly protects the rights of the present occupants of the public do- main, that they are supporting the measure. For instance, Senator Carey of Wyoming has long been one of the most prominent opponents of the pol icy of federal control of the public range and he is now actively support ing this measure-
 It will be seen by the foregoing statement that Arizonas influence has been a considerable one. and the bill of which ] will now read you a copy. if approved by the Arizona cattlemen, should receive their vigorous and ac- tive support at the coming session of congress.
 Last spring considerable complaint was made by cattlemen in the Verde and Tonto country as to the oVer-paS- turing of their range by sheep, and as the complaint seemed justified. I wrote MT. Pinchot, chief forester, on this subject, and under date of March 11th, received the following reply from the assistant forester, who wrote in MT. Pinchot's absence.
 My reply to MT. Cox letter was as folloWs:
 And received in reply the following letter from MT. Pinchot:
 After conferring with number of the cattlemen interested in the TOnto and Verde countries. it was decided ] that it would be to the interest of the l cattlemen that I present the situation l in person to MT Pinchot in Washing | ton, and at my request MT. W. w.
