BEST TERMS SOUGHT

Important Question of Taxa

Strong Delegation Sent to
Cheyenne Convention.

r TTAH woolgrowers are opposed to
federal control of the winter
sheep range. They think there
is enough and 10 spare of fed
eral control already in tho summer
range, Nevertheless they are not blind
to the fact that the leasing system
seems inevitable, and for that reason
they are taking steps to anticipate the
consequences. They 10 not propose to

tho Pinchot forest reserve. policy was
suddenly sprung on them, resulting III
great loss and for a time threatening g
the actual starvation of hundreds of
thousands of sheep.
In order to pull the sharpcst
thorns' Of tho leasing system, the
Utah woolgrowers arc preparing to Gu
tighten the bureau chiefs who will ad-
minister the leasing system upon con-
ditiops that are peculiar to the great
American desert, conditions which pre-
vail there and nowhere else in the
world. The first step toward this end
was the naming OF strong delegation
TO attend the National Woolgrowers
association convention. which begins its
sessions at Cheyenne tomorrow. Through
the national organization the Utah wool
producers will attempt to reach Wash
ington, and there present, before the
proper authorities, the situation as it
is with regard to the big desert country
where millions of sheep fnd forage

Leasing System Inevitable.

James Fl. Moyle. who has been in the
sheep business for thirty years, said he
favored the forest policy In d general
way. He deemed Il inevitable that the
leasing system would be adopted, and
added that he. for. one was not opposed
to paying a reasonable grazing fee ii
practical methods Of allotment were enl-
ployed and the wool producers were made
secure IN their rights.
Mr.. Moyle discussed the tariff, saying
that he did not think The sheepmcn should
ask the government to support their In
dustry. ANY industry that is supported
by the government must ultimately fail, "
said Mr., Moyle, III the sheepmcn Will
give proper care 10 tholr business they
will not have TO ask the government TO
support the Industry.
I'VE cannot expect the government 10
give us free range, The people OF
the east. who know nothing Of conditions
In the west. are clamoring for a sys-
tenn that will give the government some
main. II the government would put prac-
teal men on our desert who would de-
fine the areas and the rights OF each
sheep owner would be willing TO pay
q reasonable fee to the government TO
regulate our desert and insure range
for our sheep which outsiders and
strangers cannot take away from US,
We cannot resist the scientific grazing
of sheep: II is question OF the survival
OF the fittest.
81 believe the business we are en-
gagged In Is here TO stay. II he's en-
dured from, the beginning OF time IT Is
an industry that the government must
foster and which the state must foster"

STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Weakness Follows Moderately
Strong Opening.

Opening with a moderate display Of
activity and tone Of strength that
gave encouragement to the hopeful
long side, the stock market yesterday
in its initial sales suggested an inn
provement ,malgamated Copper.
America. an, United States Steel.
Canadian acific. Union Pacific and
Reading started off with favorable in
dications in the form of gains, com
pared with Mondays closing prices.
Stocks were still for sale, however. and
were supplied freely on the bulges,
which checked enthusiasm, and trading
relapsed into dulness. The Importance
to the railroads Of the engineers strike
situation naturally gave support to
reasonable expectation that an agree
ment TO arbitrate would be the signal
prices, and when the market failed to
show a substantial rally traders We're
considerably disappointed However,
the course Of prices, while somewhat
irregular. was upward during most Of
the forenoon. The leaders of the adj
vance were Reading and Union Pacific,
while United States Steel made an i'm
pressive recovery from its low price on
Monday. Some of the specials were de-
cidedly weak, Goodrich, Underwood
Typewriter and Woolworth being con-
spicuously soft. In the early afternoon
there practically was no activity and
the market presented a heavy tone.
Toward the end Of the afternoon ses-
sion the bears raided the market, and
stocks were offered so literally that low
levels were reached by some Of the
leading issues at the close. Looking at
the different elements which on Mon
day constrained the stock market and
stimulated a bearsh Tone yesterdays
developments did not inspire any OPP
timism, as there was little change for
cording to the news dispatches, had
not improved overnight, and the ac-
tivity on the part of the War Depart
ment in assembling troops TO provide
against more unfavorable turn in the
Mexican revolution. which might re-
quire intervention, was not destined TO
lend a cheerful air in that direction.
The news from Albany of recon-
mendation that the tax on stock trans
fers be doubled was not relished, as ii
indicated other trading restrictions of
legislative character. and foreign dis
patches were not reassurinS regarding
affairs on the Continent.
In the local money situation there
was an easier tone. and call loans We're
renewed at 334 per cent. This did not
indicate that money was more album
dant in its supply, but that there was a
lack Of demand for large loans as re-
suit of the inactivity on the Stock EX-
change There was a further engage
ment Of S2J0OOO in gold for Argentina.
but no other gold expectations were an
nounced. although there was rise IN
the price of foreign exchange.
