Establishment by the National Wool
Growers association OF a wooden goods
factory TO give consumers better goods
at lower prices" and show them 'that
the growers are not responsible for the
high cost OF clothing" was advocated by
Magnus Brown, president OF the Mime
sofa Wool Growers association. in an ad-
dress before the national association yes
terday morning.
Designing people have long cultivated
the Idea that the tariff is responsible FOR
the high cost OF clothing and II has come
to a point where we must show consum-
ers that It is not" said Mr.. Brown. LET
us manufacture goods, giving the grower
and the factory fair profit and sell
the finished article at price which will
show consumers what the middlemen are
now making on cloth and clothing. Let
us give them all wooi goods. They are
sick and tired OF the stuff they have
been getting under the name of WOOL
wool is the only agricultural product
not increasing in price. While our indus
try langplshed, the steel. oil, lumber and
mining Industries prosper. While we are
In fear OF bankruptcy, the greatest con-
sumers of our product are continuing to
pay their regular dividends"
A. +. Potter OF Washington, ID. c., as
sociate forester OF the United States, as
sured the sheepmen that the forestry
bureau seeks 20 regulate and not pro-
hlbit the grazing OF sheep In national
forests; that where II is compelled to cut
down the number of sheep In one forest,
II increases the number in another which
has more feed; that the aggregate graz
ing capacity OF the forests Is being in
creased. rather than diminished. Grazing
by sheep iB a protection for standing

bureau is now trying 10 Induce flockmas-
tern 10 stock the forests OF northern

II. J. Hagenbarth OF Spencer Idaho
told Mr.. Potter that the sheepmen didn't
want 10 be allowed In the forest on suf-
cessors OF the bureau officials; they
wanted their rights TO be written into the
forestry laws. Mr.. Potter replied that he
was in hearty accord with the idea, but
II was up to the sheepmen TO decide
whether the time was opportune for a
change In the laws.
