removed from the summer areas.
 With the 640-acre homestead bill, with the constantly increasing diff culty experienced in trailing to their winter range. the time cannot be far distant when there will be graZed on the forests only that amount of stock la can winter on the lands imme diate adjacent to it, therefore l am of the opinion that the department sh"aid be urged to protect their sum m, areas by including enough winter raI to support them.
 teI this is done and the govern mel Dbtains control of the land and water now owned by the stockmen then and not until then, in my opinion, can the grazing resources of the national forests be successfully commerciaiized in a manner that will rebound to the public good.
 The forest service has promulgated and have now in force a regulated sys tenn of grazing on> their forests of which they may be justly proud, cov- ering an almost unbelievabie range of conditions as wide as this great coun- try itself. This has been possible through the very closest cooperation of the stock men and the service. a condition enjoyed in no other branch of the government service irrespective of its age or worth. Shall this most beneficial condition be destroyed by placing this proposed arbitrary ad vance upon the grazing resources of our national forests without that meas ure of consideration and study as is employed in other forest commodities?
 The cooperation and support eX- tended the service in the past shows most conclusively that the stock men not only do not fear but favor the regulation of their business based upon fairness and the greatest good to the greatest number;" but they do fear regulation such as this proposed one. based, it pleases me to believe. on prejudice and transformation in asking the stock men to pay the interest on a government investment of increasing value to the whole people.
 Very truly yours.

the facts. before tha meetings in the following open letter, addressed to H H. Harmon. president of the Ar zOna Cattle Growers Association and President H. J. Gray of the Arizona Wool Growers Association:
 Gentlemen:
 You have no doubt recently received correspondence relative to the proposed increase in the grazing fees on national forests until in 1919 the fees will be double the present rate.
 This l believe to be of vital iinpor- tance and question upon which some immediate action should be taken.
 From letter recently signed by the secretary of agriculture, relative to this proposed increase is the following:
 One of the leading criticisms of the management of the national forests is that they are not self supporting and are burden upon the national treasury"
 Our 9ational forests areas were originally withdrawn and are still maintained to conserve the great nat urai resources of the west This has paced Tn government control beyond Individual exploitation except under government regulation, unknown mil lions of dollars in natural wealth which is and will continue to be in- creaslngly of vast importance to the nation.
 In California there are forests with drawn for no other purpose than the protection of watersheds, on which the grazing of live stock is such reg ligible factor that it could not be con sidered.
 In Florida areas have been with drawn under forest service manage ment to protect the turpentine in- dustry.
 In Oklahoma is a forest withdrawn Tor the purpose of perpetuating the buffalo, and in the northwest are Tor

enough to destroy the use of this for est for grazing purposes should the stockmen close their own water, at least until such time as more could be developed, which would be years and then only in uncertain quantities. The stockmen have made the full utiIiza ton of the Coconino forest possible at their own expense and on the Canyon division of the Tusayan forest. which joins the Coconino on the west, there is not drop of water except that developed by the stockmen. This also applies to the northern portion of the CocOnino of approximately one half million acres. Furthermore as you know, drift fence was completed last summer al a cost to the cowmen alone of s10,00o Not only that but the con tract with the government was so drawn that the cowmen must keep this fence in gooR repair for ten years. at the end of which time it becomes the property of the United States. This fence was constructed to prevent the over stocking of national forests range and is in the interior. of the forest and entirely on forest land. MT. Woolsey also fails to mention the fact that the Coconino National forest pays net return over and above the cost of its administration of from S65, 900 to Sl00,0 GOO annually.
 The live stock on the Indian reser- vation may change hands as often as desired without reductions. thus per 1nitting the stock man to take every advantage of the live stock market
 A grazing permit on national forest must be held at least three years be- fore it is transferable and is then sub ject to a cut of twenty per cent
 And op and pp ono rpctrict inn follows another. until in actual fact and in actual operation there is no comparison between grazing privileges on a national forest and on an Indian reservation from q commercial stand point and the very best proof of this is that grazers on both the Sitgreaves and COconino national forest are mak- ing every effort to dispose of their holdings on these forests and go to the Indian reservation instead, but are , hampered by the drastic regulations
