(SpeciaD-There is probably no policy

matters upon the national forests that

determined by the supervisors.
With the rapid increase in popula-

demands for grazing privileges upon
the national forests, especially from

1t has been the consistent policy of
the service to take care of the new
men just as far as possible without
too greatly restricting those already
using the ranges, and in ordsr to do
this it has been necessary to reduce
the number allowed the larger men on
q pro rata basis in order to give the
new men an opportunity. These reduc-
tions are only made after full con-
sideration of the conditions surround
ing each permit, and every effort is
made to carry out the system with as
little injury to the individual stockman
as is possible.
The result of this system of redu-

granted ON her verbal petition by

would the Federal courts have a right
to interfere with the local jurisdic
